Four ways to build, two builds in the box. MPC's Retro Deluxe issue of the 1968 Dodge Coronet R/T Convertible builds as a stock convertible, custom, super stock drag car, or injected drag machine — with both stock and racing versions of the 440 Magnum engine included — and rides on all-new tooling with vintage-style packaging. Alongside it: a 20-piece Haul Away transport trailer, complete with its own hitch and trailer mirrors for the car.

The 149-part kit carries a proper customiser's spread of optional parts in the classic MPC tradition: clear bubble hood scoop, hood bubble, custom grille, stock and custom bucket seats, custom and stock wheels, drag slicks, and a convertible boot for the top-down stock build. Parts come moulded in white with chrome-plated, clear, and transparent red runners, black vinyl pad-printed tyres, and metal axles. The expanded decal sheet includes the authentic Dodge Scat Pack bee — the badge that made the '68 R/T part of Mopar's angriest club.

Whichever version you build, the leftovers stock the spares box, and the trailer suits any 1/25 car in your collection — race-day paddock, swap-meet haul, or barn find, as your shelf demands. Skill level 2 with conventional assembly, comfortable for returning modellers and a satisfying weekend project for experienced hands; the trailer makes a forgiving warm-up build before the car.

Paint and plastic cement are required to complete. Recommended for ages 14+.
