Camaro Rally Sport grille

[9cats]

I had a resin grille for a 68 Camaro RS but passed it on to my brother for his build.  I have forgotten where I got it, does anyone know of a source?

Thanks, 

Wally

Modelhaus used to have a repro of the original AMT '67 annual, but of course they're long gone. 

At least one outfit is repopping the grille from the MPC '68, but it's only accurate on the right side. 

The grille from the recent Revell kit isn't accurate either.

There are people on eBay selling them.

What is the issue with the Revell grille?

I remember folks saying the chrome trim ring wasn't tall enough to easily wipe the black paint away when the kit came out.

The wanted section would be a chance that someone might have one to give. We have great helpful people here..

It's symmetrical top to bottom. The real Camaro grilles are wider at the top and "tuck in" a bit at the bottom. If you're a true First-Gen Camaro fan, this inaccuracy is a real poke in the eye.

yea, what he said. ☝️

Never really bothered me though.

That's an absolutely magnificent model whose appearance is ruined by that inaccurate grille (Revell's fault, not yours). 

BTW, are you SURE you didn't install it upside down?

Yup, there it is. Clearly NOT the same top to bottom and the way Revell molded it just looks WRONG.
