my80malibu Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 Interested in a different Chassis for my monogram 70 Roadrunner with better detail in 1/24 scale
tubbs Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 not much to pick from in 1/24. good question, but I am afraid there may be no answer.
1972coronet Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 Probably the best improvement that you can make is to : - Separate the exhaust from the (Dana 60) axle , and ; - Separate the "downpipes" from the exhaust manifolds and glue their ends to the exhaust pipes . Even though you didn't inquire about the engine ; here's a suggestion : dump those "blobs" that are trying to pass as representations of the Holley 2300's , and replace them with the carbs from either the 1971 GTX , or the carbs from the AMT 1971 Duster 340 .
MrObsessive Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 Seems to me if you want to do some "stretching and shaping", one could use the chassis out of the Round 2 reissued '68 Roadrunner, and '70 Super Bee. Or perhaps the '68-9 Revell Dodge Charger kits. Now true these are 1/25 scale, but you can't beat the detail these have to offer. Just my 2¢.
Casey Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 What about the 69 Superbee? It's very similar to the 1/24 GTX kit's chassis. Ditto for the other Monogram 1/24 musclecars, such as the '70 Superbird, '70 Challenger T/A, '70 Chevelle/Malibu SS, '78 T/A, etc. For a better starting point, start with a 1/25 scale JO-HAN '70 Roadrunner body, and the AMT '68-'70 B-bodies' chassis, suspension, and engine, or use some of the Revell 1/25 '68-9 Charger parts.
