jjsipes Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 (edited) After watching the Mecum Indy 2019 Auction, I had a thought come back in my head and went digging for an old partial buildup. Threw it in the stripper and got to cutting. Not sure how well this will go but, here I go. Gonna be a long process due to time for modeling and having too many projects.

Trendsetta68 Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Me and my son were at the auction and the one that caught our eyes was the green Duster. The paint job on it was awesome ! Good luck on your project, great start ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1972coronet Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Oddly ( or not ) MPC's 1972 Road Runner annual kit's customising parts are eerily similar to the 1971 RTS Road Runner ( BTW , what-ever happened to the custom parts from that 1972-only issue ? ) : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hood and nose are different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trendsetta68 Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Here are a few shots of the Duster that I took at Indy's past Mecum this spring ..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1972coronet Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 I've always loved the Duster ( either iteration ; both are 1970 models ) and the 1970 Road Runner RTS cars . For 1971 the only all-new RTS car was the redesigned 1971 Road Runner (albeit , 383-powered vs. the 1970 Hemi) . Have fun replicating that RTS Duster !
