Reviews : Revell-Monogram 1970 Plymouth Roadrunner

Typical older Monogram kit with great parts fit, a lower parts count, and makes a very nice mini-replica. The instructions are well illustrated and easy to follow. The decal sheet is well done and the decals apply very well. There is little to no flash to contend with and there is even a few extra parts including two sets of wheels to choose from. I highly recommend this kit. I painted mine in Anita's Galvanized Tin with Createx Gloss Clear. I also added a few extra details including spark plug wires, heater hoses, door lock knobs and valve stems.

I was very happy with the outcome of this car when I finished it, so much so, I built another one & plan on doing a third one. Fit & finish was very good on both models & detail was very good also, as I owned a real one & have access to it still. The first one I did was for the new owner, a good friend who bought the car, & I painted it, inside & out, just like it is now, Vitamin C Orange with Burnt Orange interior. Revell/Monogram kits are very good for advanced modelers too.

I was disappointed as Revell models generally have good detail and quality, but this one did not measure up. The interior floor pan had a warp/twist that took a lot of clamping, use of heat gun and shims to make it fit and align well with the body and chassis. The hood was also warped and did not fit properly. Finally the rear panel on the trunk did not fit and needed trimming and sanding in order to fit.

It's a great product with detailed instructions. It is a very accurate depletion of the factory car with available decals and shows the exact location of the decals and when you should apply them to make it easier to complete.

Excellent kit. Looking forward to building it. Only downside is the engine bay parts are modeled in, instead of being separate on a sprue tree.

Easy directions and great fit with parts. I did the box build with some added details. Nice model when finished.

Tire and wheel set up was poor at best Most part fit just ok
