I have a couple of resin Hemi grilles floating around in my grille box, so I know that replacements are available. *NM*

Doesn't the Hemi version have the single headlight grille? In my opinion, the kit grille has a decided grin to it that shouldn't be there, in other words the ends kinda curl up

Anyone thinking of getting the AMT (Polar lights) 1965 Dodge Coronet 500 Hardtop – Street Hemi or Drag Hemi model kit? I have to admit, the decals alone are pretty cool. *NM*
Also, it mentions on the box top "Featuring previously unreleased engine parts!" What parts are those? *NM*
The Hemi cylinder heads and related parts. All previous issues have the wedge engine *NM*
Wedge parts were pretty cool, too - are they still in the box or is that gate shut off?
Not sure. I've got as many '65 Coronets as I "need" (these and original MPC) so I'll be passing on this one *NM*
Looking at the parts layout pic that our hosts have posted above I think the Wedge parts are there still. tho' I maybe wrong....lol. *NM*
Then imma dig a little deeper... didn't see those. Thanks for the tip *NM*
The sprue beside the exhaust system has what maybe the wedge heads & the chrome sprue directly below the exhaust system may have the thin wedge valve covers...or I'm completely wrong......lol. *NM*
Resolution was a touch soft, but that was my impression as well - thanks to all for the tips
I sure hope they re-tooled the grille to include clear headlight lenses instead of the molded on chrome ones. *NM*
I don't think they did. Anyone confirm or refute this? *NM*
Won't happen unless the tooling gets damaged. Too much cost to add a handful of potential sales *NM*
Put a few coates of Tamiya flat clear over them..It makes a big difference.. *NM*
Didn't look like it to me. As Mark said, this was simply opening gates in the tool that were already there. But I will bet the 3D universe comes up with a 'universal' Coronet grille... or...
I have seen 3D print grilles that fit the Moebius kits (which don't really need replacements) *NM*
Interesting, will have to keep an eye peeled for them - good tip
At least one of the Moebius kits has both grilles. But the hood trim is separate, and they include only one of that piece *NM*

I agree *NM*

I fitted an annual kit grille to one, but then again I did a bunch of other work to that body on top of that *NM*
