68 Camaro grille?

[KWT]

Curious if anyone makes a 68 grille for the Revell 67 Camaro?

they made a 68 Camaro, the 68 have side markers

One annoyance about Revell's '67 Camaro is in fact the front end itself including the grille. The very front end of the fenders are not shaped correctly so if they did a correct '68 grille, the fenders would also have to be corrected to get things right.

I have both the regular '67 Camaro as well as the 'Nickey' one.........that would be the first order of business in fixing that front end as well as the too sloped rear end.

Granted, some don't mind the inaccuracies of that, but with me once I saw the error, I can't unsee it.

The 68 has different tail lights and did not have wing windows also

Check with Norm and Replicas and Miniatures of Maryland, he may have one. I haven't checked to see if the 68 grille from the AMT kits would fit the 67 Revell body, might have to try that soon.

Isn't there a tutorial on this somewhere ?

67's also have a completely different interior and console .........

Not that I know of. I've posted some pics of my rear-end corrections in the Workbench section, but haven't started the front yet, nor written it all up as a tutorial.

I mastered this grille several years ago to fit MCG's 68 P/E grille, with clear signal ad headlights. I had Norm Veber make a couple of resin copies for me but he never made them available. Kevin Lutz has my master now and has been on his to do list but no availability at this point. Hopefully he can make a mold when his busy schedule clears up. I made it from the AMT 68 Camaro grille but it fits the Revell grille opening very well.
