Yenko Camaro

[flyonthewall]

I saw 2Fast 2Furious yesterday (Fly's quick review - piece of shit! [but itkept me entertained ]), 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

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.

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.

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.

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?

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. 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 )

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. hoping for a re-release now.
