Looks good! Thank you for painting the silver around the inside of the bumper and the red on the rear as that is often overlooked.

Very nice! What's user the hood, hemi?

[Modellpularn]

You're really cranking them out, or.....? Never seen the red around the trim out back before, not even in features in car mags.

[Jon Cole]

Yup! Good job, Felix!

Hi Hans,

the 1970 Dodge Coronet Super Bee does come with the red trimming on the back. Here's a picture of the actual car. Allot of people that restore them forget that the rear should have red trimming so that's why you don't seem them. But for those that properly restore the Coronet Super Bee, you will find that they have done the red trimming.

Oh, great! I have the older release from this kit, it looks pretty good kit, I think. Was there any problems with building this kit? It looks nice, colour choice is perfect and the paintjob looks good on it. Decals are nicely in place. Nice tire texts, but it would be cool to see some engine, interior and chassis pictures also.

That Bee is awesome! Some underhood and chassis pics please!

a second thing that is often overlooked is the panel between/below the headlights that should be body colour

but since it is part of the chrome bumper a lot of people over look that when painting the model

in fact (just to show your not the only one) if you were to look at the box art of the 71 pro street superbees you will see that even the modelers who build the model model overlooked it

really, thats the only thing i can complain about

that and the fect your building it the same colour as im building my RC version

(body is from the same kit)

LOL... I didn't forget, I just didn't bother LOL. I had to build this kit for a club Contest and didn't have the time. So I decided to skip painting the front bumper as it should of been.

You had time for the thin red trim around the back, and the silver trim around the grille openings, but no time to paint the area between the front bumpers???

Come on...

I know... after I did those details, I put the model aside for a few weeks (work got in the way). Then I was in a rush to finish it off. Yeah, first thing that I should of done was paint the front bumper before any of the other parts. I just didn't think of that. Live and learn I guess.

You did a really nice job on that Super Bee as I just love Mopar B bodied cars.

Looks good, Felix! B-body Mopars are way cool! Color is great, too!

The color insert on the bumper was an option on the '70 Coronet/Super Bees. It was applied as a body-colored applique. Nice build of a very cool car.
