One of my favorite shows, and characters, as a kid. I had Generals everywhere... I pieced this together over the better part of a year. Revell 68 Charger body, with the 69 Charger guts Paint is Testors Hugger Orange. Decals from Slixx. Wheels and tires from Fireball. Scratchbuilt pushbar.
Pictured with the MPC version I built 20yrs earlier...
As always, thanks for looking...

so the 68 Revell kit or the 69? So the Revell 69 body has a molded in texture simulating a vinyl top. The 68 body does not. What I did was take the 69 kit and added the 68 body to build the General. I plan on taking the 69 body and 68 kit to make the Charger from Bullit.. or at least a vinyl top 68 Charger. |

so the 68 Revell kit or the 69? You can use either one really. I sanded the roof of my Revell 69 Charger. Trust me though……these kits are NICE!!! I’ll look for my General Lee and start a thread on it so I don’t bomb Jeremy’s thread here with my stuff as he’s done a great job with his. |

It was an Autotrader commercial I think? No flag... and I think Bill (spencer1984) may have built a model of it
