LF: Resin '69 Camaro SS hood to fit Revell kit.

[LVZ2881]

I'm in need of one to complete a stalled project.

I already purchased a Competition Resins piece.

It doesn't fit. I didn't notice upon purchase that it was for the AMT kits.

I think modifying it to fit is beyond my skills.

Anyone have any info one a hood for the Revell '69 Camaro kits?

Didn't Revell do a '69 convertible kit that had the SS hood? I'm not sure, I've never owned the ragtop kit.

Not that I know of. I have several issues of the ragtop and each has the cowl induction hood. I picked up a nice SS hood from Modelhaus.

The Revell 69 Camaro Convertible kit does have the SS hood in the kit, I believe either the white car or red car on the box will have the hood you are looking for. I checked my stash and could only find the red car box and it had the hood. I just checked a little closer in the stash, it is the AMT 69 Camaro Convertible kit that has the SS hood, not the Revell. My apologies for the confusion.

You can also source the hood from Replicas and Miniatures of Maryland. They have a kit from Scale Resin Detailers, SRD 7104, that has the correct hood and air cleaner.

There was a short run of the Revell 69 Camaro snap tite kits that had the SS hood and standard grille, that should fit if you can find that kit.

This, but the kit isn't that easy to find, and you'll still need to mod the hood to fit the Revell "glue kit" '69 Camaro body.

I want to say R&MCoM makes this hood, though...might have to call or send them a letter and ask.

They sure do Casey, my response included the Scale Resin Detail part number! I have one and it is a very nice piece.

What kit?  I've never seen anything but the cowl hood '69 snap  Are you thinking of 1/32 scale?

Just as Mike said above:

Here is the Modelhaus hood, the fit is perfect as always. I also have another I picked up from Reliable Resins a few years ago and it is ok, but nothing like the Modelhaus piece.

Are the faux vents molded as one with the hood or separate pieces? The nice thing about the Revell snap kit's hood is the vents are separated, chrome plated parts.

Molded as one.
