Revell '70 Challengers?

[Jantrix]

One kit, the T/A is listed as 1/24 and the second, the 2in1 is listed as 1/25 scale.

Whats the deal, two different kits, one old Monogram 1/24 and the other a Revell 1/25 kit?

Or is there some misprinting going on?

The 1/25 kit is die-cast based, while the 1/24 kit is the original Monogram kit. They are two disticntly different kits, and totally unrelated. See here for the 1/25 scale kit review: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=17859&hl=challenger#entry193815

Exactlly. The Monogram 1/24 kit is actually better proportioned than the Revell 1/25 kit. The 1/25 kit has a slab sided flat look to it and IIRC, is based on a die cast mold.

Thanks guys. I was just curious as I have the 1/25 six pack 340 coming in a trade.

IIRC, the engine in the 1/25th kit is pretty bad--the kit was a 2n1 with T/A and R/T versions with the same block supposed to be a 340 and a 440..

Rob as long as the distributor is in the back and the valve covers have the correct bolt pattern I'll be okay.
