Right now mpc 1966 charger in mint Unbuilt shape. My "holy grail" changes from month to month.

Looking to buy a celica kit, and I'm between these three kits. Anyone ever built any of these? Any input would be appreciated Aoshima 041802 Aoshima 41383 Hasegawa TA22-MQ

Oh deer.

I went out today to my lhs during lunch just to grab this kit before it's gone.

I believe modelhause makes the right insert. The grill is base off the original 1969 kit, and those insert work the best.

Hell all it needed was a detail, I saw the rest of them in person and they'll all need a bit more work.

Resin still aint cheap.

A lot of people were mad when they heard this.

58 belvedere or 57 Chrysler be the best bet if the details are not up to snuff.

Oh man that 59 dodge will be very welcomed in my collection. Curious as to how many Jo-han tooling they have now?

Wow, that crazy. If there was ever a real kit of this that would probably bring about that money.

How many times has that charger been destroyed and then rebuilt again?

68 coronet and 70 charger are two of my most wanted cars. Original mpc ones are just too expensive for the amount of times I want to build them.

Revell did a metal f&f charger that was okay. Mpc is the best example, but as it was stated the tooling is long been modified as the Daytona. Revell has a 70 grill and they have the diecast molds.

I've already got a few examples built. These are just for my hoarding issue.

Here are my personal collection ones, all are complete and Unbuilt.Some are even in sealed bags, like to get the 66/67 eventually.

I knew I forgot a funny car or two...

I have all the years except 66/67 (that's why my knowledge is a bit hazy with those two years. As for 68-74 I have Unbuilt examples in my stash.

It would be nice to see some more original form of the 68-70, but I don't think that's gonna happen. still want the super charger to see the light of day again, I think round2 has the tooling.

For 1971 mpc again tooled up a charger for the third time. The big thing for 71 was the two prepainted bodies in either yellow with black fogging or orange with black fogging and also had different molded interior colors. 71 was 3n1 either stock, custom or "zinger". Kit had two wheel options, two engine version, two different hood scoop options and the super big 3 step wing or blower . Also has three build version for the 440 engine. This version also only has the hideaway grill and not the rt that is found in the later amt issue. For 72 much was unchanged kit was now molded in white, and was a 4n1 stock, custom, drag and zinger.same two wheel options as 71 (rallye or mag) same two hood scoop options. Decals were based on the the rod shop drag team. This kit also features a Christmas tree. 1973 again changes were mild, new grill and tail lights, and light interior modifications. This kit was different that it was only a 2n1 stock or custom wagon. It featured a hatch add on and special front-end and towing rig. Has two wheel options and two engine build options. Decals featured woodgrain side panels, and custom call outs. For 74 the kit changed only a bit one Las time. It was back to a 3n1 stock, drag, and custom, it again had the wagon add on, different front end. Same wheels as the year before and same engine builds as the previous 3 years. Decals featured "hot shot" drag decals and sponsors and custom stripes for wagon version. Around 74 the tooling was modified for the petty charger and was a race only version Also in 74 Mpc released the 67 charger as a street machine only version in "the great Street machines" series. It had most drag parts from the 67 annual kit and had new custom decals to match. In 1981 the "super charger" kit was issued. The 3rd Gen body was restored to make the car a Street machine version only. It was closest to the 74 annual, with different front end. It features one set of wheels, and two way to build the engine. Decals were typical for that time period and featured bold graphics and a name call out. The 67 had been released a few times since the 70s and the tooling should exist still for the super charger. The 69 Daytona and general Lee kit are what's left of the 1968 original tooling. Any other input is welcome, I just glazed over the basic for the early stuff.

I love dodges chargers and mpc set the roots for them,Heres a year by year guide. In just their second year of doing promo style kits Mpc released the brand new 1966 dodge charger. This kit was essentially a 5n1 kit that could be built either stock, drag, nascar, custom, or slot car . the kit was molded in white and features two different exhaust systems,3 wheel options, and he might that could be built two different ways . this was the one and only year for the slot option. Decals features various sponsors and the number 6. For 1967 the charger was only a bit changed and became a 4n1 kit. It still had the same drag and nascar options,the kit now came with a clear hood, and velocity stacks. Decals changed and features more drag options and the number 5. The same year mpc also released the custom only George barris "thunder charger" from the movie "thunder ally" For 68 big changes came to the charger, that meant a new tool was created for the 68 model year. The charger now had a coke bottle body style. This year kit was a 4n1 that could be built stock,custom, drag or nascar. It feature three different wheel choices, custom front and rear end, rear window luvers, clear hood,two different exhaust systems, and two different ways to build the hemis.Decals features nascar, drag and stock rear stripe and a number 6. The same year a funny car only version was sold as a "color me gone" drag racer. Also one more charger was released for 1968, the charger III concept car. This kit was only released in 68 and is a very sought after kit today For 1969 not much change kit wise,kit was still molded in white and was a 4n1. The decals for this year were based on dick landy's drag racer. Strangely the kit featured no mag wheel for the racing version. It still has the clear hood and same custom front and rear end and luvers. Also for 69 the funny car kit was updated and featured decals to do Mr norm funny car. 1970 marked the last year for the 2nd Gen charger body. Again mpc did little updating to the kit, besides grill, rear trim changes and interior changes The car was still a 4n1 kit . it featured either being molded in yellow or white (I've seen both) decals now featured rear stripe,and various sponsors decals and a "22" . Mid 1970 mpc changed up the dies for the Daytona body (which would later go on to be the Dukes of Hazzard "general lee" and charger 500 kit) and featured Bobby Isaac decals and was molded in red.

Double post.

I have like 7 tackle trays filled with parts all organized from carbs all the way to hoods and fenders.

That looks like an awesome job. Kinda jealous you get to mess with cars of that caliber.
