Jon Haigwood Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 What would be the best kit of the newer Chargers to make into a 2 door?Thanks
fseva Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 What would be the best kit of the newer Chargers to make into a 2 door? Huh? What Charger isn't already a 2-door?

Anything 2006 or newer Wow - am I feeling stupid... I never realized there is a second door back there! So, I take it you want to eliminate the back door and make it a... hatchback, perhaps?

No I want to make it into what a real Charger should be, a 2 door sport roof. A hatch back would have a (wait for it).....................................hatch

I could only find kits by Revell for anything newer than 2006...

Jon Haigwood Posted August 6, 2015 Author Posted August 6, 2015 Does the Lindberg have a metal body ?
fseva Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 Does the Lindberg have a metal body ?I'm pretty sure only Testors made them with metal bodies...
Mike Kucaba Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 LINDBERG makes a 1/24 plastic kit of the Charger SRT8REVELL makes a 1/25 plastic kit of the Charger SRT8You would have to fill in the door lines of the rear door and re-scribe the back line of the front door. 2 door cars usually have longer doors than 4 door cars.

This I know but which kit is better ?
Mike Kucaba Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 I've only started the Lindberg one. Very finicky chassis (IMHO). Nice body.The Revell kit has the scissor doors. I haven't opened it so can't comment. It does look like a 2 door though, Can't see any door lines for the rear door on the box art.

carsntrucks4you Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 The easised way is to build a 2dr. Charger is to use the resin body from Scaleproductions
fseva Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 The easised way is to build a 2dr. Charger is to use the resin body from ScaleproductionsYes, they're beautiful! Now, all John would have to do is determine a price and see if they'd ship to the USA... I could not find that at their website (the 2 languages that are supported other than German are UK/English/Euros and Dutch)...
Jon Haigwood Posted August 7, 2015 Author Posted August 7, 2015 The easised way is to build a 2dr. Charger is to use the resin body from ScaleproductionsThat would be easier but at $42.75 plus shipping puts it out of my price range. Would rather do it myself and work on my building skills
