Best Dodge Charger 1969 kit?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi guys!

I want to make the General Lee version but I don't know what is the best detail kit for it... I have 3 choices:

AMT General Lee original kit (can find one on eBay)
AMT General Lee movie kit (is there is a big difference between both?)
Revell Dodge Charger...

I know the 2 first come with all the decals but I also want to make my own Charger (a black one... wonder why!)

So, is anyone can help me choose between theses?

Thanks!!

The Revell Charger is hands-down a far better kit. The AMT kit has problems, but if you want a General Lee you're going to either live w/the AMT kit or get it for the detail bits and use the Revell kit as the basis. The Revell Charger is one of their all-time best engineered/detailed muscle cars. AMT's is typical late 60's AMT engineering/detail.

The 2 AMT's are the same, so choose one for the decals, then get the revell for the body, as the AMT is a Charger 500 body.

This link may interest you if you go with the Revell kit.

i remember somebody here to the revell kit and used the decals from the amt kit to make there general lee!:sunglasse

The best deal is to buy the Revell kit, and buy the AMT kit for the wheels, decals and pushbar, because you'll have a tough time scratchbuilding those.
