Mike C. Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 I built this one a while back. Good to see it back. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motor City Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 I was hoping for a 1/25th scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a modified-reissue which is based upon the old Monogram 1970 Plymouth GTX, which explains the 1/24 scale. I was hoping that the intake and carburetors from the 1971 GTX -the 1995 modified reissue- would've found their way into this reissue... But, at least we have Fireball to fill that void (the kit's parts are blobs). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike C. Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 I was hoping this re-issue would have a choice of the Rallye road wheels. I'm probably going to go back and correct a bunch of stuff about mine, starting with the wheels, maybe some white lettering on the tires, correct orange valve covers and that classic Mopar overspray on the undercarriage. I hope I still have those mirrors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keef Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 It builds up nice, I’ll probably buy 2 or 3. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motor City Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 I was hoping for an all-new kit like the '71 442. My buddy and I went to his younger brother's house a few days ago and saw his '70 Road Runner, which I hadn't seen in over twenty years. After 3 blown engines, he's almost ready to put the latest and greatest engine in it. 🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drodg Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 I noticed that the kit built on the box does not have Roadrunner decals on the front fender. I wonder if there is a Warner Brothers license agreement issue. Thanks for Keith Marks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat Brian Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 Build video from Chris is up, the side stripe decals are better than the box top shows and better than in the previous orange car on the box release. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobguar Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 I'm currently working on this kit, as it does have some issues, the most glaring is the space between the front bumper and the grille. To remedy this, drill holes just above the bumper mounting tab's holes, which will bring the bumper closer to the grille. This makes a big difference in the appearance of the front end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mangodart Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 It was quite a good kit when it first been one production in th beginning of the 80ies, now it's a bit dated but still can be built into nice replica, here are my different version of this kit :) 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
