mrdadbry123890 Posted September 9, 2013 Posted September 9, 2013 Hey all I'm trying to build a car like the one from the movie series Fast and Furious (The one Dom Toretto drove) A '70 Dodge Charger R/T with a blower on the engine if any one could suggest a good way to make this car come to life I'll be very grateful anyway just post a reply or pm me thanks.
CJ1971 Posted September 9, 2013 Posted September 9, 2013 There is no current 70 Charger kit available, that is correct. Hasn't been kitted since the early 70s by MPC. The amt Fast/Furious kit is actually a 69 charger with parts from the General Lee kit with a badly attempted 70 grill. Best way to replicate would be getting a resin body/parts from Modelhaus, runs about $70us? & using the Revell 69 or 68 Charger kit for a donor chassis etc
mrdadbry123890 Posted September 9, 2013 Author Posted September 9, 2013 ahhh I see, thanks for the input any suggestions for a classic muscle car similar to that car? mabey a 2n1 or 3n1 please advise?
CJ1971 Posted September 9, 2013 Posted September 9, 2013 The Revell 68 or 69 Charger are both fantastic kits. Plenty of detail & quite accurate. They're both the same gen' B-Body Charger as the 70, so I'd go with either of those. Cliff
Yahshu Posted September 14, 2013 Posted September 14, 2013 Missing Ling has a very nice 70 Charger conversion that you use the 68/9 RM kit as a donor. The ML conversion supplies the hood & body with corrected front guards & valance & chrome grill with Charger & Charger R/T grill insert. Corrected rear taillight panel with chrome Charger & Charger R/T taillights with red resin lenses. R/T Door scoops . Corrected interior door panels, rear seat & front buckets. The rest comes from previous mentioned RM kits. Bit expensive though if you only want to use it fro the F&F Charger.

Here's one of Missing Link's kits so you can see what's included: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1970-Charger-Missing-Link-resin-kit-plus-donor-kit-/141066769496?pt=Model_Kit_US&hash=item20d83c1458
