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

I know this is a long shot Anyone have a spare STOCK hood they dont plan to use ? Mine seems to have walked off

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

Thanks for the pictures. I will be in LA in May. And the Peterson is on my list to see

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

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

In the home stretch

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

Cool, Thanks for the confirmation I have a grill. Just need to find the hood

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/

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

Pm sent

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

I believe you are right. But its too late now. Im already comminated to use the engine at hand

Wow. Did the GTS trunk panel That was fun.....Ok. Not really.

Well. Decision made. Turquoise it's going to stay Interior is done. I should have this done later this week

Either one I think. Maybe the smaller font size of the 2 The kit Im going to use is the 1/25th MPC kit with a modified Monogram hood if I can get away with it

Very...VERY nice. Excellent build These early Fords are one of my favorites...and I'm diehard mopar I've got a few of these and the 63s on the pile . Someday

Still trying to determine the cars engine color. But....got all the decals on yesterday. Cleared it today. So...I will soon be at the point to just leave it turquoise and move on.

Ok. Thanks I think I'll stick with urethane

Trailer is an old amt / Ertle blueprinter piece I think.? I may have another trailer if you want it. Ramp bed I bought off ebay several years back...that I think is scratch built

Anyone tried this clear

Yes please

I'm close

Unknown I think I got it off Ebay several years ago. My gut tells me its a scratch built piece
