Yenko Camaro

I saw 2Fast 2Furious yesterday (Fly's quick review - piece of shit! [but itkept me entertained:biggrin: ]), after seeing the Yenko Camaro, I got wondering about what kits are available of it. A quick search tells me AMT have one out later in the year, no doubt as part of the film license and there is a diecast.

So i wondered what else is available, aftermarket or otherwise?

BTW, please don't use this thread to get into a discussion about 2F2F :rolleyes:

I believe the Yenko has been around awhile, it is prolly a reissue. There are also aftermarket Yenko decals available.

Didn't see the movie yet, it looks hokey on the advert. :rolleyes:

Revell did a Yenko Camaro a few years back, an EXCELLENT kit. It's since been changed to a Z28/RS. Don't bother with ANY AMT Yenko's, unless they do a new one. Perhaps Revell will get the hint and re-release their Yenko.

Good thing there was mountain biking, 24 Hours Le Mans, Canada GP and modeling to keep me occupied. :biggrin:

ive got 1 fly

a 1/24 pastic revell kit picked it up from a show a few months back with the same idea, building the 2f2f car, finding it hard 2 find refence material thou

any help any1 ?

btw agreed the film sucks sugar coated street racing seen followed by a sugar coated gangster seen. nearly walked out when they jump over the open bridge, its not dukes of harzard

LOL. I also was influenced by the one in the movie, so I redid my old Z/28 69 AMT Camaro in the style of the one from the movie. Not quite enough Yenko, but the color is close. :biggrin:

Look for Revell 7132, I believe it's the first kit on the Revell list. Probably what you're looking for.

I've been looking for one for quite a while, saw a few on ebay but alwayed passed them. Anyways, the latest Sport Compact Car has a few pics of the 2f2f car, which is a replica of a Yenko with the 427!

BTW, who sells the aftermarket decals?

reveel made a 427 sYc??!! :bloated:

I believe if you simply buy the 69 motion kit and add the exhaust system from the RS kit as well as add the aftermarket decals you'll have a yenko sYc. :bigthumb: I'd like a yenko or the motion kit, but I'm not going anywhere near a model store, what with my current backlog of kits.

The Baldwin-Motion car/kit came standard with the 454 reverse-scooped hood. Plus the wheel/tire combo was different (Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong :icon16: )

Model Car Garage Photo etch for the 69 Camaro has Yenko badges and a bunch of other stuff.

I got mine for the Baldwin Motion 427. It has all available engine size badges BUT the 427!

Its part number MCG2068

I bought mine from Scale Dreams.

the 1970 came with the big bad 454 but I'm not so sure about the 69 - you might be right, but the hood and tyres/wheels are different. I can't remember, but I can check a little later. :biggrin: hoping for a re-release now.

All you need to build this car is the Revell kit some Lemans blue paint (wait I'm not sure about that color) I will know for sure tommorow and a set of Crager mags. The decal sheet comes with decals to do a black stripe or white stripe version.

THe 24 hours of le Mans has already happend this year????
shit

oh well

Ive seen the camaro in the commercials and love the way it looks, i plan on doing some type of muscle car before the summer is over and i think i might try to make one like it!

I'd avoid AMT if Revell made the same kit Chris. Go Revell if you want a Yenko.

I got to say this somewhere:
I really despise The Fast And The Furious but because it's the only series of movies being made now that is all about cars, is the only reason why I see the movies. I am yet to see the new one but I'm sure it is as stupid as the first.

yeah i bought the revell yenko today its really great but not sure which color to paint it... any suggestions?

Orange, with two black stripes.

Congratulations, this thread has been dead for a whole year today!!
My only suggestion is to refrain from dredging up old threads, especally to ask a pointless question.

Try searching google or ebay for the same car and see which color YOU like.

my bad about bringin back the old thread but thanks for the suggestions that orage with black stripes sounds good but i think orang with white would look better

I meant to say you could use either but I didn't. Both would look good to me.
