69 COPO Camaro kit (contents?)

[TECHMAN]

I notice that AMT has a 69 COPO Camaro kit, Hot Wheels edition in their up & coming releases, my question is this, will this new kit have engine/transmission and the parts to build a complete car, or will it be one of those "curbside/snap type" skill level 0, kits?  Anyone that might know????

Based on the 69 Cougar it will have all the normal parts plus some big wheels and maybe some Hotwheels style engine dress up parts. It probably won't have any stock decals though.

It is a "normal" kit and not a curbside/Craftsman kit.

It is not a great kit, and I would not recommend it. It is worth the extra time and money to get a Revell 69 Yenko Camaro.

I am not an AMT hater or a Revell lover however in this case the AMT (formerly MPC) Yenko is one of AMT's poorer kits while the Revell Yenko is one of Revell's best kits.

This is a Revell Yenko I built years ago (I altered the wheels and stance to personal taste).

Agreed

 

The Revell 1969 is a very nice kit

Back in 2008 Revell issued this version of it's 69 Camaro in a snap kit with Hot Wheels logo on the box. IMO, this curbside kit builds up nicer than the upcoming AMT kit as the body is better proportioned.  Funny how the license has been shared over the years.
