Picked this kit up the other day to build :think: (not sure why I picked up one when I got 6 cars in my stash) :scratch:: while I wait for paint to show up to move ahead on my other builds..
Its a 1968 Dodge Dart 2 in 1 kit from revell. Think i'm going to build the drag one.

What comes inside the box.

The Body

Image
Sprue shots

Image
Chrome parts and nice chrome
Image
Clear parts and the red tail lights.. The clear is not very good its like someone haul sandpaper across them.. have to see what I can do with them if anything..
Image
And the Tires.. I wish they find a better way to make tires..

I've had this kit in my hand several times but keep telling myself to finish what I have first.

Love the old MOPARs

the stance looks way cool and the mod for the fenders really makes it sit right, well done mate.
