Chevy Camaro Z28 1970 1/2

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.

I must say I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of this kit! interior detail was above average for AMT, although I found the rims included very disappointing=the slots on the wheels were mostly flashed over and they were molded in neon orange as was the rest of the kit! have plenty of paint on hand as it takes several coats to put out the NEON! I ended up finding a set of US Mags that looked very similar to the stock Z28's I was also unhappy with the lack of chrome plated parts Grille, Bumpers and shifter are it. the headlight/turn signal trim on the body must be painted but hey so does the window trim on every kit unless you use foil. I found this kit includes a stock height rear axle as well as a raised version that I really liked! All in all a nice offering from AMT/Round 2

Overall a good kit. Need to be ready to clean a lot of flashing, and clamp a lot of parts due to warping. Be sure to primer every thing, the orange molded color is hard to cover if you don't. Hardly any chrome parts. Decals very brittle after application. Definitely a time consumer and challenging.
