Revell 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Kit Compare and Contents 

Thanks for the kit comparisons always enjoy them.

Awesome video and history of the 69!

Would love to see a video like this for the various Mopar kits

You gave me a taser yesterday. I been waiting on this video. That is a awesome Baldwin build. Thank you for sharing. I just learned a little bit more about Camaros. Have a great weekend Sir.

Excellent look at Revell’s ‘69 Camaro kits. Great history lesson. Great video. Thanks for sharing.

This kit (the blue RS early version), was the first kit that I purchased in the late 90s, when I got back to modelling, that represented the new tooling that Revell had start making with high accuracy. Compared to MPC (or AMT) kits I used to build, this kit was amazing. The high number of parts and the no assembly problem make this kit a good value even today.

I've never owned a Camaro. Never even built kit of it. Still watched the video (which is awesome with all the info). I think the model industry matched the real world in over saturating us with Camaro's! lol

All beautiful builds!!

I'm happy that you mentioned the photo etched parts and resin RS grilles. I bought my kits second hand.

Very cool and informative video Raoul. I am a fan of the first gen Camaros. I have owned a '67 396 SS but by the time I got it, it had been pretty well butchered. I also had a '69, it was a base model with a 350 in it, but it was at least a 4-Speed car so it was fun. I have plans to build a '69 Camaro model one of these days. I like pace cars so that may be my choice to build first. One cool thing about the '67 was that it was a bench seat car, sadly someone had taken it out, but I did get it with the car. The seat had been outside and then stored in a water heater shed so the upholstery was shot, but I had it and it went to the new owners.

What a wealth of knowledge all these comparison videos are. Thanks as always for sharing and now I have 2 additional kits for my wish list.

Thanks for the tour Raoul! Loved all your builds and what you've done so far. As for all the mixing and matching to achieve a correct build of a particular version, I wish Revell would dispense with those ugly 17" custom aftermarket wheels and put instead more accurate parts to build the particular version they advertise on the box art....but then I'm like you more of a purist builder, wanting to get it as close to the real car as possible. Thanks!

An enjoyable video to watch!, i remember Revell in the late 80's doing some great kits: 68/69'Vettes and the 67'Chevelle and the 69'Yenko/Z28,i had just entered the hobby after i stopped collecting comics.I find now when i look at kits i wonder what i can kitbash it with to create something different than everyone else.

Yes. The Yenko, Z-28, and then the Baldwin car. I never realized the grill on the Z-28. This was a Great video!!!! Thanks for sharing

the kit comparison videos are awesome ... really appreciate you making them

Great video Raoul! Revell's '69 Camaro kits are one of my favorites because you can swap the parts from all the different issues and make about sixteen different versions. One idea I have is to turn the 302 engine into a 327 and put it into a base model "69 Camaro.

Interesting the 3 different variations of the 69 Baldwin Motion Camaro kits ..

I just found your channel into a screenshot of your builds cuse these are beautiful like amazing paint work and color schemes on those I have built all 5 of those as well the one from 1990 when they came out was the first model I ever built when I was 8 I was born in 92 my dad had it in his stash and he let me pick one that was gonna be my first build on my own with his assistant when needed and I chose that one and is still got it and it's not terrible for a 8 year old clean build no glue marks or anything just paint was a little rough from age. But man your builds are amazing

Awesome kit comparison! Would be cool if you could order your kit from Revell with the options you want. Anyways we could review your video to get what we want. Thanks for sharing!

What a great review of that incredible series of kits. I think I’ve built six over the years. Unfortunately I’ve only got three of those left now. My most recent is pretty cool though. I used the pace car convertible and a few random parts to build a main streamer version. I used Fireball Modelworks stock ‘69 Camaro wheel covers, and that same AMT flat hood you mentioned. The Nova exhaust and stock engine parts finished it off for me. I really do wish I could find a convertible up top for it though. Thank you for a great video !

I've done 2 69 Camaros ....The Revell 69 Z28RS last summer and the JED LTD 69 SS396 with the metal body last winter...

Great video..might have to pick up that latest issue

This video is much appreciated Raoul, Thank You so very much! This will be very helpful in building my own stash of Camaros' with the proper kits. I have a lot of source material on the real cars, but, this, "THIS IS" the end all source for building!! Really like all of your work thank you for sharing with Us here. Keep up the great work! Later

Those are some tasty builds! Perhaps u can make a drag car with the latest issue of the kit and a ZL1 aluminum motor

Awesome video!! The last '69 I built, was Monogram's 1/24 one (white one #2220 if I remember correctly) back in the late 70's or early 80's....yip, I'm old as dirt! 😉😆😂 Might try to get my dirty mittens on one again, plus the red one (#2230?).... Keep those videos and builds coming! 👍🏻👌🏻👏🏻🥇🏆

The body of the JED LTD 69 SS396 was beautiful and didn't require paint.. but the engine had several oddities like no intake manifold or headers but plug wires ...

I did my Revell 69 Z28RS with the 2x4bbl cross ram setup...

New Subscriber and we hit the bell cool cars and kits, watching NOW👀👍 Cheers 🍺🍺KC Cradle Mountain Tasmania Australia🇦🇺🇦🇺🤝😎👍

Thanks for going to all these amazing lengths to show us exactly what’s in the boxes, reminds me of the features Tim Boyd used to do in Scale Auto. Can’t imagine how much research it all took. Some great builds there too. 👍 Wonder if Revell will ever put everything into one big box?

Really helpful video, my friend, and I really enjoyed it (I always do, always watch/Like/Share, sometimes comment) 😁✌️

The Nova exhaust should drop right in as both the Camaro and Nova share the same chassis. Than you for the video.

In the current world of hold amt & mpc kits reissues, the Revell Camaro is still a real good kit. I never got to buy the ZL-1 but will sure get the newer 396 kit.👍

Ty so much for the nice information,that’s gonna help me a lot to build the right one,tyty

Very nice thanks for posting

Awesome Video!! thanks!!

I'd love to see a comparison of '70 Camaro models. I'm look to build a '73 Camaro RS like my dad used to own.

Those 2-piece headers have been the bane of my building experience with EVERY iteration of this car/kit. They do NOT like to fit with the front suspension

Interesting you didn't mention how the body mold has gotten worn out on these cars and on the passenger side wheel openings, they are missing part of the flare/trim at the bottom of the opening. Revell really needs to make a new mold for this car.

What I'm sad about the convertible version, is that the removed the closed roof top and only kept the open one. Pretty sure it was in the first Monogram ed of the indy version. I know I'm not crazy! I think... Anyway, as I said in your preview vid this week, for me, that's all the same kit, but with certains different trees to make the different versions. And you're really good at research, each time I try to do any, I never find what I want. Also, for the '68 AMT Camaro hood, do you have to do much trim to put it on the Revell '69? One day, I wanna make a base inline 6 Camaro.

Why the B.F. Goodrich decals? I don't know how familiar you are with the "Fast & Furious" movies, but B.F. had a product tie in with at least the 2nd movie in which the LeMans Blue '69 Yenko appeared. Also Year One who makes reproduction parts for muscle cars had a tie-in with the movie and a large "Year One" decal appeared on the back window of the Yenko. A note about the movie car versus a Day 1 Yenko. The movie car actually ran Cragar S/S wheels. For someone wanting to replicate the movie car, you are missing "B.F. Goodrich" white lettering for the tires, and the "Year One" for the rear window. Unless...you buy the flat box Revell of Germany release. This release has the Year One and Goodrich tire decals. As you show in this video, the most recent release of the '69 DOES have Goodrich markings in it. Frustrating. There must be something going on with Revell's U.S. releases versus the imported flat box kits because their 1970 Trans Am has the "Trans Am" markings that have never been included in a U.S. release of that kit. When I built mine, I had to source them from a Fred Cady sheet. I love this video! '69 Camaros are near and dear to my heart. So far I have an Aztec Silver SS Standard Grill convertible and the Hugger Orange ZL-1 in my collection. I actually built the ZL-1 before Revell released that kit. I used R&M of MD resin wheels and Satco Redline tires with everything else from the Yenko kit. There are a lot of RU-vidrs doing model videos, but no one does what you do!

I'm about to modify a 68 flat hood to fit a 69. Which 69 model comes with a flat hood. Thanks

4:06 Is there any way by the box art that you know for sure you will get the kit that has the RS is the grille in it? Thanks.

I'm attempting to build the 1996 '69 Camaro Pace Car (Kit 2459) for a 93 year old friend who owned one, but the 27 year old decals are disintegrating. Do you know of anyone who makes a repro set?

These Kits where available in the 70s

Your ads are two minutes and cannot be skipped, even though it has the skip deal aaaaaaaaahhhh

Very informative, however these are Model kits NOT Replica kits and there's a huge difference between a Model and a Replica. These were never designed for old folk rivet counters, they were designed for Kids to enjoy. I always find it amusing how many people nit pick model kits as if they were designed to be 100% accurate representations when in fact they weren't nor ever stated or claimed to be. Just build em and have fun it really makes a less stressful hobby ;) You can go into great detail easy enough. Folks brand bashing based on stuff they were never supposed to be or have is ridiculous yet funny as Heck to watch.
