1974 Plymouth Roadrunner Blue

​
This MPC  kit has a few shortcomings but I persevered. Painted with Testors Icy Blue to get rid of that can on the shelf and a black interior. Kit decals were OK but didn't quite fit the contour of the window. I pinned the exterior mirrors and I'm glad I did because the decals have to go on first and the mirrors go through the decal. So I didn't have to get glue on the decal itself. I used a more colorful Roadrunner decal on the front and rear that I had from Mike's Speed Shop. You probably can't see it very well due to my poor camera.  Goodyear Polyglas GT, L60-15s were included in the kit so I took those for a future build and substituted what I call Goodyear "Ghost Letter" tires from the parts box. It will make a decent "shelf sitter".  Thanks for looking! 😎

Looks very sharp! Im always used to seeing Roadrunners in many other colors besides blue. Red or Orange come to mind...

This one came out very well JR. That blue looks absolutely stunning on this car and the decals really set it all off. Tires and wheels look the part and help with the overall look of the car as well. I know all too well how tough this kit is because I had it in the stash at one point and after messing around with it, I decided to skip building it. You've turned out a beautiful product here with a less than stellar kit brother.

Came out awesome. That blue really suits the car. Very nicely done...

And I think you may have talked me into getting one...

When I was a teen I bought a 71 Barracuda off a guy who was building one of these in almost the same color. Nice rendition off a cool car
