michellej Posted November 19, 2016 Posted November 19, 2016 amt/ertl 72 chevelle the grille and rear bumper in this kit did not fit that well to the body for some reason
Snake45 Posted November 19, 2016 Posted November 19, 2016 I just bought a cheap "rebuilder" '72 Chevelle at a toy show that seems to have the same issues with the front grille/bumper as yours. It also has the separate front parking lights. I can't figure out what kit it is. The chassis and engine seem to be AMT, but that front end is nothing like the '80s/'90s vintage AMT '72 Chevelle I built a couple years ago. I wonder if AMT reissued some sort of hybrid AMT/MPC '72 Chevelle at some point?
