Posted ImagePosted ImageGot a couple more MPC '71 GTXs (brings my total up to a dozen) along with some other neat buildups  including an original 68 Charger annual, Dart wheelstander, and a Firebird.  Also picked up a '73 Vette coupe to fill a hole in the "collection"- thought I was only missing a '61 now but just realized I'm also missing the MPC '74 coupe

Lest we forget MB5 (1976) ...


As a former owner of a few examples, forgetting '76 through the end of the "old" Chrysler Corporation might just be all right

Some issues of the AMT '63 (I think all of them come with the rear glass for the hardtop)- I've also got '64 and '65 annuals with hardtops

What year B5?  That paint coding system started in '69 as "EB5"- which is a bit lighter than "GB5" which replaced it for '71 and is probably closer  to the Testors sapphire.  GB5 was replaced in '74 with KB5 Lucerne Blue which was a little less "intense" and a little lighter again

The Testors enamel seems to change quite a bit based on primer or basecoat

Also seems to be a good selection of blues in rattle cans in Duplicolor touch up paint

The AMT tires seem to scale out to more like a G60 - actual L60s were the big tires you saw hanging out of the wheelwells on 10 inch wheels in the 70s- not sure why they didn't just print a different size now that they've done away with the raised letters
