Got this in the mail toda and I p=lab on using the Testors Color Shift Purple Fog paint on it. I’ve never use that paint before. You have to say an black base coat on. But do you still primer the body before the base coat?

@ModlbldrLooks like a Modelhaus bed. Parts in bag seem to have small rectangular label, Carol usually wrote out year etc on it. 
Nice find. No more from them ?. Miss those guys.

Not sure if it is. I didn't see any labels on anything like other Modelhaus items I have. However, it is very nice and Modelhaus quality. I'd love to know, if anybody is certain.

I may pair this with a resin Dodge extra cab I have.

Look forward to this build. You have become quite the Charger building expert lately.  

Yep, I might have built one or two, lol! My plan with these is a basic straight out the box build with no modifications.

Curtis, we have very similar likes. Enjoy seeing your fairly frequent scores. I’m at other end of collection, but it reminds me of the hunt. Fun times. ???

I went on Amazon and typed 1/25 parking garage in the search,  a couple of different styles are available.

I cannot find any with 3 parking spots and the hand railing.

Do you have a link you could cut and paste here?

I went back to Amazon to find a link, unfortunately, it is listed as no longer available ( had to check my purchase history to find it again as it didn’t show up in the search of how I originally found it), maybe try eBay?

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!

Yes. I decided to prime first Carl. Better safe than sorry.

if you want to put an engine in the sierra, the escort engine bay from uscp is correct for these (with a small extension to the sides possibly) too. The escort cossie was just a rebodied sierra

I just cleared out the local motor factors of filler primer, the guy in the shop said he had more through the back so i bought it all too, along with a selection of other paints and primers. Turns out they cant sell more than 20 colours at a time or the anti grafitti rules freeze the till. Still i should have enough primer to keep me going for a while

Yup,the 71'olds is $60.00 here.

Hope that's at least after taxes, Curtis. My local shop here in Fredericton has it for 46.50 + tax.

New kit Friday?

I wondered a long time why either a late model Challenger or Charger would come out.  Will be very interested in seeing one built.

USCP is supposed to be working on a drop fit engine/engine bay for this right now.
