Thats my quandary

 

Im not 100% happy with it as is

But not dissatisfied enough to pull it apart.

 

I bought it with about a half dozen other old MPC pro stock / drag cars builders off ebay about 10-12 years ago. 

He listed a bunch of builtups. And I bought all the Mopars and the Schartman Comet 

 

None are perfect ....most are ......OK 

The SM duster is the worst. The Comet is the best one

Notice the backwards leaning lettering on the Barracuda.  MPC made the lettering for both sides exactly the same, meaning it is wrong for one side.  The Missile project involved a few ex-Ramchargers personnel; like their cars, the Missile lettering should lean forward at the top on both sides!

That kit is unpainted I think( been some time since ive had it in my hands)

 

It really needs redone

The Missle Duster is poorly painted flat black. 

So both will get redone someday...... soon I hope

I have slixx decals for them all. When the time comes

 

 

Apologies for the hijack
