Red and blue are both paint.

Has to be a market. Don't think there's a ton of buyers for full sized cars compared to midsized muscle cars

I have both books Tim, and found them both great reads and very informative. Anyone who buy either book won't be disappointed.

Is it hard to get landy stuff licensed? I have a the slixx decals sheet and it's the only way to build a landy car. They're long out of production though. Here's my 68 landy coronet I made with an original kit a few years back

There's always 3D printing if you want a full size mopar, I've had a 70 fury for a couple years now.

6 months is a very long time between issues. Might want to think about becoming a quarterly magazine.

I cant wait to hear all the "experts" complain about the 72 duster and barracuda. 2 kits that haven't been offered in 50+ years and someone will have something to take issue with.

Great kit for parts, also best 69 for under $100 to build.

Duster is a nice surprise, the coronet 500 seems like it might be a little late with the moebius coronets out now.

Really wish they had the rallye wheels in this kit, glad they improved the decal sheet. I'll definitely pick up several, 1970 is my favorite year.

That daytona has great moroso valve covers.

A bit of a long read but, I figured this be a good post with football starting back up. In 1968 the Cincinnati bengals were a new NLF team and local Cincinnati dodge dealer Tom Kneer was very excited to celebrate his city's new team. So he decided to order 50 of the newly redesigned dodge chargers in a special "bengal orange" Chrysler said they'd throw 50 rump stripes on the cars for free since it was a non standard color and he bought so many. It also featured a special emblem on the fenders. They came with mostly 318s and 383s and couple were R/Ts. These were the only 68' charger ever in orange from the factory that year and only 3 are known to survive today. I've lived in Cincinnati my who life and when I got into cars and found out about these rare chargers I knew I'd have to build one for myself. A few Years ago I built a "Dirty Mary, crazy Larry" charger and needed decals and ordered from Keith Marks. When the decals arrived I was surprised to learn they had the bengals fender decals! I took it as a sign and set about building my own. I used the revell 1969 charger body since it has a vinyl roof. The rest is pretty stock kit build. The paint is a Tamiya PS orange with 2k clear, molotow chrome details. Hubcaps are from a 68 dart. This car has a special place in my heart and turned out gorgeous.

I've got a soft spot for early prostock cars, especially mopars. I've always wanted to build the 1971 motown missle car but just put it off. Finally a buddy sold me a rebuilder one for just the right price and I knew I had my candidate. It's an MPC 1971 annual body, I used a dick landy challenger stripped down interior and the hood. The engine bay/ chassis is from the amt 1970 challenger kit amd the engine is a texas 3D print. Wheels and tires are parts box pieces, wheelie bars and scratch made. The paint is a tamiya yellow and black with slixx decals. Overall very happy with the car and it's turned into one of my favorite builds I've done.

I'll be there and have several cars in the model show.
