Captain Spaulding Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 Decided yesterday to get started on my next build, wanted a simple easy kit. After looking through my stash decided on MPC'S 1974 Plymouth Road Runner. Got the body in primer yesterday and some paint on it today. Going with Hemi Orange for the color, not sure about the interior yet in between black or tan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That might not look to bad. 14 hours ago, drodg said: White with white stripes After googling it white interior might be the way to go, already got white stripes in the kit supplied decals I'm planning on adding to the body Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLHCAHZ Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 A Friend of mine had a '73 'Cuda that was Hemi Orange with a white interior, Looked great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David G. Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 It's nice to knock together a "box shaker" from time to time. Looks like you're off to a solid start. David G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Spaulding Posted May 14, 2022 Author Share Posted May 14, 2022 Got some more work done past few days, engine painted and assembled and chassis painted. Pretty bare bones kit so didn't take long to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam I Am Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Nice to see one of these being built. I helped a friend build his 1:1, and have collected the stuff to replicate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Spaulding Posted May 17, 2022 Author Share Posted May 17, 2022 Got the interior painted and assembled, came out decent. Found myself a brown sharpie which makes detailing woodwork much easier. Not much left on this one, just a little more assembly then can call it finished.

flamepainter Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 This is coming along quite nicely. I really like the interior details and under chassis details. The body color is spot on and should look really good with the white interior. Excited to see the finished product. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
