STU111 Posted July 27, 2024 Posted July 27, 2024 G’day Michelle. Another nice build. One of my favourite Aussie cars. Dart body with Aussie designed front sheet metal and grille. Had one back in the 80’s, and my uncle had a VG Pacer 2 door, I love these 2 door Valiants, classic style. It’s probably one reason why the 68-69 Dodge Darts are my favourite US mopar of all.??

lordairgtar Posted July 27, 2024 Posted July 27, 2024 (edited) Really great model. If I may, try getting rub on lettering kits at a craft or hobby shop to do the lettering on the body and plates. All different colors are available. Edited July 27, 2024 by lordairgtar
