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?

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

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!

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!"

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 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 :

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.

All orange cars should immediately be repainted. It may remind someone of the General Lee car.

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

 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
