9cats Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 I had a resin grille for a 68 Camaro RS but passed it on to my brother for his build. I have forgotten where I got it, does anyone know of a source? Thanks, Wally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake45 Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Modelhaus used to have a repro of the original AMT '67 annual, but of course they're long gone. At least one outfit is repopping the grille from the MPC '68, but it's only accurate on the right side. The grille from the recent Revell kit isn't accurate either.

What is the issue with the Revell grille? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snake45 Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 7 hours ago, deuces wild said: Yep! Inquiring minds like mine 🤪 want to know... It's symmetrical top to bottom. The real Camaro grilles are wider at the top and "tuck in" a bit at the bottom. If you're a true First-Gen Camaro fan, this inaccuracy is a real poke in the eye. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's an absolutely magnificent model whose appearance is ruined by that inaccurate grille (Revell's fault, not yours). BTW, are you SURE you didn't install it upside down? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
