The Ghost Of General Lee

[Shelbytona]

I just finished this build, and it's a pretty cool kit! The glow in the dark styrene is really neat and glows bright orange in the dark. I couldn't get a good pic of it glowing, but i got one in low light and you can kinda see the glow.

Neato! I was afraid it would glow green. I'll definitely have to pick one up now!

Thanks! Yeah the orange glow is awesome, i think it's definitely worth picking up. Being such a simple kit, it goes together fast! Ive got daisy dukes roadrunner and roscoes cop car to build as well.. i want to get an orange general lee to complete the collection.. maybe daisys jeep and cooters tow truck down the road. (if i can ever find one!)

Here's a link to the buildup, http://www.modelcars...=54576&st=0

Cool build, that's much cooler version than the orange one. Body looks very good to me, and engine detailing is really nice. Stance is also perfect. Now I can't wait for your next build to come.

I was wondering if anyone would post one of these on a model forum! Looks pretty good being the MPC/AMT tooling.

I think it actually looks good in white

Thanks guys for the compliments! Be sure to paint the backside of the body white on this kit, since its almost see thru. And you can wetsand and polish (remove all mold lines and flashing) without effecting the glow in the dark styrene.

Randy, thank you for sharing your great build. You did a lot of interesting things to enhance your build. I like the fact that you used only kit parts. The orange paint and under chassis paint just makes sense. Your suggestion on the white paint and body polishing is a great help also. How is it that the body is correct for the General Lee as opposed to the 500/Daytona MPC used for so long? Again, great work, thanks for sharing.

Your General Lee looks great, Randy! So, is this the same old original General Lee kit that's just been molded in glowing styrene or is it a different tooling?

[Shelbytona]

Thanks guys for the compliments! The latest issue of the general lee is the same old tooling as the original, but they fixed the rear window to the tunnel back (proper style) not the 500 style back window that was wrong with this kit for so long!
