A <\/span>SnapShot review<\/span><\/span> by Joe Mason \"Joe<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0<\/span>\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0When the light flashes green on this bad boy the next thing you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll see is red \u00e2\u20ac\u201c taillights that is! These were the guys to beat back in the day and Revell brings them to life in a Special Edition kit. You should know that it is basically the same as the previous ’68 and ’69 releases, but made with better tooling and additional parts. The instruction booklet is the same as the previous 1969 Charger that was released, but with added sections for the optional race equipment that comes in this kit. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

For the Modeler: <\/strong>Most of the parts went together well. There was a mix of smaller and larger parts that didn’t\"68<\/a> quite fit\u00c2\u00a0 together all the way. One example is the engine and the mounts on the frame. They don’t quite reach each other. Another thing was the exhaust manifolds and the actual h-pipe not lining up properly. But they fit together when the h-pipe is glued to where it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s supposed to rest. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This kit was made with better tooling and the only thing that was left on this kit from a previous one was two small spots on the C-pillar, near the side windows, that were left over from the vinyl top. They were almost like dents in the body. Nothing some putty and sanding can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t fix! <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"68<\/a> The other thing that didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t quite fit together was the front portion of the frame and the body. They didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t really come together and this causes the front end to sit up higher than usual. This issue is somewhat visible when the kit is complete. But you wouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t really notice it if you used the extra risers for the rear end to raise it up. These were pretty much the only issues I had with the kit. It wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t that difficult to put together I just thought it took a little more cement than usual, but that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s okay.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

About the Builder:<\/strong> Joe started early building models and by age 16 has won first, second and third place awards at several IPMS National contests in the juniors automotive category.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
