BTW...............only after I found one list of brief reviews did I buy that kit.

Supposedly the rear window was fixed on the 1/16 kit...................

I bought the kit to build ...........but..............doubt mine will see the day with a Confederate Battle Flag on it, though.

Got a 1/16 general Lee at lobby hobby for $17.99!!!  People are spending over $60 for these one ebay LOL.  I couldn't resist adding it to the collection for that price!

I picked up perhaps the last example of that 1/16 scale kit in the Northern Illinois region.

The HL cashier looked surprised when I handed the kit to her but explained that she thought one man bought all the store had in stock.

Some guy bought four kits one day explaining that he wanted to get "one" before they were banned.

Uh, huh................if anyone sees 1/16 General Lee kits on e-bay and the seller is in Northern Illinois......chances are it is that guy.

Bet he hit all the HL stores in Illinois and bought every GL kit he saw....................

.....missed the ones at Michaels, though................

I played American Civil War...........this was, after all, during the Centennial...........

I still have muh Union kepi from those days......................

The strange thing is:

the Polish families in my neighborhood preferred carrying the Confederate Battle Flag....................I wonder if they owned slaves..............? 

We did as kids. We played cops and robbers, army soldiers, Star Wars, too. Heck, we even built our own treehouse. Kids nowadays? Pffffttttt................................. no imagination at all.

Cowboys!

BTW, do kids still play cowboys and Indians?

knox - let's not get off track regarding the Redskins name.

GO REDSKINS!!!!!!!!    LOL!!

They've faded off to the sunset since they haven't had any new albums anyways....

 Has anyone polled Native Americans on what they feel the American flag stands for?  

  Now on topic.  I have built one car ( from Miami Vice ), and the only place it deserved to be was under cover.  Lots of cover.  Now I want a General Lee car--ug!                 knox

I'm thinking maybe we should also ban the colors red, white, and blue when used together.

Also grey and yellow because of Confederate uniforms.

And anything that has the word Dixie in it. As in Dixie Chicks! Hmmmm maybe not such bad idea!

If the General Lee 1/16 car kit is $30 regular price, then the 40 pct discount brings it down to  $18.

These days, the HL stores in the Chicago area have a sale price of 40 percent off regular price.

Seems some are commenting on avialabilty :

My HL had the Petty race car too. Not on clearance though.

COOL Price !

Only 1/16 1973 Petty race car kits in Chicago area.

Checked my local HL and there's a clearance sale going on now; particularly in auto kits mainly and a few aircraft kits as well. No cigar on the General Lee Dodge Charger though. Ah well...

If anyone wants these check your hobby lobby.  They had a bunch of 1/25 ones too.  

PS- As my Dodge loving friend would say about the word chevy.....    "STOP CUSSING!"

I Dunno ;

    I used Chevy Engine Orange on mine and No One seemed to think it was weird .

Somewhere in Mopar Land the Dodge gods are weeping...

And the Dodge Trunk Monkey has a warrant for your hide! Keep checking your rear view mirror when you're out on the road.

In shame for what? The Confederate flag on the roof? Give me a break already.....

It's a freakin' television show icon for cripes sake.

I'm about 90% sure it's Hugger Orange.

So I picked up the General Lee the other day at my local hobby shop.  What's the correct color of orange to use on it?

There must have been a palace coup... This thread still lives.

Just saw a Frontline preview about mutant organisms that can't be killed.

MRSA?

Muuhhahahahaha!! 

 I may start looking for that Pro Modeler Charger .....

Seems Revell is the only serious contender......................

An overdose of poorly written model instructions?
