Chevy Camaro Z28 1970 1/2

Absolutely every piece in my kit had a full set of flash wings. Now, I have been modeling for a long time and can handle a bit of flash but not like this. For starters the tooling is really old and the detail was only suggestive at best. My engine block looked like chewed tangerine bubble gum...with flash. Cleaning flash off of tiny parts must just be a pet peeve of mine because I put this thing away years ago. Last week I took the box down and decided to complete it, but the part I saw on the inside brought back bad memories. This was the worst kit I ever had the chance to work on. We will see what the finished product looks like, but I would recommend a different kit especially if this is for a beginner or someone with limited tools.

Do not buy! cheap and poorly molded in orange. All orange!!

This was the third AMT in a row that gave me issues, but this model was the worst. The orange parts were a challenge to cover with paint, and primer is highly recommended. The flashing was overwhelming, and the big dent in the roof was an indicator of issues to come. Once I had the car completely painted, I realized the hood was completely warped. This was a disastrous discovery. When I got over the disappointment of a warped hood, I assumed my quest to finish the project. Nothing wanted to fit, and I have a hole in the firewall due to a missing part. If this didn't have the best paint job I ever done, I would give this kit a poor rating. This project was so badly manufactured that I will be avoiding AMT kits for awhile. That's really disappointing because I have a 83 Camaro that's still in the box. I have to let it sit for awhile to avoid another nerve-racking build. This kit 70 1/2 Camaro kit is not for beginners at all! I say just avoid it all together.
