AMT Pro Street 1970 Dodge Coronet Super Bee

Well, here's another one completed. Like so many others, it was started a few decades ago. I'm not thrilled with how the Tamiya pearl yellow paint turned out and it's my fault. I should have used white primer, but none was available and I was impatient to wait for it to ship. I used the weird one off DOHC Hemi that never went beyond testing as well. Barely fits and I took liberties with the induction by using a 426 Hemi dual four barrel system. The rest is right out of the box. All the chrome had become splotchy on the parts. I ordered a sprue of bumpers off of eBay for replacements, and painted the rest. That's about it. Thanks for looking!

Top job on finally completing this one Tim. A real treat to look at and captures all the meanness that a Pro Street Super Bee should have!

Super nice job on the bee.  Great color choice and that Hemi looks right at home.

It's nice to see a pro street with an unmolested hood. Paint looks good as does the interior. Well done Tim.

Cheers, 

David. 😎👍
