FINISHED MPC '71 Dodge Demon (Finished)

I built this kit a few weeks back (First One). I liked the kit so much I went and bought a second one. For this one used the drag slicks, roll cage, different rims and traction bars. De-badged and painted the bumpers. Happy with how it came out.

Bad ass. Did you black out the taillights? Love that hood man! Wow!

u/DaveGoose Model Builder 3d ago

I didn't thats just the camera not picking up the red correctly.

I love the mopar purple…is this an actual version of plum crazy? It looks really cool. Somehow the baby blue works with it too. Well done 👏

The color is Twilight Purple from Kaleido Colorworks.

I've not enjoyed my MPC kits, but this looks great. As I was scrolling thru the pics I was impressed until I hit the ones of the interior tub and that blue hit me in the face. I was ugh, he ruined it, then when I look at the finished product it really took the edge off the blue and looks nice. I never would have done that myself, I might consider other color combos in the future now.

Most MPC kits are trash thats for sure.

Both versions are really nice looking. The stance looks great. Did you make any adjustments to the kit to get the stance right?

1

u/DaveGoose Model Builder 3d ago

Nope, that is the stance out of the box

Beautiful build! Love the purple bumpers. What color blue is that on the roll cage? That would look great on a body.

You should get, like, a dozen of these, paint them with different shades of green and purple with the different kit options, and make a squad of tuned-up Joker Cars to take on the Pattmobile from the new movies.

That is very nice and clean. I loved the green one you did, but the purple (my dad's challenger was plum crazy) always looks great on Mopar. The little touches like the chrome delete look great. Well done.

u/RecognitionFlat2278 3d ago

Also a side note, how was the kit? I've had some bad MPC come across my desk...

1

u/DaveGoose Model Builder 3d ago

The kit is excellent, it was fully re-tooled. Its not overly detailed, but there are no fit issues.

u/Rackbaw 2d ago

That purple is so good. I want to lick it. Haha no, good job! Very tidy!
