Nice review/build, Chris! Those old Monogram kits used to just fall together. No fit issues at all. I built quite a few of them back in the day. I'm also glad to see they kept the dog dish hubs in the kit. I really prefer that look to the Magnum 500's. Cheers!
Beauty build. Dig the car. My buddy had a green one. Glove box "pop" - real deal. And that horn - meep meep. Thanks for another fun build. See ya next time.
I have the 69 GTX molded in "metal flake blue" with lots of extra parts, (rear spoiler and other stuff). Very close to the Road-Runner. Great build and keep up the great work, like your channel.
My favorite road runner. I built a black hemi with cragars. 2000 issue. Love the bench seat in this kit. My dad had a b-5 blue 383 4 speed sport coupe. Nice build
Nice work and I thoroughly enjoyed watching. I plan to retire in two years and my goal is to have fun and enjoy this hobby with the same enthusiasm you present in each one of your videos. Thanks for the great camera work and dialog--I know the planning, video recording and editing is a lot of work--and you never seem tired of doing it. 😀 👍
Thanks for this build always did love that shade of blue. This looks like it's going to be a fun build. Already knew I was gonna want one, 🤔 guess I'll go for another.
Had a friend growing up, one of his cars every time he went to third, he would hit his hand on the ash tray. He cut down the throw to prevent that, and when he test drove it after finishing up, when he went to second, his hand got stuck under the front seat and broke his wrist, Good times.
Three different people have claimed three different ways I 'should' have painted the model. I simply copied the side panel box art of the built up model and it's good enough for me. Thanks
That was great to watch, different from a couple guys I have also watched build. You were fast but clean and accurate the others were very slow and agonised over every part. They ‘knew’ the real thing and grumbled greatly when it didn’t comply. I would guess this car would have been a three (3) evening build maybe more. Now the finished models are always amazing !! Nothing like them! The sort of build that goes to shows wins or podium each time. I am not sure what I want to be, I am a returnee and boy have things changed in 45 years!!! Do you think it’s possible to mix both styles? A quick build but in a decent kit one day and a long slow build another day? I got it (I think) a slow and painstaking build in the cupboard and that allows time and space to build a good but quick kit as well!? Would that work? I’m thinking yes it would. You see I do love woodworking and I am returning to that as well after just as many years. Nothing satisfies me like the wood joining, finishing a piece with all the smells and pleasure it brings and screwing a screw in just the right amount and hear the woods joining together and I can make money with woodworking and not with building a ‘toy’ plane! So I need time, space and money for that as well. What a busy mess I could be!😅 Bob England
I've built this kit many times over the years since new and always like it. I would like to know if any after market company makes muscle car tires? I'm starting to build a 1967 Ford Mustang GT as the Bullitt Mustang that Steve McQueen drove in that movie. Thank You
Very nice built! I have just one small comment, I would have prefered the correct orange color for the engine (as shown on the box) :) My friend got a GTX 70 with this engine 440-6.
If you need 'correct' colors and worrying about stuff like that, this will not be the channel for you. If you like fun, fast, builds done for pure enjoyment of the hobby, this will be a place you'll enjoy. Thanks!
Just finished building this one. Had a lot of fit issues that required sanding. There is no air cleaner, as it wouldn't fit straight. Would love to know how you got yours so I can add it in.
Do you have a collection of already built models in display cases? Have yet to see a video of your awesome collection 😊 I'm working on this exact model right now.
The carbs and top hats are leftovers from the 70 gtx, when they retooled it for the Roadrunner , they left it in, The GTX won't be reissued from what I heard from Revell 15 years ago
Oooh, you are not going to like this, but here it goes. Unibody frames were the same color as the rest of the underside sheet metal (body color). Hey, at least I might be saving you time the next time you do a unibody Mopar!
Just say it's undercoat for the Wisconsin winters... Don't let it get around, but I have actually painted GM and Ferd engine compartments body color at times. Just have fun ,use your imagination and build for yourself
That's only partly correct. If you're going to paint the frame one colour to be correct, you're also going to have to reproduce the body over-spray on the chassis. Build 'em how you like 'em.
They are electroplated with a thin coating of aluminum. It's never been much of a secret, they do the same with the metal looking parts on appliances, etc. Salvinos JR is the only plastic kit company using real chrome to plate their parts, they are even magnetic.
I built this in the early 80s, but it was a Monogram and was a GTX. I kind of stayed away from Monogram/Revell since they were 1/24th and everyone else was 1/25th. Although Monogram, Revell and Lindberg made much nicer and better detailed models imo.
Nice build - still amazed by the non traditional paints you use. I noticed you used future for all the gloss interior parts - why not just use gloss black?? Also you brushed on future on the hood - did you brush on future on the body too or did you airbrush it?
I am in the process of building this kit and used Chris' approach for the seats. Future makes the seats look like actual vinyl vs shiny seats. It's a very nice finish!!
Hey! Pretty cool they re-issue this kit! I built the original release of it (was released in 2000) and this is the second re-issue of it (aka, they released it for the first time in 2000, another one 'round 2012 if I'm correct and this new release). It is a Revell, not a Monogram mold, but I wouldn't be surprised if they used Monogram's GTX as its base, as many parts are interchangeable between the two. Mine is really similar to yours, just with a blue that is a tad bit darker.
How do you get those new revell decals to work? “Cling wrap decals” They’ve drove me nuts on the past few kits I’ve done I really don’t want to mess this one up. I’m used to the old school decals but I grew up building old model kits that my dad has had setting around and other older kits I’ve accumulated but these newer revell decals are something else that’s for sure
It was always kind of puzzling that Monogram chose to include the '70s-'80s slotted police wheels instead of the non-slotted steelies. But the aftermarket did come to the rescue there.
6:36 --- There's only 2 things I don't like about this body: the battery that looks like it sits on top of an elevator shaft and the coolant overflow tank, which is not accurate (at least I don't think it is).
This is an example of the US kit companies using 1/24 scale. All kits should be made in this scale imo. 1/25 is just to small for detailing. Japanese kit companies figured that out long ago.
If you are using testers glue, it's garbage!! I did a 1957 Ford Fairlane flip, pink and white When that car was done it was stunning Then it started to loose it's parts,the fenders Fell off then wheels, what a mess!!! Use gorilla glue all purpose.
![FORD MUSTANG FASTBACK 1/24 REVELL Model car build [Full version]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/j1aRGTfDIaE/mqdefault.jpg)
Nearly finished with mine. This is one of the best assembling kits I've come across in my 1 year of building models.
Love your channel and content! You've given me the confidence and knowledge to start building again after taking most of my adult life off...
Great, keep having fun!
I really dig this kit and your review Chris. Your color choices are spot on!! 👌
Another great build. I love that metallic blue!
Thank you! Cheers!
Built this kit a few years back in Plum Crazy. These older 1/24 scale Monogram kits are perfect for first time or newer glue kit builders.
Gotta love these 60s Mopars! This came out nicely!
Love the old cars man, bring back alot of memories.....like your model building, picked up some tips and tricks....cheers.
i have that car in a deep purple, the wheels you have on there are chromed "cop car" wheels, i added a hemi to mine, beautiful build
Excellent build. Awesome color choices. Wonderful work on the detail. Thanks for sharing.
Man that's a sweet looking Roadrunner Chris! Excellent work as always!

Another beautiful job Chris stay safe and positive keep up the great work
Nicely done! Yes indeed, it looks every part a Road Runner!
I'm delighted watching this sweet roadrunner. A master piece.
Dream car. Honestly i used to want a 1969 charger but now i really want a 70 roadrunner
Wow! The Roadrunner turned out great! Great job Chris, nice build.
Cool, thanks!
I have the 69 GTX molded in "metal flake blue" with lots of extra parts, (rear spoiler and other stuff). Very close to the Road-Runner. Great build and keep up the great work, like your channel.
Looks awesome in blue 👌
Lovely work, Chris! I loved the original Roadrunners and you've made this kit stand out. Super colour!
Great looking car - love the roadrunner.
Looks absolutely awesome as always Chris 👍🏻👍🏻
Love that Revell is bringing these great kits back. Another great build...thanks
nice..love those old Mopars
Great build. Good job choosing the superior color.🤠👍
Glad you like it!
I have the Revell 1969 Dodge 440 Six-Pack, molded in blue-gray. Gorgeous! I can't wait to see what you do with this!
My favorite road runner. I built a black hemi with cragars. 2000 issue. Love the bench seat in this kit. My dad had a b-5 blue 383 4 speed sport coupe. Nice build
Must admit this build is one of your best

awesome box art on this release
Looks awesome Chris.
Nice build. Love the 70 Roadrunner. Cant wait to get one.
Never have I seen such skill with a rattle can,I’m breaking out my Nova kit thanks to your video
Great job Chris!!
As always, another beautiful build and review! Well done 👍🏻
Thanks for this build always did love that shade of blue. This looks like it's going to be a fun build. Already knew I was gonna want one, 🤔 guess I'll go for another.
Love all your builds Chris,never seen a bad looking one. Would you ever do a video showing your display of all your built kits?
Awesome looking job on the Plymouth model
Nice stance Mopar way cool looks great that's the way I build them well done
Beautiful car! Wish I can get em here in the philippines.
Nice! Love your color combo's! My high school shop class car was a plymouth belevedere.
Had a friend growing up, one of his cars every time he went to third, he would hit his hand on the ash tray. He cut down the throw to prevent that, and when he test drove it after finishing up, when he went to second, his hand got stuck under the front seat and broke his wrist, Good times.
~very nice build~
A friend of mine has a blue 6 pack just like this. Cool.
Nice work dude, great old kits those Monogram 1/24s
WOW! So cool.
Thanks a bunch!
Awesome!! 👍👍
Love the kit, but Mopar chassis were silver with body color overspray! 🤣🤣🤣
Three different people have claimed three different ways I 'should' have painted the model.
I simply copied the side panel box art of the built up model and it's good enough for me. Thanks
Another nice build
Looks like your entry to the USACC group build has been completed!

Looks like the owner just picked it up from the restoration shop, look sweet.
It's kinda sad that they went thru the bother to reissue it but didn't add anything like pad printed tires or a hemi option
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😎😎😎😎😎😎😎 KUTBW Chris n God Bless You 🤗🤗 Gary.

I built their 1971 GTX on the channel and it was an awesome kit. Too bad about the 70.
👍👍👍👍
When will these kits be available
Oooh, you are not going to like this, but here it goes. Unibody frames were the same color as the rest of the underside sheet metal (body color). Hey, at least I might be saving you time the next time you do a unibody Mopar!
I simply copied the box art.
I'm not going for show winning cars or to be the expert on factory perfect replicas.
Thanks for the info!
@@hpiguy exactly, build for you and you alone,
Just say it's undercoat for the Wisconsin winters...
Don't let it get around, but I have actually painted GM and Ferd engine compartments body color at times. Just have fun ,use your imagination and build for yourself
That's only partly correct. If you're going to paint the frame one colour to be correct, you're also going to have to reproduce the body over-spray on the chassis.
Build 'em how you like 'em.
@@chucktaylor2772 I painted my real truck with red and white for a candy cane differential it looked 😎
Those are called Dust Trail stripes.
several of you spectators commented on how chris did this beautiful specimen,
it looks perfect,
the rest of you watch graveyard cars too much,
It would be interesting to know how they chrome those plastic parts and try to reproduce the process at home.Nobody has an idea?
They are electroplated with a thin coating of aluminum. It's never been much of a secret, they do the same with the metal looking parts on appliances, etc.
Salvinos JR is the only plastic kit company using real chrome to plate their parts, they are even magnetic.
It's called vacuum metalizing. Lots of info online. The equipment to do this is not cheap.
Did the tires simply push onto the wheel-backs? or was any glue required?
With the solid tires it was a friction fit.
@@hpiguy thx Chris, be well.
I was wondering what type of marker that is that you use and where can you purchase one like that at looks great for thin lines and tight spots 🙂
Depends on which one, can you be more specific? Thanks

2012, and about three years ago, bought that one just before the scam demic shut us all down
How do you get those new revell decals to work? “Cling wrap decals”
They’ve drove me nuts on the past few kits I’ve done I really don’t want to mess this one up.
I’m used to the old school decals but I grew up building old model kits that my dad has had setting around and other older kits I’ve accumulated but these newer revell decals are something else that’s for sure
So what's the new kit coming out that you suggested???
Nice build. I am working on same, though, it will be tamiya lavender.
P.S. CA we still post on your Facebook page?
Yes always, but FB makes it super hard for me to see the 'community' section since they changed how groups are designed.
How do you get your silver Sharpie flow so smooth and evenly? Is it a special type?
Don't press on it. Let it glide over the surface.
It was always kind of puzzling that Monogram chose to include the '70s-'80s slotted police wheels instead of the non-slotted steelies. But the aftermarket did come to the rescue there.
6:36 --- There's only 2 things I don't like about this body: the battery that looks like it sits on top of an elevator shaft and the coolant overflow tank, which is not accurate (at least I don't think it is).
Be careful, I just got bubbles on my roof
Im going for a black vinyl top.
This is an example of the US kit companies using 1/24 scale. All kits should be made in this scale imo. 1/25 is just to small for detailing. Japanese kit companies figured that out long ago.
MOPAR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How much is this kit? I paid $3500 for my copy.
Gosh, not one person calling me insane. What is the world coming to?☹
If you are using testers glue, it's garbage!!
I did a 1957 Ford Fairlane flip, pink and white
When that car was done it was stunning
Then it started to loose it's parts,the fenders
Fell off then wheels, what a mess!!!
Use gorilla glue all purpose.
Looks GREAT
