the other Mike S. Posted February 6, 2020 Posted February 6, 2020 The full front bumper looks better with the tall rear spoiler IMO. Include the high back buckets and you can make any late '70 to '73 Z28. I know the high back bucket seats would be too much to ask for, but they should've at least included the tall rear spoiler as an option. Cannibalizing it from a Baldwin Motion kit makes that kit unusable except for spare parts. All BM cars had the tall rear spoiler option, I believe.

That's not an RS.

The RS bumper is two pieces. I've seen a bunch like this over the years, it's a common modification to the standard front end. Edited May 15, 2020 by Rob Hall

I think it was a St. Louis car, I don't think it was one of MSO's.

I've got a resin casted tall rear spoiler for the 70 Camaro (it was technically a 70 1/2) Email me at harkinsp@comcast.net with your postal address if you still need one.
Phildaupho Posted June 4, 2020 Posted June 4, 2020 Anybody have any news regarding this kit? I started doing a conversion a few years ago and is the last project on my started but unfinished list so I am tempted to get back at it and try to finish it before the new kit comes out. I have done the same thing a number of times before - Corvette C5R, Viper 2-Gen Coupe, Ferrari 599 GTO and 32 Ford 5-W Coupe

Another one I'm waiting for. I love the both the regular and RS front ends. I maybe lean to the RS front end a bit more. But, we've had enough models of the RS versions over the years. The regular full bumper front end will be a nice change. Edited June 7, 2020 by unclescott58

Phildaupho Posted June 6, 2020 Posted June 6, 2020 I am not waiting. The grill area was turned upside down, the small inner lights filled, the parking light area under the bumpers cut opened and filled, the center part of the bumper from a 70 Mustang. I am building the Chaparral Trans Am racecar.
Casey Posted June 6, 2020 Author Posted June 6, 2020 6 hours ago, Force said: That can may be be the case. That is the case. James Duff mentioned it here on the forum, and Jamie from Round2 pretty much confirmed it in the livestream video they had a few months ago.

I am building the Chaparral Trans Am racecar. Cool! Drive on! Before Modelhaus went OOB I ordered a couple of the full-bumper fronts from the original AMT '70, having determined from an eBay glue bomb that the piece could be made to fit into a current-prod RS kit.

It was confirmed in that live stream that the problem is the new tool 70.5 Camaro from the 90s isn't actually equilateral when comparing the two front fenders side to side so the new front nose piece didn't fit...at all. This is the reason these "new" kits based on old tooling are so labor intensive and take so long to finish and you see things like the Vegas just getting entirely new bodies done.
unclescott58 Posted June 7, 2020 Posted June 7, 2020 (edited) Model Roundup is listing September 2020 for the release of the full bumper 70 1/2 Camaro. That's only three months away. I hope they're correct, for that's not too long of a wait now. Edited June 7, 2020 by unclescott58
unclescott58 Posted June 7, 2020 Posted June 7, 2020 Thinking about it, I decided to go back to Model Roundup and pre-order the kit. So that's now taken care of.

Well I ordered this Full Bumper Camaro from Jack at Model Roundup back in early February as he then had it as a February 2020 release, then the Covid19 thing came and everything was halted and a month later I ended up cancelling the order for the Camaro so I could get the other things I ordered. So I believe the Covid19 also has something to do with the 8 month delay. Edited June 7, 2020 by Force
niteowl7710 Posted June 8, 2020 Posted June 8, 2020 The livestream video that was done was the 31st of January and they were on just starting their second go-around trying to get the front core tooling sorted out at that point. So while Coronavirus has invariably delayed things since then, there was 0 chance that kit was ever coming out in February.
Luc Janssens Posted July 24, 2020 Posted July 24, 2020 Round-2 just posted this photo on their Facebook page, looking good!
