NOBLNG Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 (edited) Which one of these is a better kit to build? I eventually want to build one and the other is going to go for parts.

NOBLNG Posted February 24, 2021 Author Share Posted February 24, 2021 I was just typing in a further query as to whether the bodies came from the same mold or not when you replied. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike 51 Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 i believe it's the same kit Z28 has small block and stock wheels the other is a big block with custom wheels . other minor differences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How could the bodies be any different? The F and F Camaro looks like the same Yenko kit from years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike 51 Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 i think he's confusing the Revell kit with the AMT gotta read those boxes more carefully? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, so I cracked open both boxes...and most of it is identical. Casting numbers are the same on the trees for the body, interior, hood, tires etc. The only differences are the chrome tree and the engine tree. Thanks Guys.

Oldcarfan27 Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 At first glance, I thought the same thing that John Pol thought. Both brands look very similar, I get them mixed up a lot! Same problem with the Smokey and the Bandit Trans Ams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 23 minutes ago, mike 51 said: i think he's confusing the Revell kit with the AMT Yes, I think so, as there were '69 Yenko Camaros under the Fast & Furious label from both Revell and AMT. Avoid all AMT '69 Camaro kits, period. Both kits are very similar, Greg, based on the same design work. The RS/SS has a Small Block Chevy V8, the Yenko version a Big Block Chevy V8. Wheels, grilles, and tail/brake/backup lights are different, but mostly everything else is the same. Both build well without major issues.

keyser Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 AMT is body to avoid. They did FF too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
