Charger 500 Grille

[Mike Chernecki]

Does anyone know of a resin Charger 500 Grille to fit the Revell 1969 Charger? Or a 1968 Coronet Grille that fits? I was going to try the old MPC Charger 500 grille, but after finally opening the kit after all these years, I find it has a normal Charger front grille and not the 500 grille.

My older issue of the Charger 500 (AMT kit #6284) has the correct grill in it. Some one pull a switch or somehow you ended up with the wrong tree. Also my Charger Daytona, AMT kit #6278 has the charger 500 tree in it. As I understand it however that was a fluke and not too many were produced that way before it got changed to the regular grill. I looked at the recent re issue of the Daytona and it has the regular grill in it. I know it don't help your dilemma but it may give you some more options at least as to what kits had that grill. Also, give Modelhaus a try. They might have it in chromed resin. Do not know how ever if it'll fit the Revell charger.

Just my luck, my Charger 500 has the regular grille in it. I just checked the Daytona kit and it also has the regular grille in it also. I may check Modelhaus.

Has anyone ever tried fitting the original 1968 Coronet grille in the Charger?
