justanothermopar Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 As I had the camera still ready I just took another Mopar out of the shelve, cleaned it from the dust and made some pictures. As far as I remember it was out of the box except the hood and the wheels. Well, I guess the kit is known to be not one of the best. Anyway, to complete the b-body collection it turns out quite OK. Color is model master dark bronze out of the spray can. Very nice color which gives nice impressions under different lights (can see at the last two pictures). 4
Classicgas Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 Quite nice. I built this kit as well, but used the chassis and drive train from AMT's 68-69 Roadrunner kits.
Modlbldr Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 Very nice work. That color suits it well. I used that color on a 67 GTX. I like it. Later-
bill lanfear Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 One of the best 500's I have seen! Nice work!
Brutalform Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 (edited) Very nice Charger. I agree that the color is indeed very nice. Do you remember if it was the AMT, or the MPC kit? Im not even sure if either kit was a reissue, but I’d like to build one, and was wondering which was the better kit. Edited February 10, 2019 by Brutalform
Cardz Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 That looks great...dog dishes looks perfect on it!
Snake45 Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 Very nice! Good color for this car. Well done and model on!
shoopdog Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 Extremely well done! I have a 74 Roadrunner on the bench that I too used the same color.
mod3l Lover Posted February 11, 2019 Posted February 11, 2019 Yeah, that is real nice!! Well done, and what a cool old build!!! (Survivors) David S.
Hmann68 Posted February 11, 2019 Posted February 11, 2019 I always liked that color, did a Dart in it. It looks super on the Charger! Clean build!

I little strange kit as the box is showing wheels and air cleaner which were not part of the kit. With taking below photo I also just recognized that the number plate of the car is stating "69 GTX".
justanothermopar Posted February 11, 2019 Author Posted February 11, 2019 Hi everyone. Thanks a lot for your compliments. As already mentioned that kit is a bit strange one and even more funny it was when they used the same for the Dukes of Hazard. But the race version parts including some engine upgrades and a cool tire/wheel combo is a nice extra which I partly already used for the Superbee I just finished. Anyhow, I also like how it turned out and it makes a good part of the collection. Cheers....

The box art car had the entire chassis, engine and engine compartment from the 69 GTX! Notice the front sway bar! Just like you stated it had none of those parts in it and the Daytona hood instead of the correct 69 hood. The hood issue has been that way since the 80s. The last issue I know of that had the correct hood was molded in yellow from the 80's
Brutalform Posted February 12, 2019 Posted February 12, 2019 (edited) Thanks....Does anyone have any info on the MPC version of this car? Edited February 12, 2019 by Brutalform
Sport Suburban Posted February 12, 2019 Posted February 12, 2019 They are the same kit and same tool in different boxes. Only difference is my old one has the correct hood.

spencer1984 Posted February 13, 2019 Posted February 13, 2019 Nice clean work on a tough kit, it looks great in that color
69_500 Posted May 1, 2023 Posted May 1, 2023 (edited) I own a T5 copper bronze metalic Charger 500. It's a hemi automatic car, with tan interior and a black tail stripe. Identical to the one you built. Always love running across builds that mimic real cars. Edited May 1, 2023 by 69_500 mistake
