1971 Dodge Hemi Charger R/T 1/25 Scale Model Kit Build How To Assemble Paint Decal Trim Interior

[@JohnW1711stock]

My friend has a 440 Six Pack like this. His has a black vinyl top. I believe the Hemi cars all had Dana 60 rear axles.

[@cliffordkirkes6274]

Great job. I have this kit and had NO clue what to do with the horrible kit headlights. Thanks for the info and motivation.

[@edwardnash7411]

Great Build love it

[@maryfiltz800]

Great looking - I have a soft spot for Chargers.

Did you say "Slime Lime"? 🤣😂🤣😂 That is AWESOME...I will be using that myself from now on!! 😁👍🏾

hahahaha.. i love it. lol

[@johnsutcliffe6864]

Another great Mopar build Chris. Keep um coming

[@CarlSwafford-xp6gr]

Fantastic build Chris. My favorite Charger body and one of my favorite Mopars. I do have GM and Ford stuff in my stash but my Mopars rule ! Thanks for the great build and I hope to see that Dodge L 700 tractor with car hauler trailer soon. 😀

[@charlesfielding3536]

Got my order in for this kit, but I forgot the last edition only included the 440 's (1-2-1) exhaust manifolds but most of the Hemi parts, too, but since I've been building models since 1964, I have enough correct stock Hemi exhausts (1-1-1-1) in my spare parts to build the correct Hemi engine. Thanks for re-releasing this kit. Besides, I can use the 440 exhaust manifolds of this engine on the Warlock !

[@michaelcooke2559]

Nice looking kit. It appears to be well engineered, which is something I rarely say about Round 2 kits. Nice job building the kit. It looks great. Thanks for sharing.

[@dirkmontgomery5983]

Now I need this kit

[@robbygaines3214]

Your choice of color really sets this car off well.

One of my favorite musclecars along with it's Plymouth Road Runner/GTX counterpart. I'd love to own the real thing.

Stage V Engineering makes a kit to adapt a 426 hemi head to a 440 wedge block.

[@hpiguy]

That explains the Stage V decals, thanks!

[@danielkemp4801]

Great build. I have always liked Mopars. Great video and review, have a nice day.

[@acrowe2512]

Very nice kit Round2. I love the extra engine detail. HPIGUYS did it justice as usual and in no time too. Thx Chris.

[@ronandanne1]

Your auto models were always good but lately wow! Beautiful work. And i get the impression--maybe wrong--that you work quickly.

[@hpiguy]

You are correct, about 8-9 hours per kit is all over two days. Thanks!

grandma had one, but it was brown !! (she traded in her 1969 442 ragtop for it)

[@JackWebster-cs8hi]

Great job

[@anthonyhendricks7377]

The 440 as a Hemi wasn't offered by Mopar. It was however buildable aftermarket. PAW back in the day offered the parts to convert a high block into a Hemi. Nice build as always. The original '70s kit had optional wheels, headers and other hot rod parts. It's ashamed Round 2 cheaps out on the remakes!!! But it's their loss. Others are truly stepping up!!!

[@ensignjimmy3237]

A company called Stage V Engineering also came up with Hemi style heads in the late 80s.

U always get my votes on ur good build no need for model shows.i got 2 of the older kits built. .thanks for sharing

[@jimchapman1524]

when your building a model of that caliber take it nice an slow

[@davidhinkson8856]

In terms of using the rubbing alcohol to clear up the Sharpie mistakes, I guess you have to wait till the paint is fully cured and not use too much of it, am I right? That cleaned up very nicely and I love the bright colors those older cars came in. I don't recall whether this is a newly tooled kit or a reissue, but it looks like a well detailed model.

[@jacobeakright7834]

Looks like they have the wrong exhaust manifolds and the rear end looks like an 8 3/4 I do believe that still would have been a Dana 60 in that car

[@danielpaulsness6951]

Nice build 😁

[@martyoberman2108]

Chris, can you share the name of the Krylon Fusion green with me? I wasn't able to make out the name of the color when you showed it. Thanks for that and yet another perfect review and build of a kit that I will certainly be purchasing when it comes out. Rock on Brother!

[@johnspangler6579]

You do great work for the pace that you work at. Do you ever get burnt out?

[@hpiguy]

I sure do. I think all hobbyists get in a stale point and need to take a break. Sometimes I skip a build and only do one video in that week, or I'll do a review of some tools, etc.

[@alwynemcintyre2184]

Nice model, love the work put into it. But I still prefer the 1973 charger

[@MrCocg1]

A/C on a Hemi -- Not Available.. Bench seat in this one ... Glad to see they made factory "Bright Tips" is what Mopar called them...

[@ensignjimmy3237]

Look up Stage V Engineering. They made Hemi heads for a 440.

[@jamesharrington4923]

Dodge and Plymouth never made a 440 hemi, they're strictly 426 cubic inches, Hemis also didn't come with air conditioning, especially with an air grabber hood, the compressor won't clear the scoop base. Nice build though.

[@ensignjimmy3237]

I don’t know the vintage of this kit, but there was a Stage V Engineering in the late 80s that came out with Hemi style heads for a 440.

[@jamesharrington4923]

@@ensignjimmy3237 this is a 1998 tooling of this car, yes I seem to remember Stage V heads, BUT they weren't original to this particular car!!

@@jamesharrington4923 - obviously they weren’t as any gearhead would know lol. Someone else posted that this engine is from a different kit. The description on the box is very misleading not mentioning the car isn’t stock.

[@jamesharrington4923]

@@ensignjimmy3237 No the kit is modified to resemble a 71 Hemi charger, but looks like the same 440 block with.hemi heads,valve covers and air grabber setup included, but if it were mine I'd take the hemi and 4sp from the 1970 super bee kit and put in this kit, I'm a 4spd guy, so that's what I'd do with it.

The parts you called elephant manifolds(?) Are for a 440 car! Exhaust ports on hemis are all separate. Does the kit come with the hemi manifolds? The guy before my comment is right, no 440 hemis!

A company called Stage V Engineering made Hemi heads for them in the 80s. Not sure if that fits the vintage of this kit or not.

[@keitha.becker6317]

Q… can you tell me what glues you are using for this build? The brush glue and the red bottle? Thanks. As always I been enjoying your builds 😊

[@hpiguy]

Plastruct Bondene for plastic glue Dollar store super glue in the red bottle.

[@RockRock-td2gb]

What type of glue do you use

[@SteveWarner-vl5yh]

Has anyone had any experience with spray can automotive touch up paint on a plastic car model? Are there any issues painting over primer as a base coat? Any compatibility issues at all? Thank you.

[@hpiguy]

Lots of folks use Duplicolor from auto parts stores to get factory colors. As long as you lay a primer (I use their brand primer when I use that paint) it shouldn't melt the plastic.

[@SteveWarner-vl5yh]

Thank you for your answer. Have you had any experience with the brand automotivetouchup. (all one word) spray paints? Looks like they offer a good selection of factory colors. One other question. I hope to do a headliner and would like to incorporate bows made from styrene. What size styrene strips would you recommend to duplicate late 60's-early 70's Mopars? Thank you.

[@SteveWarner-vl5yh]

1/25 scale that is.

[@alwynemcintyre2184]

Must be a base model charger R/T, with column shift and centre armrest 🤣🤣

[@nismoprince]

this is not an accurate '71 426 Hemi Charger kit. the Hemi parts are modeled after the Stage V Hemi conversion for RB engines from the 90's. this is why the kit has the 440 A/C set up, which wasn't available in any 426 Hemi optioned car. the Stage V parts were included in the custom '71 Super Bee kit, and are now part of the R/T kit. with some modifications and kitbashing, you can build an accurate 426 Hemi Charger from this kit however......
