1970 1/2 Chevy Z28 Camaro 350 Full Bumper 1/25 Scale Model Kit Build Review AMT with NEW PARTS!

[@jeffreysmith3697]

You don't build models, you build works of art. Another great job man!

[@lancebuttox9637]

You are costing me a fortune young man and I thank you for it. I had lost my modelling mojo but you have restored it, thank you

[@hpiguy]

Glad I could help, hahahaha!

[@MODELMIND72]

Nice build up of a iconic Chevrolet Camaro.

[@hpiguy]

Thanks!

[@chassegallerie2910]

Another good kit by Round2. If only ALL of their kits were like this, negative comments about AMT/MPC/Polar LIghts would go away. It's a pretty Camaro, I was surprised that they made the front bumper a separate part from the grill. For people that like to do resto-mods and want to delete the chrome, that's a plus.

[@hpiguy]

Thanks for watching!

[@ScotWithOnet]

Nice. I built this same kit while home during quarantine in April 2020. My kit was cast molded in orange though, and had the split bumper. It was an AMT brand, and all the sprues and everything looked just the same, so I'm guessing they just decided to mold it in white now.

[@hpiguy]

There are a few differences such as the new bumper, front end and the fit has been refined on this issue.

[@bmxdenver1]

Got mine recently and it was In orange with the orange box art

[@jackcrager4142]

watching your vidios got me back into building,have learned alot of tips and tricks the mod podge on glass has been a lifesaver

Do the wheels roll on these model cars?

[@southern_angel]

Nice build like all the rest been builder and rare kit collector for 50 years i have a 50 year of unopened kits love to see all these great kits come back your paint jobs are great ive always used base coat clear coat got to try your way thanks keep up your great work cant wait for the next one

[@hpiguy]

Right on!

[@southern_angel]

@hpiguys Workshop love your paint techniques. I use gray primer and I use automotive lacquer from the part store and water sand primer. Use a tach cloth to dry and clean. Use a automotive lacquer basecoat to paint. Then use a high quality clearcoat enamel. Going to try your technique.

[@southern_angel]

Can't wait to see the biplane build love the last

[@teddyjones8027]

Love the color, I'm soo glad to see that everything went together so well. I have been hesitant to buy this kit because I wanted to see if it was really as good as they claimed and I must say I'm sold. I just ordered 2. Thank you for sharing your awesome build. Stay safe and healthy and remember to smile

[@hpiguy]

Thanks Teddy!

[@tiptop8584]

I owned a full bumper, Placer Gold blk/Stripe '71 Z/28. Drove it as my daily driver for 10 years. Was stock except for headers and American racing 200s wheels. Never should of sold that beautiful car. A must buy and build for me!

That is probably the best color for that year Z28. Very beautifully done.

[@hpiguy]

Couldn't agree more!

[@icupp8844]

I have built 3 of the older kits before and was always disappointed that the headlight surrounds were always distorted, I’m glad that they are better now

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Much agree Lou !!

[@hpiguy]

Thanks for watching!

[@boss9mustang404]

My grandpa (78) had a '701/2 Camaro RS with the Z28 pacage. 350 V8 just like this one. Sold a couple months ago after he retired from his job of 60 years. He had a stroke shortly after, hes in recovery now. Was blue+black. Might pick this up!

You got that right!

If I think about it hard enough I can still smell it. Ahh the days of my youth. 😎

[@jimgallagher2979]

All the Camaros look great in white too. I did this one in white with a black vinyl roof and it looks really nice. I've done black over white a few times and it's my favorite color combination. Next up for me is a square body GMC pickup.

[@jlewis572]

hey chris.. you are awesome! thanks for building this kit.. i have a camaro split bumper kit like this im building into a pro street with a custom made resin chassis.. its going to be a model of my 70 split bumper i had back in the day.. mine was hunter green with black interior with white stripes. this brought back many memories of fun times!

[@hpiguy]

Enjoy your build up!

[@blkjkyl]

I built this kit and it turned out pretty good. I say pretty good because the hood doesn't sit properly and the headlight surrounds are not moulded well. I considered building a second one in hopes of getting one that didn't have these issues. After seeing results from others and reading comments I don't think I will.

[@gjones7117]

That’s beautiful….nice job!!

[@fredandkit]

I love the colors you picked for this build. When you were deciding what strips to use I chose the black ones. I could have bumped ahead and look, but that would have taken the fun out of watching for your decision. we were on the same page on that. I like to watch your channel and the progression as it moves on and think what I would do. Sometimes I sit and look at the kits and think how I would build it. I find your tips top notch and have to use some. Great job Thank you.

[@hpiguy]

Thanks a lot man!

[@skeezix8156]

These kits kept me out of trouble in the 70’s. Now they’re so damn expensive I grab whatever I can at goodwill for less than $5. Nice video.

[@hpiguy]

Enjoy!

Great job on it Chris I like that they put location points for the chin and rear spoiler thanks for doing this build and the body color looks great

[@hpiguy]

Me too, makes final assembly so much better!

I'm looking for a 72 Nova model that I can build up like the one my dad had back in 1976. It was a RS. Im thinking I would have to try and find RS decals for it. Keep up the great work!

I believe that car was just called the Nova Rally, not a RS (Rally Sport).

Right on! No idea on that Nova but maybe a viewer will!

[@MikeBrown-ii3pt]

A friend of mine had a Rallye Nova, I'm thinking his was a 71, when we were in high school. It was still in pretty good shape even though our high school days were in the mid 80s. Between my 72 Malibu and his Nova, we had lots of fun cruisin' on Friday and Saturday nights in our small town.

I've been looking forward to this build for a long time (as the 70 Camaro is one of my favorite rides) Chris and as always you don't disappoint. I 'm currently putting the finishing touches on the split bumper version of this kit. I mimicked an episode of Muscle car and built as close as I could to the one they built from the Citrus green paint to the brown carpet a tan seats right down to a big block Chevy V8 I scrounged up in the parts box and passed it off as a 402 as those were all factory options for the Camaro in 1970 except the 402 was only available in the Super Sport and not the Z28

[@JDsHouseofHobbies]

I had a 72 RS, Placer Gold and white. Yep, mine had a saggy rear end! Fun fact: if your Camaro was ordered by the dealer with the spoiler package, the rear spoiler was mounted at the factory, the front was shipped in the trunk to prevent damage. When the car arrived at the dealer, they would take the front spoiler and put it in the parts dept. so they could sell it to someone else!

Another great video. I learn something new with each one of your videos. Here's a question. I saw a tip about using food coloring added to floor wax to tint the windows. Ever hear of that? I tried it once,brushing the mix on & it was uneven & bit too dark. Tamiya makes a window tint in a spray can,but I don't want a gangster too dark look,you know,the kind cops write tickets for

Never tried it. I've used the Testors clear black window tint spray, works pretty good.
