70 camaro finished, what you think???
havent finnished yet, but im very happy, even before i opened the kit
 its an AMT 70 1/2 Baldwin Motion Camaro  i have to tell you, the quality is nothing close to tamiya  , hard to fit stuff together , but i cant wait until is done in the original pic, the car has that white triangle coming from the back, mine will be all black, or maybe blue and white strippes here is a pic// took some pics of the interior, but theres not much detail to show. i'll post pics when is done any1 else has this kit, and care to post pics? thanks ps. any tips on wires? i want to put some spark plug wires from the distributor to the just above the headers, duhh

I did the same kit a few months back and the result is just gorgeous. Do you plan on adding the Baldwin Motion stripes? I can't believe they weren't included in the kit.

I did one of these a while back, it was silver with a black stripe running over it from the hood bulge. shameful paintjob and a chassis stuck to the body with bluetack doesn't equal good. I plan on buying another one soon! post some pics of yours when it's finished too.

every time i go to the hobby store, i am always tempted to pick up this kit.... i might just end up doing so now
but i'm a little disappointed here... there are no stripes included in this kit!? what are they thinking marketing it as a baldwin motion camaro and not including the stripes? anyway, looking forwards to your progress. a.

Good choice!
The AMT B/M kit is pretty decent. Not a Tamiya, but not garbage by any stretch. The lack of decals is a stupid oversight.
I built my red one from a predecorated version sold at Wal Mart. All parts were painted and the kit retailed for under $9.00! I added more paint detailing inside and under the hood, and applied foil chrome trim over the silver painted trim. The nice thing about the red one is the white graphics were already applied. I had to paint the taillight area white, and touch up the rear pan. It was a fun build. I want to do one w/more detail, that I paint the graphics, so this is one I built to learn the kit. The only fit problems I remember are the headers to the side pipes. They are a bit fiddly to align properly.   The following model is a fully-built version sold by AMT. It's okay, but a bit rough in a few areas. It's from their "Masterpiece" series. I have since fixed the horrible ride height-the front end of the car sat WAY too high! I think the Chinese lady at the AMT factory who built this one was a bit tired that day...

WOW
very nice work there zoomzoom did you painted the window trim silver or crome, i dont know how to make it look like crome the only thing left to do is paint the boddy, and it does not include the stripes  i didnt plant on put in stripes anyways, only one color, or the stripes from front to back, but now i changed my mind and will be all one color, metalic black

  For your wires, use a pin vise and a .020" (i think) drill bit, and the appropriate diameter wire. I`m not sure how many people know how fast those Baldwin Motion cars were. According to a book I have, the `69 Baldwin Motion Camaro was over 600hp, ran 11 sec quarter miles at 125mph, and according to the author were designed simply to "scare the **** out" of people!
