LoudFordPypes Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 was wondering if anyone has bought and built this kit before. Its a R&R resin. I'm looking to make the "blue chevy" from the movie Dirty Mary Crazy Larry to go with my Charger. any thoughts or insight would be great. Thanks R&R resin kit
realgone58 Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 If that's the same kit that a fellow member built and posted in "under glass", it's not proportioned right.
khier Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 (edited) The roof is clearly wrong. It looks like it has been taken from a Ford LTD. Try to convert the two door sedan from MCW to 4 doors: http://www.mcwautomotivefinishes.com/resin/66bis2dr.jpg. The roof is not fully symmetric in the back area but it looks a way better than that R&R hallucination. Moreover, it is a conversion kit designed to fit the Revell Impala parts, which means detailed chassis and engine compartment. It is also of much better casting quality than R&R things. One point though, it is a biscayne not an impala, and no chrome, sadly. As a general rule, do not get R&R unless you have no other alternatives. Edited February 21, 2014 by khier
khier Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 (edited) Well, have to go back to my comment after seeing the real car. The movie car is a sport sedan (4DR HT), while the kit I suggested is a sedan. Perhaps you should order the R&R kit and do a plastic surgery to improve the roof because it is also incorrect for a sport sedan. Edited February 21, 2014 by khier
