This is the first car kit I have built in over 25 years. I kind of collect Mopar kits, but I will buy other brands. I typically build WWII 1/48 aircraft. I’ve been in a modeling slump for a while so I thought I would try a basically box stock kit bash. I bought this kit to use the parts to update the MPC 76 Dart kit. But since I have been in a slump I thought why am I complicating things, just build the Duster, it’s a sharp looking car! So here is the results, hope you like it!

Beautiful build. You did a great job on it.  The only thing on this kit I didn’t like was the rear arch over the quarter window was not made right. I reworked it on my build. And the instructions are incorrect on the the scoops. They tell you to put them on wrong.  The longer side of each scoop should be on the outside. As you can see on my real Duster. It’s not a bad kit. Just needs work. Your yellow version is a beauty. But I love A bodies 😁 |

Nice builds, you guys, I'm somewhat of a Duster fan myself.
I think I've had 4 or 5 so far in 1:1. Always wanted one in GY3, much more affordable in scale nowadays.

Thank you everyone!
I painted it with Tamiya’s Camel Yellow TS-34, spray can. I had it, I liked it, and thought it would look good. I wasn’t going for a true stock color.
I wanted to try more wiring under the hood, but I also wanted to finish it in this decade.

Great looking A body Mopar!! Love the color. As was said, finishing a build is overrated, it’s quantity over quality, or something like that.
*wanders off mumbling about starting yet another build project *
