Junkman Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 (edited) What I would like on mine are the PO2 wheels. And behold ye goode olde Polyglase. Yes, I know. It has the abhorrent split bumper we all hate so much. Will I get them in the kit? Unlikely. Will I get a 250L6? Yeah, right.

The fender mounted nameplates/emblems are not molded with the body, but I suspect the new grille will have the Z28 emblem molded as one with the grille.

Can-Con Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Looks like this will need a new body. I hope they correct the top of the rear fenders on this one while they have the chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larman Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 I'll be in for 1 or 2 for sure. I would definitely be in for an SS version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted October 19, 2019 Author Share Posted October 19, 2019 (edited) I wish Round2 would have created the three-piece rear spoiler, too, but maybe there just wasn't room for it. Edited October 19, 2019 by Casey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it has that spoiler while the Z/28 kit has the smaller one. The funny thing is, the Z/28 kit I have has a green 1:1 on the box art w the big spoiler, while the kit only has the small one.

Rob Hall Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 (edited) On the subject of early 70s Camaros, dug out these two 73s from my stash. Bought as buildups a few years ago, going to keep them as is probably...MPC and AMT.. Edited October 19, 2019 by Rob Hall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has a few issues, a broken steering wheel, missing radiator hose, etc. The Chevelle is an MPC ‘72, good chrome and complete except for no engine or transmission. I have it in annual box but it was molded in red. Edited October 19, 2019 by Rob Hall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe RC2 can add the part from the Baldwin Motion kit to the new Z28 kit. I have yet to build one of these as a Z28, even though I still have several unbuilt 2nd generation Camaro kits in my collection. I will still get at least one of these just for the front end.

The B-M kit is still easily found and the few people who want to build the new full bumper version with the three-piece rear spoiler shouldn't have too much trouble locating that part.

Either spoiler would work for me, but I prefer the three piece spoiler. I have some definite plans for the kit. Film at eleven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deuces Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 I'm still not convinced....? I'll pass on this one fellas.... I have 1 of each from the last release.... Love that Baldwin kit with the L-88 hood.... I have a spare tunnel ram from the AMT chevelle pro streeter I could use with that hood..... ??

Classicgas Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 I plan on one. Have a 6 for it, a power glide, and both the turbine wheels and steelies and caps. Base model here I come lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it would not be an easy task to 'remove' the emblem on either grille, but Model Car Garage detail set #2186 would help: Just an FYI, the AMT '70.5 Baldwin-Motion Camaro kit includes the Custom Interior option, which I'm assuming is the same as found in the AMT '70.5 Z/28-RS kit. Real door panel: AMT Baldwin-Motion kit's door panel: The RS letters on the steering wheel emblem would need to be removed, too: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the former is slightly smaller than the latter due to the rubber bumper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted October 29, 2019 Author Share Posted October 29, 2019 True, the MCG inserts will probably only fit the RS style grille as is. I guess we'll see if how well or poorly the MCG inserts fit the standard grille once the kit arrives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
