Larry KThe Dodge Charger R / T is the most beloved car among those that animate the Fast & Furious universe.
Now, more than 15 years after the launch of the first film in the saga, the time has come to celebrate this legendary series with detailed and exclusive 1: 8 scale reproduction of Dominic Toretto's legendary Dodge Charger R / T.
A true masterpiece of modeling, with metal bodywork and complete with all the details that make it the authentic star of the saga. An unmissable and unique model, full of the inimitable charm of custom-made cars in the USA!

MunkyslutI saw that on YouTube a few days back!
From what I've seen so far it looks a bit odd around the nose. I've built a fair few 70 Chargers in my time & that just looks a bit 'off'!
I hope I'm wrong, the 68 Mustang they did was well proportioned.

Chris ParsonsWhere did you see it? I'd be interested in having a look....being a bit of a mopar fan myself

Larry KThe car was set up for drag racing by his father (in the movie) the grill is a light weight custom

MunkyslutSorry Larry what I meant was that the whole front end just looks a little out of proportion, pretty much from the front wheel arch forward.
The chromed grill surround in a 70 Charger is thinnner & sharper looking than that, let's hope the publicity shots make it look so.
It's not that new tho, this was released back in Feb/March

Larry KThe Copyright is 2019 on the package back, In the USA we are a few month's behind than in the UK, some of their items (DeAgostini) aren't even available over hear.

MunkyslutYeah if you look at the YouTube build videos they are mostly British & they are dated about 5 months back.
It looks better the more I look Larry, maybe the chrome just needs dulling down a little.
Are you thinking of subscribing?

Larry KYes I've have, It's the only way that's it available at this time, It can take up to two years before the kit is available as a complete one-time purchase, but I've purchase the Shelby Mustang as a full-kit purchase about one mouth ago.

MunkyslutThe Mustang was built by a friend of mine & it was really well made, looked great finished too!

Larry KThe firewall on the Mustang needs a lot of work, but the interior look really great, I've haven't gotten past the step 3-A in the 3rd issue.
