MPC 1971 Dodge Demon

[karbuildr]

This was finished back in June this year but not photographed until just recently. It's the newly cloned and released kit and it's very nice. No flash, everything fits well, no major issues during assembly. The decals can be a bit of an issue but more on that shortly. I also built one in red that I haven't photographed yet. This kit is miles better than the original. I highly recommend this kit. I did have an issue with the decals. They're very nicely printed and accurate but I would advise you not to use any decal setting solutions. The long body side stripes are fiddly and using Micro Sol and Micro Set made things worse. In fact, those solutions ruined my first attempt and thankfully, I had a second set from the red car. Use plain water liberally and you'll be fine. It's painted Tamiya TS-10 French Blue which is very close to Mopar #B2 Light Blue for this particular year. Cleared with TS-13 and polished.

I know it's a Demon but in those colours it looks more like an Angel, absolutely stunning. Really well done David.
