C stripe Charger

[Hard_2_Handle_454]

I was excited that they added the C stripes to the kit.  I really wanted a color that would show off the stripes.  I decided that dark green color from my Dart build would be perfect.  The kit is a great build and everything goes together nicely.  Bit of a head scratcher; the C stripes are in the decals, but the hood stripes are not.  The Charger R/T decal for the rear is also not on the sheet.  There is also mention of three different decals being decal 29.  The radiator belt decal, part of the wood grain decals for the center console (actually 30 something), and the rear R/T badge (not there) are all marked decal 29 in the instructions.

Very well done Charger. Looks good in green, thanks for the heads up about the decals, that is very odd.

What an iconic car, you did it justice. Revell did a really good job on the 68-69-70 charger. The C stripe adds a nice contrast to the green. Love it.

Nice looking Charger.  You can really see what they called it a Coke Bottle shape.

Very nice.   The green looks great on it!

Nicely done, neat and clean.

Good looking Charger. 👍🏻 Just a question regarding the c stripe, was that another factory option? I’ve seen the bumblebee tail stripe, but not this one. Again, nice work.

Yes, you can find a few examples online.

Nice work.

Very clean build. That green definitely looks like an authentic 70's color.

Great paint color and finish. You're right about it showing off the C Stripe. Dodge had so many variables with body trim at that time it is hard to figure out what is or isn't what it is supposed to be.

The Charger looks great!

Ahh, love a Charger, especially in green, my favorite color. 💯😎

Great looking Charger there Eric, the confusing instructions and lack of the full decal options usually stems from a lack of communication between departments within the company. For example I recently unboxed my 1:72 Airfix P51d Mustang and to my amazement the lower wing span was molded on one side for the P51d but the other side was molded for an earlier variant.
