I bought one yesterday for 5 bucks. Going off from what you said, I must have the original one from 1970s since it has the smooth slicks. Still in box and everything, but box is pretty beat up. Gonna see if I can build it. Thanks for the video!
I never really liked the shape of the '71-'73 Charger,I used to think it was bloated and clumsy looking compared to the '68-'70 but it's really grown on me and this car can be made to look mean and intimidating.✌👍
Graham, It's a pretty neat kit but it has it's quirks. Looks good on the shelf! PS, please subscribe if you haven't already to help us reach more modelers! -Doug
Definitely a '70's street freak! I wish the rear tires didn't stick out so far. Still a very nice build. I like the wrapped headers. It's so cool how you can put added detail into these large scale kits.
Hey Doug I hope you had a great and happy Thanksgiving! I have this kit built and built it to closely resemble my real 1974 charger still have to scratch make the S.E. Opera windows since my real one is a S.E version in jade metallic green. The front fender flares on the model are inaccurate for a stock charger or even the NASCAR version.... Love the video! Since I have five more of these charger kits some as NASCAR's they are a great kit man I wish they would put this model on the list to update the mold to be more accurate that would be awesome!
I had one of these as a kid and have been looking for it for years. Forgot it was MPC, thought Revell or Monogram. Now to get one and build it again. Found a few around but not cheap bu any means

CJ, You can glue the axle pins in the frame receivers and the wheels are free to rotate or you can glue the assembly together to keep them in place! PS, please subscribe if you haven't already to help us reach more modelers! -Doug
@@RightOnReplicas I was not trying to be rude just thought it was funny that the kit is trying to be a full Mopar drag car with a Mopar motor and used a Chevy gm small block firing order lol just thought that was funny but nice build man imma have to find this kit I have a few builds in this scale now and even a 1/5 scale big red rod I been working on for last year now on and off. It's huge and don't know where I'm gonna display it at yet and can't find a display case box for it either lol
@@RightOnReplicas Well, Nascar is not NHRA and who knows, as you said, what the heck some track or division required. I have found some pics of red tanks in current Nascars, but nothing about them being "required". An odd kit.
Awesome work as always.
Cool kit , cool work and build .
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks Mike, -Doug
Beautiful build Tony.
Hope to see more from you

Awesome work Doug..!
The V8 looks real.. in 1:16 it must be a stunning car..
Thanks RK. I've always felt that the larger scales lend themselves to greater detail and realism! -Doug
Yes Doug.. its great...

Nice build and Happy Holidays. I just wish they had put this interior into the General Lee kit.
Thanks Wm. That would be nice! -Doug

T, Thanks dude! -Doug
Looks good! I've got the same model, only mine is the red one with the words "Street Charger" on the rear fenders and the word "HEMI" down the hood.
Red, Sounds like a great build! -Doug
Now that's nice... When can I take it for a ride!👌

@@RightOnReplicas thanks man and il subscribe
Nobody noticed the firing order was 18436572 in instructions that's Chevy V8 like a 350 firing order not Chrysler Mopar firing order lol
UNO, Thanks for the info! -Doug

Uno, No problem - good catch. If you can't find a place for that Big Rod - just send it to me. I'll find a spot for it! -Doug
Um, OSHA requires carried containers used for fuel to be red, not the tanks in cars themselves. Nice build, though.
413, Thanks for the info. I think this chassis has a holdover fuel cell from the two NASCAR kits it was based on. -Doug
