yellowsportwagon Posted July 14, 2020 Has anyone built this kit? Before spending a lot in one is it any good? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gramps46 Posted July 14, 2020 Tim, Which Chaparral 2D kit are you asking about? The Monogram is the most common and is pretty simple to build. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No the Fugimi or Modelers one I like the air snorkel and rear spoiler better. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aurfalien Posted November 8, 2020 (edited) I've built both the Monogram and Fujimi kits, they are simple (slot kit-ish) and turn out cool. Either will give you quick satisfaction However I preferred the Monogram body shape. I'd suggest picking up a set of aftermarket tires/wheels for either kit from here; https://www.modelbuilderswh.com/collections/wheels-tires/products/chapparel-wheels-and-tires-1-24th-scale The decal sheets will probably be wasted however I don't have a source for em. These kits offer a lot in terms of adding detail etc... all up to your desire and imagination. Here's one of mine, sadly it burned in a fire; https://imgbox.com/g/KBaYB2Kn0i Edited November 8, 2020 by aurfalien Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Junkman Posted November 21, 2020 And here's a source for some alternative decals https://www.starfighter-decals.com/2406-texas-roadrunners-2d-66amp67-sebring24062666767.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
935k3 Posted November 22, 2020 I built the Moddlers kit. It had metal parts for the mirrors, gas caps, taillights and headlights. They polished up well and needed no paint. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
