Yeah, it does suck that they don't have better ordering options. They are quite pricey on eBay, and the actual site doesn't even have pricing unless you sign up as a customer. But, they are small in scale when it comes to production, so they have to charge a premium to make some money.

Since the DDA kits came out I've been wanting to pick this one up. I'm not one to be into 4-door cars, but this one has kinda grown on me. Plus, it's a very notable car in automotive history; so I wanted it for the collection. The kit itself is very much like the Torana kit. It comes with a nice collector's box, tools, screws, rubber wires, and decals. The only downside in my mind is the lack of plated parts. The kit builds quite easily and has a really great instruction manual. A lot of the kit is snap-tite almost, but there's still quite a lot of gluing. Some super glue is also recommended for the wiring. The hood, like on all shaker hoods, has some fit issues and didn't want to be even on one side. Ended up having to glue it down. Also had a little trouble with the chin spoiler. It didn't want to sit on one side or the other. Ended up super gluing it down. One weird thing was the window slats being put inside the car. I ignored that and placed them on the outside. On a funny note, I accidentally tossed the wipers in the trash and had to dig one out. The other mysteriously appeared on my bathroom floor later that evening. Over all though, great kit.

They actually come with the kit which surprised me too.

Beautiful. I wouldn't mind getting another one of these myself.

Beautiful. This was always one of my favorite models in my collection. They did an amazing job in making this kit.

Great work. Some of your best.

Reminds me of the trucks in Fallout

Yes, you can find a few examples online.

I was excited that they added the C stripes to the kit. I really wanted a color that would show off the stripes. I decided that dark green color from my Dart build would be perfect. The kit is a great build and everything goes together nicely. Bit of a head scratcher; the C stripes are in the decals, but the hood stripes are not. The Charger R/T decal for the rear is also not on the sheet. There is also mention of three different decals being decal 29. The radiator belt decal, part of the wood grain decals for the center console (actually 30 something), and the rear R/T badge (not there) are all marked decal 29 in the instructions.

This is what I wanted when the kit first came out. Glad they finally added the stripes. Not a bad kit. Pretty easy to build, but I did have a lot of trouble with that front end and the stripes. That front end is just a hair too wide for the body; as you can see. The rear can be a little tricky too, but if you get it just right it should slide right into place no problem.

I've been wanting to do one like this for a long time, but always thought I'd have to do a custom paint job on it. I saw another build on a different site and was excited to find out the decals were included in the kit! I got this as a Christmas present from a friend. I couldn't wait to build it. Then, I started to run into problems. First, I really didn't like how the engine was doe, and wanted to do it a bit differently. But, because of how it's set up, you're kind of forced to build it the one way. I also didn't like the rims on it. They just don't look right. I ordered some new ones, but they were just a hair too big for the tires. Grrr! The parts were over molded on some pieces. The decals started to break apart and even dissolve on me. That's why they are slightly uneven and spotty. The edges started to dissolve and some started to break apart on me. It was hard to place them and frustrating for me. The clear part for the windshield also did not want to stay down and I got glue all over it. It kinda looks like bug splatter on a windshield, so at least that kinda worked out. It came out looking alright, but still, I wanted it to look a lot better than this.

Looks great

Very Nice

Looks great. Nice color choice.

Nice, I've been trying to get ahold of one for years. Looks great.

Very Cool

Beautiful. And, I thought my green one looked good.

Not on this one. Rear end was a little tricky.

Nice

I've been looking for one of these at a good price for quite some time too. I just wanted an example for my collection, but like the Mustang I passed on getting one the first time around and prices got high. I found this one for a steal on eBay as well. It's a really nice kit and very well done. No engine pics because the paint on the hood was chipping off from opening and I didn't feel like touching it up again.
