I bought this kit and was so impressed with the detail of the chassis and the amount of well done parts, that I went back and bought 2 more. Stock car detailers and modifiers alike will find that the underpinnings of this kit makes an EXCELLENT jumping off point for all manner of stock car project, from dirt to superspeedway.
I had that kit 45 years ago. I found this on one of the shelves, in a small store, some miles from home. I bought it and showed it to my dad, he gave his usual nod. Lol! That kit was originally a Petty short track racer. The new packaging depicts this one as a Valiant.......I am thinking someone doesn't know Plymouth's from Dodge's very well. The body is based on a 1971 - 72 A- BODY Dodge Dart. I am sure anyone who knows the difference, will have noticed that already. The kit is very detailed for it's time ( old kit) You sir, have done a great job on that kit. Thanks for your time.
In fact, this is as exact as a stock car model kit could be to a real car. The parts in this kit allow you to make an exact copy of "a" Chrysler Kit car from that program in the mid to late 70's. The idea was you could go to your Plymouth or Dodge dealer and buy a race car, partially or totally complete for about $8000. You could also buy all the parts, and put them together with some welding and mechanical skills! The decals are a fantasy, so you could build your own version, but several hundred of these were out there in 1:1 scale. There are lots of photos on the net, and there is even a facebook Chrysler kit car group. Many still exist and are run in Vintage or street stock racing classes. It is really a Dart Swinger, it and the Scamp were exactly the same except for the grille, its close enough for me. They are of moderate difficulty to build, it just takes a little patience and grit, but the kit will reward you with a fine example of a popular Short Track Late Model stock car of the 70's!
In the old days these cars were offered for sale to racers, and they did them up any way they wanted too, you did it up like you would have if you were racing it.......... that's great!
Hpiguy , I really think you belong in the Guinness book. For building a record amount of quality built models within a short period of time . How the hell do you do it ? I have 6 started but not completed. I am in a funk ! I can NOT start and finish a model. One model I know I wont get back to anytime soon is the Johan Chrysler Turbine car. Its close. All body parts are painted. Interior painted,Engine painted with metalizer Almost complete. I MUST HAVE A.A.D.D.! I mean... is this normal for model car builders at some point in their building "career" ?lol ANYWAY. 👍🏻's 👆 to all of your videos. You should open up a car model museum where you live.
Everyone hits a wall now and then. Take a break, and pick it back up later. I'm on a kit review right now that has an issue, likely due to a mistake I made but I'm moving forward, showing folks where it went wrong and getting back on the horse.
The model looks great! I agree, many of the older kits are more detailed than you would think. The old Johan were great kits for detailing and accuracy. Thanks for sharing this.
Chris I think you're really good at what you do and I do appreciate your expertise. After picking up and building this Valiant Scamp my model had probably the worst flashing I've seen on a model in some time. The flashing was in the worst places and sometimes in such huge amounts, I thought it was the part! It is a good looking model when you finish and it is complicated. Thanks for the help. Folks will need it on this one.
Your videos are like ASMR for me. Your voice, the music while painting, the model building process, the whole kit and caboodle! Great build! I am going to show my butt now...I love the Barracuda; I love the Duster; until today, I did not know they started life as Plymouth Valiant manufacturer/dealer option packages.
Great way to spend my Saturday morning watching Chris build another cool model kit. I remember the Valiant Scamp equivalent to the Dodge Dart Duster (I think) back in the day. I owned a Valiant and didn't like it so I sold it and bought a fast Ford!
When I was 16 I really wanted to go down to Markley Motors in Fort Collins and order a Dart Sport Kit car to match my 340 Dart Sport. For around $8000 I could have ordered one, picked it up at the dealer I. A huge box, well, probably numerous crates would have been delivered, and I would have built my own 1:1 scale In my garage. Mopar built these kits over a 5 (ish) year period and sold a couple hundred. Very cool build. It’s on my list.
Jesus H. Christ! What a model! A real super American muscle racing car!.......nevertheless, that green dump truck is still in number one. Congrats Chris and thank you for sharing!
When I saw this kit, I knew I had to have it. No idea why, but I had to get it. Picked it up a little while ago, and have been waiting for this review video. Thank you for building this. It looks great, and I'm looking forward to building mine.
Love how you can take a kit that I've had issues with and get it together looking good. I may be inspired to see if I can finish mine up now. When I started it, I was building everything "perfectly" as I could. Now I enjoy just getting one together and being able to look at it and not worry if it's perfect underneath. I think you say HAVE FUN - that's the key. These oild kits don't always just fall together. But they will go together if you can deal with the short comings.
Another great job there "Wilson" love your video's, whenever I'm having a bad day I just go to my model table and watch some of your video's, please, keep up the good work, good luck on your next project, Rick

Whoa! This one looks so good! My dad and uncle used to race back in the 60's and 70's, so I'm very familiar with these old stockers. It all looks so eerily realistic, because the real cars just looked like big model kits. Great painting, one of my favorites. I'm still working on Petty's only Ford Torino Talledega (the one he used to coax MOPAR into cutting him a better deal or he was gonna run more Fords). Thanks for the video!
I remember seeing these kits on the shelves back in the day,,, as well as the Petty kits and wanted to buy it but never did. Incredible that they are remaking them. The MPC dirt track series was pretty cool too...

Nice build, great finish as usual - looks really great in that lime green. Thanks for sharing. Now all we need for a great weekend is an update on the P-51... ;)
I saw one of these at my hobby shop. After seeing your build it appears this is a very detailed kit, much moreso than I would have expected. I'm not sure if that thing behind the seat is to cool the driver or the rear axle lube. I thought your build looked FANTASTICAL! Might just have to buy one of these cool kits. Testers enamel will not dry on the tires...I have heard tamiya acrylic white works well but haven't tried it. If that is indeed the case, cheap acrylic craft paints might work as well and save the Joe blow guy money. My two cents. That's a mean looking car!
I think that's how Alan Kulwicki started...the short tracks of Wisconsin. And, I can attest to enamel paints on tires. Back in the day, I tried enamel on tires to make wide white walls on some of my car kits.
Yup, a lot of Wisco racers and others got their starts the same ways. Thanks for taking time to watch and comment! 'Like' the FB page for the channel and join the fun if you haven't already! facebook.com/hpiguysworkshop
I love your builds, I just wish the models were more accurate. The Scamp and the Swinger were nearly identical, I owned a 70 Swinger and my son still owns a 71 Scamp, this model has a Swinger grill, the Scamp had the same grill as the Duster.
Whole front end (body wise) is different really. Different fenders and hood. Darts/demons had the corners of the hood turned towards the fender and the fender has an angle too, so the nose of the hood sticks out a bit more (similar to early mustangs). While Scamps/Dusters have the "flat" hood, where the front of the hood is a flat line right to the fenders. Nothing is interchangeable between the two. They call this a valiant scamp, but as a guy who owns a 72 valiant scamp, it isn't.
@@Lustle The model is a Swinger, Swinger hood, grill and bumper/rollpan. As long as you change every body part(fenders, grill and bumper), the front end of a Swinger will bolt on to a Scamp and vise-a-versa, the body lines are identical, only the wheel openings are different(square cut on the Scamp, swept back on the Swinger).
@@nathanadrian7797 Oh I know it's a swinger lol. Specifically its a 1970 (two tail lights, not four like a 71/72). Been around mopars my whole life. And that's what I meant by "interchangeable". You can't take a hood off a dart and put it on a scamp, or a fender. You'd have to switch out the whole front end.
@@Lustle It's a crying shame that the model companies can't get it right! I come from a large family of Mopar nuts, you could say that it's in my blood. Mopar or no car!

If AMT wanted to be really detailed on this kit, the tires would have been Hoosiers or McCreary.. My Dad and Grandfather raced an actual Richard Petty Kit car in the late 70s, early 80s. It was a Volarie. They ordered it straight from Petty Enterprise
Impossible to diagnose what goes wrong based on a comment, sorry man! Strip with Super Clean and try again. Clean body, light coats. Practice makes it easier.
I love this kit, but why would they describe it as a Scamp when it has a Dart Swinger front end instead of the expected Plymouth front end? Nevermind, I still want one!
Actually, it's not a Scamp. It's a Dodge Dart Swinger. Essentially the same car, but the front end of the Dart was different from the Plymouth. It's too bad you can't build it showroom stock; no model company makes a post-1969 Dart or Valiant hardtop.
You can get one stock body from the resin aftermarket. I got a nice one a few years ago, havan't built it yet. Sorry i can't remember who produced it. Search eBay for Resin model kits
Hi, I really enjoy your builds and have tried to watch all of them. I am a little anal , (lol) so I do sand the seams a little more, I loved your build on the green and white 57 ford, so I decided to built one myself. The biggest problem I have is the paint. I have tried Rustoleum in the past and even on this build and for some reason it just doesn't want to dry. It seems it takes days to completely dry. DO you have any ideas on what I might be doing wrong. I use touch tone primer which is enamel base. On most of my cars I use dupli-color paint that I get at my local auto store , but Rustoleum has should a great variety of colors. Sorry for the long post. :-)
There is another kit that's a Dart, yes, the box art has the Petty colors. Thanks for taking time to watch and comment! 'Like' the FB page for the channel and join the fun if you haven't already! facebook.com/hpiguysworkshop

I wonder if that 2X Key Lime comes close to Sublime Green?
Love it Chris. Another lovely build!

May I ask if your spray booth vents to the outside?
Nope, into the basement room I use. I wear a respirator.
It's a blower
I used the same primer and paints as you and almost all my paints cracked or bubbled, any ideas as to why?
Impossible to diagnose what goes wrong based on a comment, sorry man!
Strip with Super Clean and try again. Clean body, light coats. Practice makes it easier.
@@hpiguy Thank you

I'm awaiting the R.M.S Titanic build. I'm a bit of a expert on the ship :)
I'd avoid my video then. I'm not an expert and do not pass myself or the kit off as one.
@@hpiguyoh dont worry. :)
I wont criticise you ...... too much lol
The old Richard petty kit.

I love this kit, but why would they describe it as a Scamp when it has a Dart Swinger front end instead of the expected Plymouth front end?
Nevermind, I still want one!
Rear end cooler
Behind seat is oil cooler and next to gas tank is battery

Actually, it's not a Scamp. It's a Dodge Dart Swinger. Essentially the same car, but the front end of the Dart was different from the Plymouth. It's too bad you can't build it showroom stock; no model company makes a post-1969 Dart or Valiant hardtop.
You can get one stock body from the resin aftermarket. I got a nice one a few years ago, havan't built it yet. Sorry i can't remember who produced it.
Search eBay for Resin model kits
That back filter in ur paint booth is dirty u need to change it
Hi, I really enjoy your builds and have tried to watch all of them. I am a little anal , (lol) so I do sand the seams a little more, I loved your build on the green and white 57 ford, so I decided to built one myself. The biggest problem I have is the paint. I have tried Rustoleum in the past and even on this build and for some reason it just doesn't want to dry. It seems it takes days to completely dry. DO you have any ideas on what I might be doing wrong. I use touch tone primer which is enamel base.
On most of my cars I use dupli-color paint that I get at my local auto store , but Rustoleum has should a great variety of colors. Sorry for the long post. :-)

If my memory serves me well, that is a Dodge Dart.
There is another kit that's a Dart, yes, the box art has the Petty colors.
