"Not the best Charger kit, but still good"
cawleye.6
Shares the same architecture as the MPC Daytona I'm currently building alongside it, and as such I will be using some of the optional parts (supercharger and hood scoop) from the Daytona kit on this one. Molded in black, which could be great or terrible, whichever you prefer. I haven't quite made up my mind yet. There is a LOT of flash, another feature it shares with the Daytona, so be prepared to spend plenty of time on cleanup. Not necessarily a problem, but could be one for less experienced modelers. The shape seems juuust a little off in some places (namely the iconic flying buttresses that seem a little short), and some details are a bit iffy, but it looks generally like a Charger so I can't complain too much. The greatest problem detail-wise is the front wheel wells/inner fenders that are molded into the chassis as a sorta rectangular blob with terrible seam lines. The chassis is just full of seams and injector pins in total. The firewall is also a separate piece, and it doesn't really seem to want to fit all that right during mock ups, sandwiching somehow between the chassis and interior tub. Comes with many parts from General Lee kits, such as the push bar, roll cage, and Vector wheels, but more patriotic decals instead (various American flags and General Grant, George Washington, Born Free,etc. name scripts). I will be using the optional Torque Thrust wheels instead. Tires do not have any raised letters, only a line for red-lines, so I'll be using different tires (is it really a street machine without white letters?). Overall, its far from the best 69 Charger kit on the market, but it comes with plenty of options and fantastic decals. Should build up pretty nice with a little hard work.

"Decent kit. Some parts have fitment issues."
scotg99
Overall Decent kit, with some flaws. Mine had the Vector wheels (Dukes of Hazzard General Lee style) and some Torq Trust style wheels, which will go in the parts bin for a different custom build someday. Lots of flash due to this being a very old model. Kinda cool that it comes with a bunch of decal options. Several historic versions of the American flag. I went with the 35-star version and the General Grant text. You also get 2 sets of numbers 0-9, so I did 65 as the ending year of the civil war. I'm sure it's easy to find confederate flag decals online these days if you wanted to do a General Lee. Have to be patient with this model though. I had fitment issues with the rear bumper, requiring trimming the chassis. Also, the hood doesn't lay how it's supposed to. There are no motor mounting points either...it just kinda sits on the k-member. The roll cage doesn't fit well at all. I kinda crammed min in there, and one of the bars popped loose. Oh well, it still looks good on the shelf, and the only person who will ever notice any of those flaws is me.

 
"Nice"
ruzguz
This kit does require patience. There was a lot of flash especially on the chrome tree, I know this kit has been around the block a few times and flash is to be expected. The roll bar takes a bit of finesse to get it to fit correctly, other than that the interior go together quite nicely. The tail light panel and rear bumper took some time to get it to look right. The end result was a pretty good looking Charger. I would build it again.

 
"No Vector Wheels"
smiller411
Arrived factory sealed with no Vector wheels for a General Lee (even though they are shown on the box). This model comes with Dodge factory wheels (Magnum 500s?) and 5 spoke Torque Thrust mags. To build the General you will need a set of decals (like Slixx FSMS1-8034) and some aftermarket Vectors - harder and harder to find. Good luck. The General will ride again!
