Intmd8r Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Built this one as a “slump buster” and box stock (aside from the BMF). This is the Monogram kit released in the early ‘80’s in “Metal Glow Blue”. My experience with Monogram from this era is synonymous with lots of injection pin markings and excessive flash. This kit was no exception and I had low expectations as result. Besides standard prep, the only modification I made was to separate the exhaust pipes from the rear axle. Mopar fans will point out the incorrect parts from the 1:1 and the incomplete decal sheet. I would have liked to see the Superbee decals for the grill and deck lid emblems. I did try to paint the emblem on the grill with a sharpened end of a toothpick. Paint, clear and engine is by Splash Paint, the chassis and interior is a combination of AlcladII, Tamiya and dollar store acrylic paints. I’m happy with the results, despite the inaccuracies. Hope you like. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classicgas Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Rivet counters be darned. No kit is 100% accurate. You did a great job on that kit. Well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard_2_Handle_454 Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Looks great. Good color choice, and I'm not just saying that because I drive a Tor red Challenger. The new kits have the decals for the emblems, btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the heads up on the latest release. Looks like it is still missing the bench seat and steel wheels though. Guess one could look to the aftermarket to build an accurate model.

karbuildr Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Great looking Superbee, well done in a very cool color. I stopped worrying about rivet counters many years ago. It's your build, do it how you like and yours came out excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
