2018SS Diecast model
Evening all
I have been trying to track down a model of a 2018 6th gen 2SS in white. I have found plenty of ZL1s and 2019 6.5s but nothing like I am after. As I am in Aus its probably harder again as not a lot comes up in searches. Can any of you US peeps help me out in tracking down something that looks similar to my car in a model? |

Nice setup.
You're probably going to have a really hard time finding anything exact. 2018 simply wasn't an "interesting year" for the car, especially since it's one year -past- the 50th anniversary edition. Most of the pre-made stuff is also not available in white, so finding even a 2016 is basically impossible since you can't get the correct color. Have you considered something like this? https://www.amazon.com/AMT-2016-Chev...40017&sr=8-249 It's a plastic model that you build. And, it can be painted. I've seldom put models together in the molded color - I've always painted them to the colors I wanted. You'd have to decide if you wanted to fashion your own splitter and skirts to attach to it, but you'd at least get something very, very close with a few coats of white spray model paint. |

To get that in 1:18 diecast or 1:25 plastic will require painting and some (probably custom) decals for the stripes. Unfortunately a bit of work no matter how you do it.
Some of the die-cast cars can be disassembled with a screwdriver and/or drilling out the rivets. |

I'm admiring the homes with varying roof color, exterior wall design, architectural carpentry details... even the color of the stamped concrete varies!
Leave it to Oz. That's not how we do it in 'murica. When we build a cookie-cutter neighborhood EVERY COOKIE IS CHOCOLATE CHIP, DAMMIT! |

Greenlight, Hot Wheels ( Matchbox ), Auto World, and Mastio do 16,s Camaro SS die-casts. Did you really check your local Hobby shops ?

There are a lot of options that are close in certain areas, but Summit White is pretty much impossible to find no matter the year.
