Dodge Ramcharger

[Hmann68]

Hope everyone is doing good! I’ve had this kit in the stash for a long time so I figured it’s time. I love these Ramchargers from that era. I think they were great looking trucks! In the late 80’s, my neighbor down the street bought one just like this and it was MINT. So I did this one as I remembered it. Tamiya Mica red and Tamiya pure white. Tamiya dull red was used in the interior, with flocking. Plug wires under the hood. BMF trim. I used a vintage set of Monogram Goodyear’s for the raised white letters. Thanks for looking! ?

Good job on a Ramcharger. My first real car was a 76 Ram. One detail missing under the hood is the resister on the fire wall that always went bad, I carried a spare in the glove box. Every time I see one I can still hear the 'singing' starter.

Thanks so much guys! It was fun. Yep I can hear that starter too! My grandad bought a new 79 power wagon 150. And yes, I used to keep a spare resistor in my 70 Road runner back in the 90’s lol ?

Beautiful looking finishes and the chrome trim is nice and cleanly done. Not a kit often seen and that's too bad since this looks great.

Thanks espo, it’s not a detailed kit of course, but still looks good in the end I agree! ?

Very nice looking build.  I think I have one in my stash, may have to dig it out.  Just for kicks, what size motor does that represent?

Thanks! I do believe it’s a 360. Looks a tad big for a 318. ??

Me three!   The first thing you checked when the Valiant wouldn't start!   And yea, I always got a kick out of TV shows where sound effects would use a Chrysler starter on another make.

You did a nice job on that Ramcharger.

I have one I did a while ago to practice a two tone,  a simple kit that does look nice when done!
