I built the original version of the MPC kit back in 1971, painted it yellow with black stripes and interior. Even with its inaccuracies, it was a good kit. When Round 2 chose to re-release MPC 1971 Dodge Demon, they retooled it to correct some of these inaccuracies, providing us with a MUCH better finished product. All of the moldings and parts are crisp and clean with no flash. The pad printed Firestone Wide-Ovals and Drag 500 slicks are a greatly appreciated detail added to this kit. I purchased several copies, 3 to build as factory stock in different colors, 1 to kitbash into a Norm's Grand Spaulding Dodge GSS Paxton Supercharged Demon 340, and more to build as Sportsman Drag Racing Demons or Day 2 modified street machines, using the 340 6-Pack from AMT's '71 Plymouth Duster in a couple of them. Well, I'm excited, it i9s time true break out the sprue cutters and glue and get BUSY!...

This is the first model car that I've built since early 1980, when I met my then future wife. I didn't have time to continue building model cars any more, so I gave up the hobby. Now, 45 years later I'm back, and this is the car that I chose to build first. Doing so brought back a lot of memories, and I caught myself doing things the same way I did them 4 and a half decades ago. It turned out better than I thought it might because my hands don't work like they used to. I built it to be a street machine/bracket car. I wish it had a better roll cage, as well as a set of headers, finding some that will work online hasn't been easy so far. My next build will be a '71 Duster Super Stock car, I'll have to buy an additional model of a '67 Chevelle for the roll cage, tires/wheels, and the rear end, and look for more parts online until I can build up my stash of spare parts.

This wasa very hard to find kit a year or so ago so glad to see it here! This is a different build not hard in the lease but easy to make look good. Don't really like the grill as it's not chrome molded that's a little weird. Overall I'd buy this kit a couple times over for sure!
