1969 Dodge Coronet R/T, 10/17, So Close I Can Taste It!!
gtx6970 replied to StevenGuthmiller's topic in WIP: Model Cars
Ok, 1st - the gauges- the long rectangular one is standard and was avail in either a 120 or 150 MPH configuration., the 2nd one ( round one ) was the optional rally gauges on a 69 Dodge. Both are correct . I think in a Coronet RT, with the standard gauge panel it only went to 120 mph and only the round gauge set went to 150 . On the long style it could be had with either a clock or a tach mounted to the far right of the gauge set ( not both at the same time ) The Rallye set could be had with a clock / tach combination in the far left round gauge pod 2nd - the steering wheel , standard was the top one shown . It was avail in multiple colors to coordinate with the interior color ( horn pad included ) , the bottom was the optional woodgrain wheel with the stainless spokes and color coordinated center horn pad 3rd - Head rests were optional on all models but became standard / required equipment on Jan 1st 1969 due to a federal safety change mandate. ( hardtop versus convertible had no bearing on if you got them or not ) Also, ck the center dash pad below the radio. I believe the MPC dash is only correct for an A/C car ( which is the only piece in the kit to represent an air car ) I ckd my 68 Coronet builtup and that's whats in it . So i only assume the 69 kit is the same While I was there,,I pulled an AMT 68 Roadrunner / 69 GTX out and both have the 68 style dash ( but non air ) Also ckd the Johan Roadrunner / Superbird dash and its a correct 69 non air dash -

Steve, WOW, I've said it before but you are the master on the interiors of these old kits -
Agreed, on both accounts. No way would I close it up for good

I believe the rear bumper guards ( aka fangs ) are standard on a 1970 Charger. Fronts were optional

Bitchin rides and Chasing Classic Cars. The rest are to much drama or scripted for me -

Go outside the box. Use the RT emblems from the Revell 68-69 Charger and make it a stripe delete. -
IF. there is in fact a stock version coming. I hope they tool the RT door scoops separately

Scale finishes paint sale
gtx6970 replied to Sport Suburban's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
I'm well aware WHY they're called a base coat . Some of the builds i have planned are non metallic and I prefer to NOT clear them if I can get away with it. ( again,,,personal preference ) If all I had planned was metallic colors ( I clear them all ) this sale would be a good, but as it stands I'll just have my paints mixed locally. -

All they list is either a base ( you HAVE to clear it ) or is enamel. I didn't see anything listed as lacquer ( personal preference ) -

All the revell charger kits have the 69 style marker ligjts molded in. When i did my 68 Dart (before the 68 came out) I used small aluminum tubing inserted in the body -

The final one is F6 Spring green which was a mid year introduction and is a very in your face green . Its slightly different color than the 99 code Plymouth version of the same year -
