1970 Challenger 2'n 1

I loved building this kit. It was a snap almost. The body fits relatively well and it has great detail. There were some minor problems, like the hood being warped, but because of Revell's excellent customer service, I was able to get a replacement very quickly. The interior and exterior is very nice. I painted mine orange with a black interior.

This was only my third build of a 1/24,25 scale car so I am definitely a beginner- which is why I chose this car. At only 70 pieces or so I figured I wouldn't be swamped and want to give up. As it turned out I enjoyed pretty much every minute of building it. There was a considerable amount of flash on my model requiring some time in clean up, the windows were ill fitting, and the front axle spindles were rather thin, knocking out the castor and camber of the wheels. On the other hand, the model was well engineered with separate door panels for interior trimming, the body slid over the chassis with little difficulty, and the decals were a pleasure to work with. One note to add, if you plan on wiring the distributor and use the stock carbs/air cleaner you may want to drill the engine or cut the distributor shaft down. Otherwise, the air cleaner will not fit over the bump caused by the wires protruding from the dist.cap. This kit is typical Revell, whether airplane or auto, a real good deal for the money.

This kit a blast to build. There was very little modification needed to get parts to fit together and there was almost no flash to deal with and the mold lines were minimal. The included optional parts are great to keep in the parts bin for other projects. The chrome parts are immaculate and and both chrome and clear parts have great detail. Although the decal sheet was pretty minimal the engine compartment OEM decals give this model a very authentic look. My only issue was the fairly extensive amount of bare metal foil work required. Not really a knock against this model I just hate dealing with it.
