Demon 340

Now, for a special treat, the new 71 Demon kit. This has been a grail kit for a long time. I've really wanted one in the collection for years, as I liked them a bit more than the Duster. However, the vintage kits are at outrageous prices. I was excited when they announced the new kit.


This kit is great! I liken it to the old 71 Duster kit. The only flaw I found was a hood fit issue, so I had to glue it shut. It would stick up on the front right or in the left back. The rear spoiler I think is also too thick. I did also find a head scratcher with the chassis. You have to poke out the holes for the exhaust, a feature you need stock or custom, but there are holes already in the suspension for the custom drag bars. Kinda weird. You also have to cut out the holes for the scoops, which is weird since you're adding strips and wouldn't be able to see them once the decals are on. Not to mention having to cut holes in the decals for the scoops. I just cut off the prongs and glued them straight on. Over all, the kit is an excellent kit, and makes a great looking model car!
