MPC Soapy Sales Challenger Funny car ......

[Dragline]

Got two of these a couple of weeks back and the decal for the decklid is now included.  

 

As soon as I finish my Cushman Duster I'm going to tackle a fairly detailed build right here.

Now we know why the MPC 1970-1974 Challenger will never come back.

.bas. ..totally agree .most true model car people find fault somewhere in most kits.....the catch is to forget it, fix it if possible, but better yet, enjoy the fact you have it at all.......I find the older I get, the less faults I look for in kits......I save that fault energy for people...lol...the ace....

absolutely...totally agree

Would be better if the whole kit was molded in white.

The thing with these old funny car kits. I bet more than 3/4's of the racers back then the  chassis  was black.

This is one example I have no problem with most of the parts molded in black ( that's how the original issue was ). The important parts ( the body and interior tins ) are molded in white.

I'm SO glad to have this one back on the shelf ,,,especially now that it has the decals to do the decklid . I already  have quite a few of the MK issues, and plan to get maybe a case of these here soon .

Simple answer, Its not .

Body is all wrong to the actual car, especially the roof line . The windshield was raked back pretty good compared to stock,,,as well as  the leading edge of the roof was a good bit lower than stock.  I think the chassis is  reasonably accurate to the 1/1 ,,but probably not 100% dead on

This is where the annual 1972-1974Challenger disappeared to
