Maybe Replicas and Miniatures of Maryland has them? I think those wheels are also in the AMT '70 LT-1 Corvette, currently in reissue and stocked at Hobby Lobby, and the MPC '75 Corvette reissue, currently available for $9.99 at some Ollie's stores. If I'm wrong about this, I'm sure I'll be corrected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the worst kits ever for body/interior/chassis fit was the MPC '77 and newer Trans Am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about the rest of the F/C specific parts, but just focusing on the "glass" for now, I''m going to guess the F/C windshield was eliminated years ago from the group of transparent parts.

unclescott58 Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 I wonder if there is any chance that the Ventura II version of this kit could ever make a come back? The Ventura II variation of AMT's '72 Nova kit is the reason that the kit came with the seperate front fenders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 I bought a resin casting of the Ventura II body from Jimmy Flintstone. The front fenders and grill are cast in place and are sharp and clean looking. The head lights and bumper, and hood are also part of the kit. I would highly recommend if someone is serious about building a Ventura II. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1972coronet Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Hart's Parts Resin makes a nice conversion for the Nova-come-Ventura II : https://hartspartsresin.com/product/amt-72-pontiac-ventura-conversion/ While I've not yet purchased this particular set , I have purchased his 1968 Hemi Dart *interior* conversion https://hartspartsresin.com/product/revell-68-dodge-dart-hemi-interior-conversion/ It's a quality piece ; cleanly cast , almost like styrene !

I bought one brand new in 1973 and the fenders didn't fit that great back then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
