Thank you Deen, Moulin Rouge is a perfect color on an old Mopar!
Great work. You did an amazing job; especially, with the details. I really like what you did with the kit. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for watching Michael. I really appreciate your continued support.
Beautiful Roadrunner! Happy you did the pink on it! 💟 Flawless work James!!
Thanks SoDak, I really appreciate your support!
@@ScaleModelExperiment beautiful model.whats the name of that paint.
The paint color is called Panther Pink for Dodge or Moulin Rouge for Plymouth. I bought it from VRM model paints. I used a 2k urethane clear on the body and polished it like crazy.
Great job. 👍 I love the detailed work and effort put into this build. Makes me like Mopars more now. Thank you for also explaining how you accomplished the overall great looks of this model.
My pleasure! Thanks for watching👍

very nice build James!
Thank you Sean. I appreciate your support.
Great job! The color is spot on!
Thanks for watching Johnny, I appreciate your kind words!
Awesome build James. Thanks you for each of the tips you gave in this series. Little things like the exhaust modification I would have never thought about but now it’s always in my back pocket.
Absolutely glad to help out. Thanks so much for watching and supporting the channel!
Beautiful build James! I love your box stock builds, it shows how nice you can make them. Thanks for the video 😎👍
Thank you! So many people say box stock like it is a cop-out but I see it as a true challenge for perfection. I appreciate you watching!
Отличная работа, коллега подскажи что это за цвет и кто производит эту краску?
Really cool reveal James! You took what was in the box and showed the true potential of the kit!
“Perfect!” as the Street Fighter announcer said! That color is a stunner too! 😎👍🏾
Also, a very well shot and edited video…I dig the visuals too. 👌🏾😃
Thank you so much Kissy Boy! I watched your newscast video yesterday. Loved the imagination and creativity. I'll watch more from your channel in the future.
@@ScaleModelExperiment I appreciate it James! We have fun over here! Thanks for sharing your tips on this kit too btw! It definitely helped me with my GTX! 😎👍🏾🎸🎶
😍Good looking Roadrunner James!!👍
Thank you so much Tim! I hope to see you at some upcoming shows in the area. We can collaborate! I appreciate your support bud.
Absolutely beautiful,will wait for the next 40% off sale gotta love hobby lobby, but I had this model in my hand !!! but decided on the 85 Oldsmobile 442/ FE3, and the color is awesome, I think they called that color panther pink, only very few made it through before Chrysler said ohh no we ain’t building pink muslecars. The color was pulled soon after, but just know that is a very rare color,beautiful job!! model on….
Thank you Glenn, I appreciate your kind words and support 👍
Great job. You've inspired me to build this kit. Just came in from Ebay. Now to ponder a color. Thanks. Keep up the amazing work.
Thanks so much for watching Jeff, good luck with your build.👍
The things you did to improve this kit are incredible! HOW did you cut the exhaust from the axel? I'm glad you explained the door handles. I wondered about that, too, because I want to do that on the 64 Galaxie XL I'm currently building. Love your videos!!! Thank you for them.
Thanks for watching Kenny, I separated the exhaust from the axle with a set of nippers and then carved the exhaust to shape with a hobby knife then lots of sanding to make it all smooth. Good luck with your 64 Galaxie. It’s a cool car.
Very nice job James. I'm subscribed to Mark Batson's channel as well.
I really like the difference in y'all's two builds! Thanks for the inspiration...
Thank you so much for checking out my build. I appreciate your support 👍
I just purchased a newer version of the Revell 1970 Road Runner (box art image is yellow).
Could you give me the brand and color of the paint you used for the body of your build here?
I think I will build mine in this color. It's more accurate than the build I did fifty years ago with Testors, and brushed on. Thnx.
For my build, I used a lacquer paint from VRM Vintage Racing Miniatures named Panther Pink. I doubt that you can buy the paint online so I suggest you get it from Model Car World MCW instead. Thanks for watching and good luck with your build.
James! This is an excellent vídeo! Its very thorough covering everything of this build! Fantastic build of this simplistic Monogram kit made better by you! I don't think it can be made any better than you did it being box stock! You probably don't like pink cars but this is a perfect excuse to do one here, a perfect mopar model done in Panther Pink, its a winner!!👍🏁🏆
Thank you so much Ray! I really wanted to make this 💩kit into something cool. I’m glad that you liked it 👍
I just did this kit in Sublime Green with a tan interior, wood wheel & shifter, and matte black hood. The wheels are Sublime Green with chrome dishes, 440/6 pack and chrome was done with a Molotow pen. Very nice build.
Sounds awesome Kenny! Thanks for watching 👍
Just bought this same exact kit from my local Hobby Lobby store. Will be painting the body with a color shifting metallic blue/purple enamel.
Sounds cool Antonio. Enjoy the build👍
Wow! I'd have to hire someone. I could never pull that off myself. Not that I could afford to hire someone. You, Sir, are an artist!
Thank you Mark👍
Great Video!!! Fantastic Work James!!! Beautiful Build!!!! Great pointer. Thanks for sharing
Thank you Mike! You are too kind my friend👍. As you probably guessed Bryan made the pointer guy for me. Thanks for watching bud😁
James I have really enjoyed following along with your build! Lots of detail and tips along the way! Beautiful my friend!
Thank you so much Fred, I appreciate your kind words and glad that you found value in my videos. Thanks again Bud!
Awesome looking build James, love the color and all the tips you gave in the video, great job. Rick 😎✌️
Thanks so much Rick, I am glad that you got some value from my previous videos. I love helping others. I appreciate you watching and supporting the channel.
Love it! So well done! That paint is gorgeous! Your "assistant" stole the video. Two things: the body color door tops are a detail I missed when building mine. And 2nd: did you reposition the front bumper? I recall a recommendation to do that to improve to fidelity to the 1:1. The reason being the designed attachment points put the bumper lower than it appears on the 1:1.
Thanks Jason, the upper door panels in body color was an option so I went with it. For the front bumper I simply made it level which it didn’t want to sit - it wanted to angle downward. Bryan and BG model worlds made the pointer for me👍 thanks for watching bud.
Enjoyed the video and what a great looking build. Love the colors and all the little mods to make this a box stock standout!
Model on!

Thank you so much Pat, I appreciate your kind words and support of the channel👍
A friend of mine had the GTX 440 six-pack version in high school his folks were well off . I half to say the fastest I have ever been in an automobile. We were too young and stupid to be worried about pegging the speedo if I remember right it was 140. Nice build.😊
That’s crazy! We all had someone looking out for us back then. I did my share of stupid things with cars in my youth too. Take care and thanks again for watching.
Sweet build....love the color choices... thanks for sharing 👍
No Robin, thank YOU for watching and supporting the channel. I really appreciate it.
Excellent job. I really like how the video shows you putting it together and than at the end you explain what you did. Thank you.
Thanks for watching Derek, I’m always trying to make the most useful videos I can. I appreciate your support and leaving a comment.
Turned out sweet James! Nice color, the white interior fits well, overall clean looking build, great video!
Thank you so much Kreg, I hope to see you at the Detroit show in a couple weeks. I want to pick your brain about those MCW paints you have been using! Thanks for watching and supporting the channel.
I'm new to the channel and I got to say. That is a beautiful build. I look forward to seeing more build's from you. 😄👍
Welcome to the channel Dan! I really appreciate you watching and supporting the channel. I have some good stuff coming, buckle your seatbelt!
Super nice build.. One of my favorites of this group build.
Thanks so much for watching Randy!
I love the colors and I love the interior! That is the shiniest shining body I've ever seen! How did you do that, if I may ask?

Have you've ever built or try to build a hyper realistic model car? You should try it my kits take me about a month to build and that's spending about two to three hours a day detailing it. I should have a channel with my model kits beside the actual car and see if you can spot my model car from the real car!
Hi Toe, I used to build very detailed cars with wiring and plumbing. I got burned out with doing them. I prefer clean box stock models now.
I saw your kit today at the Buckeye Classic in Hilliard, OH. Great job on it!
Thanks Jim👍 I brought 5 today. All have been on the channel over the past few years. Thanks for watching.
Cool build! Like that pointer. ☺️ Sweet color choice to and I like that you painted on the hood stipes!
Thank you Bryan, I really appreciate you making that lil' SME for me. I like the direction that you went with your model as well. it is the dark cousin of mine :)
I was thinking about getting into model car building with my son. With the size of my fingers and all them little piece ill stick with working on the real thing lol
Thanks for watching James, I encourage you to build models with your son. Take care 👍
Perfect is right! I would add stunning to that. Awesome work!
Thank you so much Tecdblduce, I really appreciate you watching and supporting the channel. Thanks again!
Nice build,but why so many builders cant get their headlamps straight?Putting every lens in a different angle!😂
Thanks Will, yes they have to all follow the same pattern. Call me OCD.. 😂 thanks for watching 👍
Super nice!
thanks so much Red, I really appreciate your support!
Nice build and the door handle and exhaust modifications are awesome.
Thanks Neil, those little touches are things that are easily missed but when you really look at the model you’ll say “damn!!!” I appreciate you watching 👍
Awesome build! I love the details and how you did them! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for watching DMG, I appreciate your kind words and support 👍
Beautiful build. “Perfect”?…. Eh. 🤔
Thanks Redd, no model is really perfect but… it’s a good one 🤪. Thanks for watching 👍
James totally awesome front to back top to bottom. Outstanding
Thanks Butch, I appreciate you man!
That's is absolutely beautiful James! Well done mate.
Thank you so much Gary, I appreciate you watching!
Another awesome build James!! Love the color too!
Hey Marty, you knew that I had to go factory correct with my Mopar build. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel!
Love the colors, the interior is awesome ( not a big fan of white, but it works ), looks great
Thanks Robert, black interiors can be so dark so I needed something bright for this car. I appreciate you watching 👍
The pink turned out amazing!
Thanks so much Mark! I truly appreciate you watching and dropping a comment👍
@@ScaleModelExperiment I will be back to check out more. I am busy working on the not so fun full sized projects, but nothing cool and muscle car. I need to make time to getting back to these.
@unclemarksdiyauto I appreciate your support Mark!
James where are your pants?😝😝😝😝
What?
@@ScaleModelExperiment you’re pointer dude has no pants or anything else, that made me laugh 😳😝🫡🇺🇸
Oh, whew I thought maybe you saw something you shouldn’t have!
@@ScaleModelExperiment 😝🫡
Very clean build looks amazing the under side is as nice as can be.
Thank you so much Horton for watching and supporting the channel 👍
That came out beautiful! It's the shiniest finish of them all.
Thank you so much Alan, I appreciate your kind words and support of the channel.
Great job, great color, nice little adds with the under hood decals.
Thanks so much Slow Ride! I appreciate your support 👍
Y'all All did a great job on the 70 Plymouths
Thanks for watching bud 👍
Awsome build, I have a few of these kits
Thanks Mike, I’ve had this kit for a long time but never was interested in building it before the group build. I appreciate you watching and commenting 👍
Absolutely stunning! Well done 👍🏻
Thank you so much for watching 👍
Motor detail is Awesome!
Thank you Larry, this was 100% box stock. I challenged myself to not add any parts from other kits and just work with what was there. I appreciate you watching and leaving me a comment👍
Best one I’ve seen so far! The that Panther Pink!
Thanks Ruckus, there were a lot of great builds in this group. I appreciate your support 👍
Love the pink gtx I just finished a pink altered wheelbase 1970 charger.
Thanks for watching Dart Dr. do you have pictures of the Charger online?
@@ScaleModelExperiment I have the 1st half of the build on my Channel. Part 2 later this week.
I’ll have to check it out
Beautiful color man, came out awesome😊
Thank you so much Marcos! I appreciate your support 👍
Very cool! Great work on this build!
Thank you so much Todd! I appreciate you watching and supporting the channel.
Man that is nice, beautiful color
Thank you so much Papa! I appreciate you watching! 👍
great build and even a great color for it
Thank you so much Dracfink! I appreciate your support!
Beautiful build, brother. 🤟🤠👍
Hey Model Cars, thanks for watching brother!
Beautiful! Well done Sir.
Thank you so much for watching Chris👍 I appreciate your support!
Great build , very clean !
Thanks Leonard, I appreciate the support👍
Gorgeous build. Not my favorite color for a bird but the paint is through the top. Nice job. I'm sure you pre fitted every one of those parts for it to go together that nicely.
Thank you for watching 👍 yes I mocked up and modified every piece before final assembly. I tried to document all of the changes in the 4 videos I made.
@@ScaleModelExperiment Nice. I'm an old timer but still modeling. I almost bought a new 70 Roadrunner when I got out of the Navy. It was yellow with black vinyl top and hood stripes. I passed because of the color and wound up buying a Honda motorcycle instead. Still kicking myself over that Roadrunner.
Hahaha, I hear ya. I was a sailor too. I almost bought a 71 Mustang in 89. But bought an 85 firebird instead.
Wow she looks amazing
Thank you so much Travis for your continued support bud👍
Outstanding, James!
Thanks so much Rob! I appreciate you man!
Love the color very cool car 🤘on
Thanks Neal, I appreciate you watching and commenting 👍
Very clean build!
Thanks so much Dave!
That's awesome James, looks so cool with the colours you've chosen for it. Enjoyable video too, was great seeing you assemble piece by piece. Well done ☺️👍🏼
Thanks Karl, it’s a factory color believe it or not. It came out nice with all of the little touches I added but remained box stock. I appreciate the support bud 👍
Great build! what glue do you use that works so fast?
Hi Thomas, most times I use Tamiya Extra thin cement in the green bottle just touch it to the edge you want glued hold it there for a second and then press down for a second. I use it on painted parts as well. Thanks for watching!
@@ScaleModelExperiment Oh thanks for the tip and reply will try that thanks
Clean build, I love it. Thanks for sharing James. It's cool how you show all the parts finished & laid out, then assemble...great job.
Thank you so much, it has become my style of video to show the painted parts and assemble them. It’s unique to the other TH-camrs.
That is beautiful, James!
Thank you so much bud, I appreciate the support👍
Outstanding job James!! Great color, very smooth!! Love all the extras!!!
Thank you so much Mark, I appreciate you picking this model even though I may have griped about it at first. I am happy with how it came out in the end. I thank you sir for watching and supporting the channel.
Great work lovely colour too!
Thank you so much TC! I appreciate your support 👍
Would love to see how you got that Paint or Mix On Moulin Rouge I have 3 real Mopars and many Mopar Models one which I’d like to do in that color 1970 Dodge Charger,please help
Hi Mike, you can get Moulin Rouge from Model Car World in enamel or maybe even lacquer. I used an older bottle from VRM that I bought at a show.
@@ScaleModelExperiment
Thanks prefer Laquer It flows real nice,it’s why I love Tamiya paint
I will try to find some
@@ScaleModelExperiment
I,m guessing you know that’s a 1970 only color
Thanks again
@@mikeroberts5646 right! I’m kind of a mopar snob and have been going to the Mopar Nationals for 25 years. I’ve seen my share of cars painted in Moulin Rouge that weren’t 1970. Some look ok, most don’t.
I agree, lacquer is best. I have found though that you can thin acrylics and enamels with lacquer thinner to help them dry faster.
Came out great
Thank you Steve! It was cool to see you Saturday. I assume you’ll be at Detroit Sunday?
