I recently acquired a 1:18 scale 1970 R/T Challenger and of course, I want it to look exactly like the real thing I'm currently restoring.
I would like to know if anyone knows of a company that would sell the stripe kit for a car this scale?
(Or do I have to find someone who's REAL good at model painting?)

Thanks!

I collect 1:18 also but am not aware of any stripe kits for Mopars. You might try asking at www.diecastpub.com. There are several customizers there that may have an answer.

That's a really good idea. I'd also like a model of my 73 but that will never happen. It's not a popular enough year.

If you can't find one, here is an idea. If you can find a picture of the stripe, you can take it to anyone who does custom vynal car graphics. They can scan the image and then shrink or enlarge it to your scale. You might have $20 or so in it when you are done though.

There is a local place here in Iowa where I had some logos made up for the back window of my Stratus R/T. I think I had 5 manufacturer logos printed up for like $60. Most of the money was in the editing process and NOT in the accual materials. It's just an idea.

I thought so also, but i did find a -73 at e-bay. I can tell you that it was not cheap, but am really happy that i did find one. Try to search e-bay, i keep my thumbs and hope you find one Burdar!

http://hobbylinc.com/ I do not know if they have stripes, but this is a really good place that sell many good details for model cars.. Otherwise it was a good idea you came up with Burdar!
