Just some good old boys........Dodge 1969 Charger


Recommended Posts

Evening all,

 

Another commission build...this time the 2009 MPC 1/25 scale 1969 Dodge Charger - the "General Lee" from the Dukes of Hazard

 

A tough build in places and I really dont like the polystyrene used by MPC, but hey ho, worked out nicely in the end. Plenty of fitment issues, including the roll cage that simply didnt fit. then there was the mounting of the shell to the chassis......nightmare! but got there in the end.  Paint was done with Tamiya rattle cans, and a little bit of airbrushing. Along with some light weathering using Tamiya weathering pastels.

 

Enjoy!

Yeehah! 

I found a picture somewhere on line that shows around 39 pristine General Lee's parked up ready for stunts on the TV show!

I built one decades ago, Perhaps the 1980 issue that I found quite crude. I now have a metal ERTL version on display. (Also a bit crude!)
