I bought one of those a while back, too. I bought one of the 911 Turbos, as well. They are such beautiful kits that enjoyment can be had, just looking at the parts on the trees! I would probably build the 356, first. Mine's exactly the same boxing as yours.

Please do a build thread on it when you get around to it. I would love to see another one of these in the works.?

I built one of Pinto's kits (not this one ) last year. It was pretty well done.

Definitely a high-effort kit. Nice that he supplies PE parts, decals, two sets of all the clear parts, etc.

A few years back, I wouldn't even have attempted anything resin.

His wire wheels are very nice.

Nice! My charger still on pre-order no one has gotten them yet.  Ouch on that canadian dollar though.

KIJIJI strikes two days in a row! LOL  Iwata/NEO CN, sprayout pot and Iwata Ninja compressor all for $125 ($93 US).  The prior owner had left paint in the bowl for ???? long.  Most parts came clean after many ultrasonic cleaner cycles. The paint in the airbrush body was too stubborn. So the removed nozzle and airbrush body are in the prescription bottle which is filled with Medea airbrush cleaner.

Yes, they are. I have one of his Ferrari 166 Barchetta kits.

Only thing I'm not ecstatic about is his non-wire wheels and tires are molded in one piece...which I'll be changing.

Found an original annual of the 1968 MPC Charger, there was also a 1969 annual in the box too along with most, if not all of the parts for both! Looks like they've been partially started on, though most of the parts are still on the sprues, so that's good! Will be interesting to compare them alongside the butchered country Charger!

Just won one of these on eBay. New year's resolution: Stope buying kits and get back to building some.

Any chance of getting a scan of the decals?

I don't know how that works. I would assume I would need a scanner, which I don't have.
