Now you need to do Daisy's Challenger.

 

 

It was actually a '72 Road Runner.  Nice car either way.

the general is still always on the shelf at the Micheals here too. Maybe it's a non issue here in Canada lol

I think it's more cost effective to use the 69 revell charger though, cause if you go with the 68 you still need the 69 kit for the grill and tail light panel!

 

 

 

Thanks for that info.and I definitely intend to follow your advice.

I was in Michaels with a 50 pct off coupon checking if the store has the Revell 1969 Charger kit.

I'll check Hobby Lobby next to see if they carry a Revell 1969 Charger.

 

 

Speaking of " Granny Lee "............well, the car....

I just received a message from autoworld on-line store urging me to get 'em before the license expires.........

..........meanwhile, the kits are still on local store shelves and not a sign of a shortage.

Speaking of the Revell 1969 Charger kit

I came across posts in another forum stating that some Revell ProModeler kit boxes contain the older, inaccurate body.

As I know of no way to determine what might be correct, I will be waiting for a re-issue if I decide to build a 1969 kit.

FWIW...............I noticed that Michaels has the Sheriff Roscoe Police car on clearance for half price,ie; $9.99..................still have General Lees in stock but a 50 pct off coupon would bring the cost down to $9.99 as well.

The Revell Dodge Charger kits in stock at Michaels are the 1968 version.

Dodge Charger 0-60 in 6.1.

My 1994 BMW540i 0-60 in 6.6.

With a 283.

13.5 over the 1/4 for the beast, 15.3 for me. You'd hardly notice.

Oh, and I'm .86 lateral

Four doors, and they work.

Is that Daisy?  I can't quite see her face. 

Even so, 

that kind of view may have been the proof needed by studio execs that panty hose did the job.

Actress Tallulah Bankhead gained a reputation for not wearing some garments, prompting Alfred Hitchcock to make a comment during the filming of his movie "Lifeboat" :

I checked the quote.  Maybe he should have cast her in "Rear Window."

Nice job. Important subject.

Didn't Miss Daisy have a Jeep? I thought I saw a Daisy Duke Jeep model a number of years back.

For weathering I. Use artist oils, I mix brown and white to get a light dusty color.

Thanks !

I heard she had to wear shear leggings or nylons,whatever there called! to be able to wear those shorts in the show so that technically her legs are covered!

I do have that kit so will build at some point

Car? What car? James, said it before over there, stunning. Bo and Luke would be proud. Glad also to not see the bs here that was over there.

Crap! I always forget what her car was. Yeah, the Roadrunner. I don't know why I thought it was the Challenger.

Is it really true that door handles don't work in the South? Or do folks just not know how to use 'em?

The Sheriff approves

....that was another chassis with clean lines...

Hmm, Daisy or the car???

What did you use to weather those wonderful car builds? 

Where's the "like" button...?

Absolutely like your patrol car, James.  As a fan of American police cars, this is one of the best models Ive ever seen.  And nice touch on the missing hub cap.  Chasing after the General Lee does that to you.

LOL.

Outstanding!  Used to watch the show with my land-lady, the elderly Miss Lilian, when I lived in Decatur, Georgia.

You've made the cars look like they popped right out of the TV screen.

Now you need to do Daisy's Challenger.

Yahoo! Very nice!

Thanks !

Beautiful work !

Looks like Revell will be getting a boost from the builders as they scrounge for good Charger parts to use in their build...........
