A simple fix is using the exhaust from a Revell Nova kit- fits just fine and is NOT chambered! Looking forward to this kit, not that I need any more 69 Camaros, but at least this one has a different hood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disconovaman Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 I had heard (read)rumors that Revell was revamping this kit and making some changes. I read it was a 2n1 kit and would offer newly tooled wheels and hood. A Stock and Drag version much like the original release Revell 69 Nova was in the works... Too good to be true I guess... I was reluctant to speak of the post from FB just because I didn't want to feed the Rumor mill. Now that the boxart has been revealed, It's safe to say that the Drag version will not happen. I was excited for that too because I think it would've been a great option for the Camaro. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with you, I'll get one just because it has a different hood, and I do like those dog dishes!

Rusty92 Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Is this the better of the 69 Camaro kits? I’ve never built one but would like to add one to the stash! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1972coronet Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 One of the nicest features of the Revell 1969 Camaro (which I can't flippin' believe has been around for north of 30 years already !) is that the more-recent (last ~15 years) issues have separate exterior door handles (in addition to the hardtops' moulded-on handles). IIRC, those separate handles premiered with the convertible edition. The older than Methuselah MPC et al. 1969 Camaro is an absolute heap; the Monogram (when they were separate from Revell) '69 Z-28 is also a steamer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deuces wild Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Yep! They did a nice job on the 302 engine halves... The dampner part looks exactly like a high performance 327 or 302... 8" diameter X 2" thick in scale inches... Oh, and I love the crossram intake...👌 They should have included the single high rise intake also.. Oh, well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope she's able to get traction to drive it outa there before the tide comes in!
