nice work

thank you

i built and painted this a month or 2 ago but had to have the decals for it and couple other cars made just got the decals for it the other day i wish the side r/t stripes and the trunk dodge stripe showed up better though this is a replica of a dodge polara from argentina it has a 318 small block v8 which was the type of v8 avialible in south america i painted the body with i think testors extreme lacquer star spangled blue or deja blue i can not remember which it was sorry for the dust i did not even knotice it untill looking at the pictures before upload

i like the round 2 simple chassies with a few parts and seperate interior pans and metal axles they are more sturdier then round 2's plastic pegs i tend to look at the parts list on the back now befor i buy new round 2 car kits to see how the chassis and interior is the only 2 reasons why i have bought these 71 dusters is cause i wanted to build and add two to my plymouth shelve and cause the vintage ones or promos are to expensive and i bough another two to buld two other cars not dusters but i moded the one with a 75/76 dart chassis and interior pan or i used the ones from a 80 volare with the 71 duster front seats and dash and the recent one i am working on that caused me to make this post which is going to be a mexican 71 valiant superbee

ok so the original version had the same type of one piece chassis and seperate interior pan then why did they just not use the same chassis instead and just make a new body and new interior pan and clear parts which i would assume would be cheaper and easier to make then the overly complicated redesigned full kit which i would assume would cost alot more alot harder to make

yeah it is like they did not even test build it or were not told about that by who even built the first version of it that would be used on the box art before amt/ertl released it was this kit like this in the original 1971 mpc release or did it have the one piece chassie and seperate interior tub like most mpc models did back then and a few still do have

nice work

nice super bee

it bowed when you joined the other half together and i broke the one from the amt/ertl 71 street machine duster trying to un bow it after i glued it together thats why when i was putting together the curree=nt issue of the 71 duster 340 i tested it first and it bowed again so i sanded and trimed a little bit down on both sides but did not remove to much it was just enough to make it fit without bowing but the suspension amrs did not fit the pre made slots for them as for the dash it was to wide for the side panels and bowed were it fits in it's slots i made it fit by sanding down the sides i have built one of the current issueed ones before and i did not have the issues i had with these two except for the side widows did not fit in with the interior

nice work

i have encountered these problem with two different issues of the 71 duster kit s the current round 2 amt 71 duster 340 and the older amt/ertl 71 duster street machine kit the dash seems to be to wide for the interior side panels and the rear axel/drive train bows when you glue the two halves together and the suspension bars do not fit right once you trim and sand the one half down so it fits the other half without bowing also on just the current issue amt 71 duster 340 kit the engine front plate fan and fan belt do not fit right with the radiator i do wish the 71 duster has the same type of interior pan and chassis as the round 2 mpc 80 volare kit and the 75 and 76 dart sport kits have
