1972coronet Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 I can hardly wait for the up-coming reissue of the MPC 1975-1976 Dart Sport and the backdated MPC 1971 Demon 340 from Round2 !! I would love to see some of my fellow forum members' builds of these gems ; the more the better ! Also , please describe in detail what modifications you've performed (kitbashing , etc.) , how old your build is (e.g. , built back in 1971 or 1976 , or whatever) , and what --if any-- resources you've employed for your build(s) (factory brochures , photos of originals / modifieds , etc.). Have a great week everyone !
kalbert Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 I'm pretty excited about this too! Any Duster conversions out there?
TurboKitty Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 I am counting the days until the Demon is released, I will be buying several for sure!
Drake69 Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 (edited) This was my resin Demon from Model Resin and the AMT Duster kit... And this is the Duster 340 from AMT... I didn't have the proper decals for the Demon so I fudged a bit and used older decals from the old Dodge Challenger kit. Not too bad I guess. Edited March 11, 2013 by Drake69
1972coronet Posted March 11, 2013 Author Posted March 11, 2013 I like the R/T decals on that Demon , Allen ! Reminds me of something one would see in Brasil or Mexico ( and , believe me , I mean that in the most complimentery way ! It looks great !). The wheels on your Duster look righteous ! Love its interior , too ! Keep up the great work ! Let's see some more builds , guys
realgone58 Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 I haven't built my Duster kit yet because I'd like to find a base Valiant Duster grille. It's different than the 340 shark gill deal. Can't wait for the Demon kit!! Here's a promo '75 Dart Sport in Yellow Blaze that I did a painted roof section on, and used the correct hubcaps from Missing Link.
1972coronet Posted March 12, 2013 Author Posted March 12, 2013 Alan , I love your '75 Sport ! I've seen it before , and I never get tired of seeing it ! I , too , have a promo Sport : a 1975 , also in Y1 Blaze Yellow ! Bought it back in '91 at a swap meet for five dollars . It's in perfect condition ; however , its original box was gone when I bought the promo (no big deal to me !). I still have to buy a set or two of those gorgeous 1972-1976 Dodge W11 Deluxe Wheel Covers from Missing Link !

I sure do recommend those wheel covers, they are casted and plated beautifully, and had no problem fitting into some old Firestone Supreme white walls. There's only so many A bodies in a collection that can wear Rallies!!
