  1. Nice, I like it
  2. 3 guesses what car. 1st two ...don't count.
  3. I've used upohl in the past with excellent results I'm not opposed to that as well
  4. FOUND, Thanks for the post
  5. I know this is a long shot, All I need is the upper pieces and lettering. Dont need the red side panels for the dart
  6. Nope. Silver is a 1967 coronet 440 model Blue cars are 1967 Coronet RT models
  7. Same here...i want it. I sent Chris Walsh a picture of it. So maybe maybe.( fingers crossed ) I have the slixx sheet to do the solid white panel version. But would love to have this version instead .
  8. Which version of the 67 ?
  9. Thanks all. I have decals to do the 64 car. It was a darker grey than the these later cars And I have a slixx sheet ( i think ) that has the decals to do the 67 car does it not?
  10. Many thanks, I have the Coronet on the bench for next up Im Hoping I can use the decal sheet from the Revell 1968 Charger I have here . So we will see how it turns out
  11. I know this is a long shot Anyone have a spare STOCK hood they dont plan to use ? Mine seems to have walked off
  12. Built 100% straight from the box . Its not perfect , But I like it A LOT And not bad for less than 2 weeks start to finish ( its great to be retired ) Tamiya Gloss Aluminum rattle can for the silver. Everything else is kit decals with 3 coats of 1K urethane clear to top if off Duplicolor satin black for the interior Duplicolor Chrysler green engine enamel for the engine Thanks all for following along the build in the WIP section. ps...I guess it wasn't done. Just added the class decals. And better picture of engine compartment
  13. Thanks for the pictures. I will be in LA in May. And the Peterson is on my list to see
  14. I'll have to try the Duplicolor 1k clear next time I'll do a test with the lacquer clear on a few different paints , just for grins
  15. many Thanks, But Yes am south side of Tucson AZ . so yeah,,,Its quite dry here.,,,USUALLY The one on the left the silver is the only color painted. Everything else is kit decals . With about 3 coats of 1k urethane clear on top of it all The one on the right was done several years ago, And its ALL painted except the red roof / hood / decklid stripes But its been done so long I have no idea what I used for the Red sides of the upper body blue colors . Im pretty sure its a Enamel clear as its yellowed a touch compared to the other one. The 68 Charger is an original MPC annual painted up as a Landy car. That one I cheated and bought it done already many years ago My ultimate goal is replicate this magazine photo in scale
  16. Thanks, Its going to be a bit before I start this particular build. SO I have time to see if I can find an original hood. At least the resin version gives me an option
  17. Cool, Thanks for the confirmation I have a grill. Just need to find the hood
  18. Did the MPC 1971 GTX kit actually have the hood shown in the boxart ? If so, and anyone has one, Im interested I see Harts parts has the hood in resin. Anyone used it ? How is the quality ? But I would really prefer plastic if I can find one https://hartspartsresin.com/product/71-gtx-hood/
  19. Did the original issue MPC 1971 RR or GTX have the same air grabber hood as the more recent yellow issue If not, Anyone modified the monogram hood to fit the MPC body ? Monogram hood shown
  20. Pm sent
  21. Im in a FB group where several of the Landy family are involved. One replied saying him and Mike Landy built the car , he asked what I wanted to know . Then never heard back with answers to my questions Ive moved on and Turquoise its going to be
  22. I believe you are right. But its too late now. Im already comminated to use the engine at hand
  23. Wow. Did the GTS trunk panel That was fun.....Ok. Not really.
