I bought another BM Camaro (same stock number) a couple years later and it was molded in red. The roof was gekakt; so, I called up Revellogram for a replacement. Guess what RM sent me..........a green body to go with all of the red parts and a free set of Yenko Camaro decals. Go figure. Sounds like you received a test shot body as a replacement. Do you still have it, by chance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SfanGoch Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Sad to say, no. The idiot who lived upstairs from me decided he was going to fix the plumbing in his kitchen by himself. The unchecked water, and the collapsed ceilings in my apartment, ended up destroying just about everything model-wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SfanGoch Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Wasn't this kit released around 2000 and the Metalworks version sometime around 2011? The original issue BM Camaro and the AAR Cuda are both 1991ish vintage. I also had a '69 Camaro RS/SS kit from around the same period which was molded in orange styrene. I bought all of these kits at The Hobby Shop in Richmond Hills, Queens within a few months of each other. I also had a Revell '67 Chevelle (not the "Pro-Street" version which was the same green as the BM Camaro and AAR Cuda)) which was molded in a dark metallic blue styrene. I wish I still had them.....

The orange-molded '69 Camaro was part of a two-kits-in-one-box set, and the only time AFAIK the 1/25 Revell '69 Camaro was molded in orange: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MPC? I think I have one molded in orange. A convertible--or maybe someone just cut the top off it. I have it in a box of leftover MPC '69 Camaro parts.

SfanGoch Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Hey, I haven't seen this kit for over 25 years. It was, and still is an RS. Says so in the description: DescriptionThe '69 was one of the best selling of all the Camaro® models over the years. The special Z/28™ package added a unique 302 cubic inch V-8 and other high performance parts to create a blend of good handling as well as powerful acceleration. This Revell kit includes the Rally Sport™ front end trim and the rare dual quad and chambered exhaust options. Features: Opening cowl induction hood, spoilers front and rear, waterslide decals. Requires paint and glue (not included). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you'd said that to start with, I'd have known exactly what kit you meant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spex84 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 So many cool kits I'd never heard of in this thread! So...maybe some of you will be able to ID these random parts I recently acquired (top photo only--the bottom ones have been identified already). They're a very pale green-blue (not grey--in reality they're a bit more green than they appear in this photo) and I've labelled the parts according to what I think they are--but I could be wrong!

Richard Bartrop Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Airfix also did their 1/32 Bentley in green, as did Heller with their 1/24 Bentley. Monogram also released their Rolls-Royce Phantom II Henley Roadster in green. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
