Nice review. I'll have to go get one before the license runs out this year. As far as I'm concerned it is NOT the General Lee without the Confederate Flag on the roof. That IS it's signature characteristic. It would just be an orange 69' Charger.

I feel your pain brother! You know we live in a bizzaro world today when politics enters into the modeling hobby. Makes me wonder how in the hell we made through life (when we were kids). Oh; that's right , we didn't have the political correct police telling us how much we were racists. Oh! and the model looks great too, bro...

Gotta love pointless politicians making pointless gestures. If I remember correctly they did keep the Charger branding on the grill insert with the R/T badge in the show, least the first season. I saw this in the store but thought it was an old kit, have to pick this one up, thanks for the review!

Ive built several generals from different kits, and I gotta say I agree with u on the Revell kit for being the best one to build from. Of course, now MPC makes a 69 charger called the "country charger", which happens to be the same general model as before but labeled under a different name and color. Thankfully, if anyone wants to build a correct general thats paint and glue, then I suggest the country charger for the american vector wheels, roll bars, and the push bar. Steal those pieces, add them to a revell kit, and then folks will need to order that decal from a 3rd party vendor. Lotta work to go through, but im a huge Dukes fan, so its worth it for me. Im not into snap tite kits, but this would be well worth it simply for TWO decal sheets. However, i doubt anyones gonna find it now for 17 dollars with it being outta print. Anyways, thanks for the video.

If you get the sticker set online, the coca cola snap tite model is the old general lee kit in red. Few little odd things but overall the body shell has the best detail of any charger Ive built so far. The details are mint.

If you want absurd, I was offered a really cool model of the "Little Boy" dropped by the Enola G-- (can't even say that word or the censors lose their minds) over Japan in WW2. It's historically accurate down to the pull out wires. The guy was excited to have me review it for his model company. I had to decline the review because YT would see it as me 'teaching people how to make a bo-b" (can't even say the B word or they go nuts too) and ban my entire channel. Totally absurd, but that's the world we live in now.
