karbuildr Posted July 30 Posted July 30 This has been a Mopar summer for me this year. This is a very nice kit and this build was actually completed in May of this year. Once the kit was released with the blue bumblebee stripes, I just had to have one in that color combo. After body prep and 2 light coats of Tamiya white primer, I sprayed the body with Tamiya TS-54 Metallic Blue. That color is not an exact match but pretty darn close to Mopar B5 Blue. TS-13 clear was applied then polished. The interior was sprayed with Tamiya TS-26 Pure White. I really had no issues with the kit and I'd recommend it. 21
STU111 Posted July 30 Posted July 30 Beautifully done Super Bee, nicely detailed interior. Lots to like about this one. 👍🏻
AMT68 Posted July 31 Posted July 31 Excellent work and sharp looking color combination. I picked up this kit earlier this year and good to know it's a stress free build.

DJMar Posted August 1 Posted August 1 Oh I'm digging this! Great color combo for this car. Super clean, and really good looking build.
espo Posted August 1 Posted August 1 Great engine compartment detailing. Like the lighter shade of blue Bee Stripes. Clean looking white interior.
gtx6970 Posted August 1 Posted August 1 (edited) Looks good. I've built a few of this kit over the years. Recently did one earlier this year I went with orange ext and white interior Plus I have one that's on and off the bench. I'm converting to a Coronet RT convertible They go together really well and make for a nice shelf piece. Edited Saturday at 04:21 PM by gtx6970

And they're great for parts if you catch one on sale somewhere.
