I've been patiently waiting for an affordable '70 Charger kit for a LOONG time. I haven't built one in years, but would like to grab a few of these for that "someday". Looks like a very detailed model. I'm sure it surpasses the original MPC kits by far.

I'd still like to find an original MPC '70 kit just to have.
And a '70 promo model, in purple.

Back last year when I was considering a color change from my current RED to a B-5 blue, having 2 car models side by side would have been fun to compare.

MPC made the bodies off the original factory blueprints.  I knew a few guys that worked there.
A 70 purple Charger promo is only $600. to $800. bucks these days.  A lot cheaper than a real one! 

Why does the pink car pictured above have a windshield that appears too tall?? 
Looks like a 4 dr. sedan piece.

Much better than this model.

A Vista Cruiser 68 Charger

I agree, the MPC bodies are very accurate. The rest of the kit is typical 60s/70s detail.
The Revell ('69 based) Charger is very detailed, however the body has some inaccuracies IMHO.
Perhaps kitbashing the new '70 kit with an older body or a resin repro body might be the best of both worlds. Haven't seen the new Revell kit yet to make that call though.

A purple '70 promo just sold on eBay for $600, had worn chrome and a cracked vent window vertical support. Strong money. I do have a '70 promo in B5, mint with a mint box I would put towards trade of an FC7 in equal condition.

Here's a pic of my Allison promo. Colored box was signed by Bobby, back in 1971.

Its basically an updated version of Revell 1968 - 1969 Charger kits. Actually the body is a little better. I think the door scallops on the 68-69 are to exaggerated compared to the 1/1 . This 1970 kit is closer to the actual car in those respects . The tail lights are not 100% right for a 1970 . BUT,,, IMO close enough

I have an original 1970 annual kit here and used to have an original dealer promo( sold the promo last year )

I'll have to dig the kit out and do a side by side comparison of it versus this new tool

Your original MPC annual kit will have a perfect body.   

[igozumn]

Agreed.  I have about 2 dozen 68-70 MPC buildups/projects/kits.  Mainly '69s.  The newest Revell is decent.  Better than no '70 kit for sure.  But there's just something about the way those MPC kits look that just......   Before Modelhaus quit taking orders, I placed an order as if I was never going to be able to get their stuff ever again.  So, I should be set for the annuals I have now, plus maybe a few newcomers down the road.  


edit: I have been working on realistic grill inserts for the annual '69/Dukes/Country editions patterned off the Revell '69.  That's the one thing that bugs me about the MPC '69 is the grill inserts suck.  I actually prefer the Duke's 3rd gen Charger inserts over the '69 annual.
