Andy's Kits #3 The AMT Craig Carter IMSA Camaro (It's a REAL Race Car) 

I remember that kit when I was a kid I turned it into a street car for a local hobby shop contest won second in junior division

really enjoy these kinds of old kit reviews!

I have two of those kits, one molded in white and one in blue. I'm going to make one up as a White Castle sponsored car. Great stuff Luka! Thank You for sharing!

Great video. Love looking at the kits in Andy’s big find.

What a cool kit looks fun to build

I hope some of the companies commissioning reproductions of older kits will bring back more road racers like this, instead of just sticking to dragsters and stock cars (short track and non-NASCAR stock cars excepted).

Very cool Luka. I think that would be a fun build. Ron

Oh yea, I remember that one when it first came out. Nice video, really liked how you added pictures of the real car! 👍🙂

The kit came out around 83 it was based off their 83 Camaro Z28. I think the parts are included in the recent reissue of the 83 Camaro from Round2.

Cool kit. Thanks for sharing

I have always regretted not buying that kit. I bought the stock one instead. I have never seen inside of it

Yea there's a kit you'll probably never see re-popped. Nice.

I never had that kit, but I certainly remember seeing it on the shelves and always wanted one. Lol. Great memories. IMSA back in the day was so wild. Like in the 70s when it was referred to as the “International Marijuana Smuggling Association.”

I’ve got it in my stash. It is an odd one

The MPC Celica Supra kit and the Daytona Charger kits also had IMSA style panels. Were they trying to cash in on the Monroe Handler Mustang model car kit?

Got 1 in The Stash, God Bless.

How accurate is the Revell IMSA/SCCA chassis? That would make a cool resin body for the Hot Wheels Camaro kit…

Is it just me, or do the decals on the right-hand side of the sheet look like they were perfect for making an 80's IROC series race car

I too have that Craig Carter Camaro kit, found it at OldModelKits.com at a fair price but I didn't know it was not *that* accurate to the real race car. I do know AMT gives you the option to just make up your own racing team too and I might go that route but I also love that color scheme of dark blue over orangish-yellow as well. How funny would it be if someone were to build and paint that kit right out of the box as Craig Carter's car and take it to an IPMS or NNL contest and see if it even places?! What would the judges and long time car modelers say to that? 🤨😏

I have this kit I was just wondering if you have any suggestions on what to do with a flared wheel wells to make it more correct. Is there any other Camaro out there with the correct flares for this kit. I would use NASCAR tires and I would probably use the 70 GTO super stocker chassis and engine. what do you think

How long have you been collecting the kits?

I remember building that one, it sat up like a 4wd. Nice Minilite wheels, decent detail but lame as a race car.

I have thick skin

I’m sorry, but “I like the box art” is the problem with this hobby. Too many buy the kits because of the boxes and then the manufacturers think that’s what builders want. That era of AMT was directed to 10 year olds who didn’t know better.

Great video. Love looking at the kits in Andy’s big find.
