1967 Charger Great Street Machines

This is a usual MPC kit with some quality issues that you will need to work around. The instructions are vague and some of the pieces don't quite fit right. It is also what you should expect when buying MPC kits. There will be things you love about them and things that will drive you nuts. Overall the kit has nice details like choices of wheels, tires, intakes, and a nice hood scoop. Some of the biggest fit issues are with the chassis and interior tub. The kit comes with awesome slicks but they do not fit well because the design of the interior tub doesn't leave enough room in the rear wheel wells. The chassis does not fit the body well. I used strip styrene to add width and length to it. I also added strip styrene to eliminate the gap with the fender wells in the engine compartment. Even with those issues I love the kit! I had a plan when I started to remove the chrome from the bumpers and mold them into the body and I knew I wanted to install a modern Hemi engine. I want to thank everyone who submit photos to Hobbylinc. It a great reference tool when building the kits that they offer.

I’m an intermediate modeler at best and this kit was a challenge right out of the box. There was a lot of flash on just about every piece, The four piece headers are a real headache, I had to break out the heat gun to get them to fit the chassis. The rear wheels are too wide for the tires. The engine compartment is not even remotely close to the 66, 67 B body Mopars. The one real positive thing is the body is super nice with great detail, I really like the side body decals. All in all a real challenge for this kid, I am glad it finally came together to make a sharp Charger. I love Chargers!!!

I thought that the mold for this kit would have been tweaked to refine the charger but alas I was wrong , I built this kit over 50 years ago and it was most memorable back in the day, flash was everywhere and the trees were not trees at all but gigantic stalks holding small parts, I haven't built it yet so the finished item has yet to be revealed but as was separating the parts, I was saddened that the kit could be let go as it was and the instructions, just use what you know about building cars and you'll be much better off cause they're terrible. Not for beginners at all .
