Chris White Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 (edited) I build this one a while ago, but wasn't completely happy with its outcome. The rear quarter windows didn't fit right, and the wheels, actually look to big. I liked the concept, not the execution. Love to see your feedback . Edited October 14, 2013 by Chris White
o-man Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 I'm not sure they are too big, but the front track appears wider than the rear. Makes the front wheels look huge. Nice engine choice and like the color too!
Erik Smith Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 That's pretty cool. The engine looks great in there. The wheels and tires are too big, IMHO - the front tires would have no room to manuever in the wheel wells and don't look quite right. I agree with Oscar, too, the front track is too wide as well.
Ramfins59 Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 Chris, that looks really cool. Nice looking engine. Great job.
rv1963 Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 I also think the front track is a bit wide, the engine looks very good. I like the chassis and the contrast of the red components against the silver, I think the center section of the chassis should also be silver. A little buffing of the paint and she will look great.
Harry P. Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 The wheels and tires are too big, IMHO - the front tires would have no room to manuever in the wheel wells... Exactly. When you put cartoonishly large wheels and tires on a model it screams "model" or "toy" and not "realistic scale replica," especially when, as Erik pointed out, the tires have no room to either steer or allow suspension travel.
slantasaurus Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 The wheels/tires are a little large for the car. That said, the front track on a Duster IS considerably wider than the rear track on these cars. If you look at a completely stock Duster notice how far the rear tires sit inside the wheelwells. Chrysler engineers would have liked to have used a wider rearend on the Duster but the accountants wouldn't go for it so they had to use a standard A body rear.

I like it, Especially the blacked out Sharktooth grille, Don't see too many people do that. Nick
Guest Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 Nice. The bad points have already been hashed over.
Danno Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 Did anyone mention the wheels/tires and front track? Otherwise not bad.
slusher Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 Very sharp build Chris, love the detail and killer engine. l like it...
PappyD340 Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 NICE build Chris, color is great and nice touch on the engine, me likes it too!!
Helix Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 Looks good Chris, I would have tubbed and dropped it to give a more aggressive stance because the wheels do suit it....!
Chris White Posted October 16, 2013 Author Posted October 16, 2013 thanks to everyone for your comments
TFchronos Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 Very, very nice Duster, love the colors and overall look of it, very awesome!
Pat Minarick Posted October 21, 2013 Posted October 21, 2013 Chris ,I like it ! The wheel opening seem small to me it is hard to get a wheel that fits this kit .
Dandydan Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 Just finished one of these too and I agree about the quarter windows-what a pain. Love your engine choice-looks great in there!
Chris White Posted October 24, 2013 Author Posted October 24, 2013 and here I was afraid to post this one, thanks guys. I think you are all way to kind !!!!
