NCIS 1971 Dodge Challenger Hemi R/T

[mrmike]

This is my NCIS 1971 Dodge Challenger Hemi R/T painted with Tamiya TS-16 Yellow with a Tamiya TS-29 Semi Gloss Black interior, Hemi and pistol-grip shifter from the Revell '70 Hemi 'Cuda, hood stripe from Keith Marks and rear wing spoiler from my parts box.

Great looking paint and nicely detailed engine.

Looks good! Which kit did you use?

[NOBLNG]

Very nice.?

[happy grumpy]

Always nice to see a Mopar. I never watched the show but I like what you did with the kit. Nice engine bay. This is my favorite year for the challenger, same for the Cuda.

great job all around.

This is the kit that I used, plus I "stole" the hood from a previously built Challenger.

Thank you David, Bill, Greg and Mario.

Nice looking Challenger.  That yellow looks pretty kewl and I always like that HemI engine.

Thank you Bob!  The actual car was IMHO, two different cars.  One had the scripts on the hood and a different shade of yellow compared to the car used in the episode, "Jack-Knife" which had no hood scripts and slightly narrower tires.

Aha! Nice work getting that roof cleaned up, I never would have recognized it if you hadn't told me.

Nice Challenger.  Is this the car the Gibbs used to drive?

Yes, it is!  I call it a 1971 since that is the reference that FBI Special Agent Tobias Fornell used during a stop at a gas station.  It's actually a 1970 Challenger.

I thought it might be.

I used to watch that show.  I always wondered how Gibbs got those boats out of his basement.

nice job

He broke the bottle ?

Another awesome job. I always loved that show. I need one of these in my collection.

Nice!!

[mrmike]

Thank you guys!  The number one question will always be how Gibbs gets his boats out of the basement.

[skmodelcars]

Very nice build!  Think I missed that episode of NCIS....Gibbs getting his boat out of his basement will always be a mystery!

[mrmike]

Thanks Steve!  Gibbs getting his boat out of the basement should be a mystery, but that question was answered in season 19 episode 4.
