usmc_vette1984 Posted Friday at 07:27 PM Posted Friday at 07:27 PM I bought the 1973 Challenger model kit and I must say I’m…disappointed. It doesn’t seem like it’s anywhere near accurate in its detailing, but I digress. I'm looking to build a 1972 Challenger, almost 1:1 to the real one I’m building. That being said, does anyone make a flat hood for the Challenger in 1:24? I’m thinking the 1970 Challenger kit will work as a donor for the chassis and interior, but my real one has a flat standard hood.
Shark Posted Friday at 08:17 PM Posted Friday at 08:17 PM Harts Parts has a lot of Mopar pieces in resin. Very good to deal with. 1
usmc_vette1984 Posted Friday at 11:40 PM Author Posted Friday at 11:40 PM Awesome! They have the parts I can use. same question, different car: 1972 Cuda. Again, think I can get away with using a ‘71 donor, but need the grill, tail, and bumpers.
stavanzer Posted Friday at 11:53 PM Posted Friday at 11:53 PM Which Challenger kit did you buy? It's not the Lindberg Kit, is it?

Shark Posted yesterday at 01:13 AM Posted yesterday at 01:13 AM Just looked at Harts Parts site and he has several Challenger flat hoods for AMT and Revell.
stavanzer Posted yesterday at 01:20 PM Posted yesterday at 01:20 PM Arii. 1970's Japanese Motorized kit. The Body shell may be accurate, but nothing else is. Nothing from Hart's Parts will fit. I'd start out with a different kit. Folks here can give you advice about where to start for a 1972. Good Luck. https://www.scalemates.com/products/img/2/0/4/176204-96-instructions.pdf
Fat Brian Posted 22 hours ago Posted 22 hours ago Since you're using the 1/24 scale Arii kit the Monogram T/A kit is probably your best bet for donor parts. That kit has a flat hood for the custom version but it has a hole cut in it for the tunnel ram intake. You might be able to use the T/A hood to cut a patch panel from. Here's a pic I found of the flat hood.
