  1. Yes, you can find a few examples online.
  2. I was excited that they added the C stripes to the kit. I really wanted a color that would show off the stripes. I decided that dark green color from my Dart build would be perfect. The kit is a great build and everything goes together nicely. Bit of a head scratcher; the C stripes are in the decals, but the hood stripes are not. The Charger R/T decal for the rear is also not on the sheet. There is also mention of three different decals being decal 29. The radiator belt decal, part of the wood grain decals for the center console (actually 30 something), and the rear R/T badge (not there) are all marked decal 29 in the instructions.

  3. This is what I wanted when the kit first came out. Glad they finally added the stripes. Not a bad kit. Pretty easy to build, but I did have a lot of trouble with that front end and the stripes. That front end is just a hair too wide for the body; as you can see. The rear can be a little tricky too, but if you get it just right it should slide right into place no problem.

  4. I've been wanting to do one like this for a long time, but always thought I'd have to do a custom paint job on it. I saw another build on a different site and was excited to find out the decals were included in the kit! I got this as a Christmas present from a friend. I couldn't wait to build it. Then, I started to run into problems. First, I really didn't like how the engine was doe, and wanted to do it a bit differently. But, because of how it's set up, you're kind of forced to build it the one way. I also didn't like the rims on it. They just don't look right. I ordered some new ones, but they were just a hair too big for the tires. Grrr! The parts were over molded on some pieces. The decals started to break apart and even dissolve on me. That's why they are slightly uneven and spotty. The edges started to dissolve and some started to break apart on me. It was hard to place them and frustrating for me. The clear part for the windshield also did not want to stay down and I got glue all over it. It kinda looks like bug splatter on a windshield, so at least that kinda worked out. It came out looking alright, but still, I wanted it to look a lot better than this.

  5. Very Nice
  6. Nice, I've been trying to get ahold of one for years. Looks great.
  7. Not on this one. Rear end was a little tricky.
  8. I've been looking for one of these at a good price for quite some time too. I just wanted an example for my collection, but like the Mustang I passed on getting one the first time around and prices got high. I found this one for a steal on eBay as well. It's a really nice kit and very well done. No engine pics because the paint on the hood was chipping off from opening and I didn't feel like touching it up again.

  9. Been looking for one of these at a good price for a long time. I passed on getting one of these when it was first released and the prices just kept climbing on them. I finally found one at a steal on eBay! It's not a bad kit, but I feel like they could have done a bit better.

  13. I got one of these kits a long time ago when it first came out, but screwed up on the rear end. I always thought I could have done better now that I know what I'm doing. So when I found this kit at a good price the other day; I decided to get a new one. The old car was black. So, I decided to do a darker green car. I already have a lot of red cars and I wanted a dark color to show off the stripes and emblems. So I mixed a lot of gloss black in with some standard Testor's green. I also went with a different look for the grill this time around. The result was everything I was hoping for. The car looks amazing!

  14. Beautiful. I really enjoyed the kit. I didn't have any of those issues with the kit I got, but I also got one of the German kits. My only problem was constructing the frame and painting all the detail of the engine bay.
  15. Nice. I wish someone would do one of these kits in a convertible. They look great as convertibles, but I never liked that style of roof for the MOPARS.
