MPC released its original 1968 Dodge Coronet convertible plastic model kit in 1969, and I built it as a kid. I don’t remember anything specific about it other than that I painted it just like the box art and was rather proud of it. But this isn’t a reissue — a re-pop in common parlance. No, this is an all-new tool of the old kit.
The parts are molded in white. As you might expect from a new tool, the details are crisp, and the flash is non-existent. The clear parts are like crystal, and the chrome is mirror bright. The kit provides a new decal sheet, too, with lots of vibrant markings including three “bumblebee” stripe options.
