The AMT-Ertl 1970 1/2 Z-28 and Baldwin-Motion Camaro kits introduced around the turn of the century were all new tooling.  No comparison with the earlier kits in terms of interior/chassis/interior/powertrain detail.  While I am not a fan of ScaleMates in terms of achieving high degree of accuracy on kit history, apparently, they called this one correctly. 

I can post detailed images of two builds from this kit (a 1970 1/2 SS396 kitbash and a late 1970 1/2 (with pull ahead 1971 paint and late year front and rear spoilers) mild kitbash) if anyone wants to see more details on the subject kit.... for now, here's an overall shot.

This is the same kit tooling that was reissued just a few years back with the alternative (base non-RS)  1970 1/2-1973 full front bumper/front end treatment....TIM

Just for clarity, I'm thinking Mike was referring to this kit, not the new tool '70. 

This for those who don't know about the older kit, I know you're familiar Tim.
