Love the Nostalgia Funny Cars and this Revell Duster defiantly represents an accurate Nostalgia Funny Car! 👍👍
Thank you very much. This is my next build. And thank you for being so natural when talking about the build.
Thank you for the kind words Greg, It's a FUN kit that I'm sure you will enjoy!!!!!!!!!! Let me know how it urns out and If you have any questions during the build feel free to ask.
YEP, nice finish……..
I did learn something from this video…
That’s what’s important……
CHRIS from OHIO 🇺🇸
Well cool, so glad to hear that Chris!!!!!!!!!!! 🙂😊
Vintage Monogram. My favorite kit manufacturer as a kid in the 70s 😀
I agree!! 👍🙂
I think shredding the cotton ball to simulate smoke was my favorite tip! Nice work!
Cool, that was fun!! 🙂
I didn't realize what a fun and cool kit this would be. Thanks for sharing Tim!!
It's a good kit!!
funny how lots of guys say you can't get a good paint job out of a can but just look at that kit nice looking build might need to add this to my lets build list thanks Tim enjoyed looking forward to the next video
So very true 😊👍🙂
I agree! I've built a few of those too. They're very nice kits. Another little tip about the slicks, Once you've glued them together and sanded them paint them with Tamiya TS-82. That totally eliminates the seam and gives them a real tire look. I do this on all my builds. Great build! Love the color!
Aaaaa great tip Frank, thanks for sharing!
Mr Tim your Duster turned out great!!👌👌👌
Glad you think so! 👍🙂
Very well done, Tim. Both the model and the video. 😉👍
Many thanks! 👍🙂👍
A great build and some pretty useful tips and tricks shared Tim! Good job done! Thanks for sharing, take care and keep up the good work my friend.
Thanks, you too George!
Killer build! I built this in the 70s when it was the Monogram Cop Out.
Very cool!!!!!
Kooool!!!! Love those Dusters and Demons!!!
I agree Mark!!
Very nice funny car build Tim. I remember these as the Cop Out.😊
Thank you David. Yes, the Cop Out was the popular one. 👍
I’m not a MODEL CAR guy…
But I do appreciate the hard work MODEL CAR BUILDERS put into their subjects
The finishes and details are right up there with AIRCRAFT
ARMOR, SHIPS,
I’ve been watching your channel for a couple of years now…
I ALWAYS ENJOY YOUR VIDEOS, and your SWAP MEETS and IPMS shows…
I like this review, maybe just maybe, I might build a car
( I like trucks 30 40 50s )
vintage
Those round fenders and cabs
even with a little rust on it
I’ll keep watching…
CHRIS from OHIO 🇺🇸
They sure are fun to build Chris. What's amazing there seems to be almost any model kit and subject out there you would be interested in!!
Awesome! Good Job on the decals! They look great. 🐌
Thanks a bunch! 🙂👍
That came out awesome Tim!! That paint and clear is my all time favorite to use!!
Thank you Jason!! Oh yea, that paint sprayed from the can is hard to beat. 👍
Looks great Tim! I almost left the light bar of of mine as well but in the end I used it. Great build, great tips, great video. Thanks for sharing. Have a great week.
-David
Thank you, you have a great week too David!!!
Just started this kit! Had to rewatch this video for reference! Great build, can't wait to get into it!!!
Cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 👍🏁👍
That is such a cool build!!! I love old funny cars and gassers. Man that paint and clear came out really nice and glossy. I like how you left the hood red and didn't paint it black like the box art shows, either way is fine, but the car looks really nice all one color like that. I also like how you show what products you use like the clear glue for the glass. I use mod podge for gluing in the glass as it dries crystal clear also. Thanks for showing your body paint stand also, has inspired me to build one myself. I figure some wire coat hangers cut and bent and drill some holes in a wide flat piece of wood. Good build and thanks for sharing. Oh and I Love the last photo of the video showing the burnout with the cotton balls, I do that also. 😂 👍👍👍
Aaaaaaaa very cool!!!!!!!!!! So glad you enjoyed the vid 👍🙂😊
Nice work Brother, I also built the COP OUT as a kid.. Even then I wished those back tires were ONE PIECE because they were really cool looking wrinkled at the bottom..😎👍
So very true Jimmy! 👍🙂
Great job, Tim. 🤓👍
Thank you 🙂👍
Nice to see you back at the bench ,Tim..Great build 👍😎
Thanks Pete 🙂 so glad you enjoyed!! 👍
I'm glad to see the kit re-released👍😎
@@petesmodelcarcustoms584 Yes, me too. If I was Revell I would release that kit every year with different decals. Maybe twice a year (every kit with different decals). They could really get some mileage out of that kit from the guys who are into Nostalgia Funny Cars! 🔥👍🙂
@@THROTTLEPOWER 🤣🤣Wow,you do like them🤣you'll be wearing the moulds out 🤣👍🍻😎
Very cool! Great tips on building it. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Alan, glad you liked it!
Great build Tim very cool thanks for sharing 👍🏻
Thanks, so glad you enjoyed it!! 😊👍🙂
Thats a nice kit to build Tim. Couldn't help myself i bought 2, just awesome .....thanks for sharing.
Right on, you can never have to many of those kits!
The funny car came out awesome Tim. I'm a flame junkie also. LOL. Ron
🔥🔥Oh yea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🔥🔥 Gotta love flames Ron. 🙂
YEP!!!
@@ronstewart9792 👍🔥🔥👍
I had it as Tom McEwen's Mongoose along with the Don Prudhomme Snake 🐍 back in '71. A couple years later my neighbor got it as the Cop Out. Back then I didn't notice the wrinkle slicks molded in the right direction for one side. Guess it was because I was just thrilled to have these kits.
Oh yea, those are 3 great kits Kenny!! 👍🙂
@@THROTTLEPOWER got the Snake and Mongoose combo set several years back (or more like a couple decades by now). Can't wait to get back to modeling again with all of current and updated tips. But the bad side of life keeps gettin in the way. 😤
@@kennyspaulding796 I understand that, there is always something going on.
Great build Tim thanks for sharing.
Thank you Jerry, glad you liked it!!
👀WOW. Excellent 😍🤗 👍🏼
Thanks 🤗 👍
Neat kit 👍 great tips
Right on 👍🙂
D stick them, thats gold man
Thank you, glad you think so!!
Awesome job Tim, and Thanks for the tips!👍👌
Thank you Dan, glad you liked it!!!! 👍🙂
I've never built this kit. I have an old Cop Out but it has never made it to the bench. Love the Flashpoint livery and hope to pick one up soon. Great Video Tim!!! Thanks for sharing
Thanks Mike, glad you enjoyed the vid! The Cop Out is a good ol' kit that you will have to build some time. Heck, maybe both of them/these at the same time.... 🙂
Your doing a hell of a job on this channel. Your production quality is very well done. Had me a flex I file for some time and they are great for tubes. I sand my chrome seams first also..makes it a lot easier to see them. Great stuff, thanks for sharing.
Thank you so very much for the kind words! Yes, the Flex I File helps out a lot. 👍🙂
Really nice build Tim. Yes it been out in many different versions I'm glad the body was molded in white now just need duster last stand decals.
So very true, glad you enjoyed!!!!
Very nice build. The kit seems to go together well with no real issues. Nice to see you building again. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Michael, so glad you like it!!
Turned out awesome Tim!!
Thank you Tom!
great tips and tricks,awesome build and detail work
Thank you, glad you liked it!
Nice kit and build love the cop out looking forward to getting it and building also thanks Tim
Right on Jeff, so glad you enjoyed it!
Hey there brother! Missed your build videos, glad your back. Great work!!!
Thank you for the kind words Jamie, glad you liked the Duster!
@THROTTLEPOWER your welcome brother!
@@jamiepowell3405 👍👍
Turned out great, Tim. I need to pick up a couple of these kits.
So glad you liked it!!!!
Nicely done my friend! I have an earlier Mattel Hot Wheels Mongoose Duster and Snake Cuda that are still unbuilt. After seeing this I think I need to drag (no pun intended) them out and get to work on them.
Heck yea Daniel, it's time to DRAG them out!!!!! 🙂👍😊
Chicago Tony saying hi. Man nice build. I love how you explaine your prosses and give the tips! Thanks for the cool vid as always. Always watching
Thank you for the kind words Chicago Tony, so glad you enjoyed!! 👍
Awesome video Back in the 1990s I used a lot of testers 1814 clear coat
Very cool Paul, so glad you enjoyed!
@@THROTTLEPOWER getting some work done to the yenko pro street build for tonight's club meeting with Luka cee and gang lol going to be hot hot hot here in Glendale Arizona we are supposed to hit 118 or higher on Wednesday and in the teens all week
@@paulcasarez404 Cool, I'll watch Luks's video from the meeting and keep an eye out for the Camaro if your taking it there. Going to club meetings is always fun!! Yes, that's HOT 🔥🔥
Thanks Tim AWESOME build been using those tricks a long time in with some variations... ...like you I've built that kit many times and the 57 Chevy kit with the same chassis and still have one cop out version on the shelf...and one from the 90s unbuilt... That new release I got to get a few of them soon! And the cuda/challenger one!!
Oh yea, so very true John!
Thanks for sharing Tim!!! I’ve used the Erving red, great paint!!!!
Right on Terry!
I get all kinds of inspiration from going to car shows in my area. Not much in the way of drag racing around me, but car shows up the wazzu! I'll have to get me one of those flex files. I couuld use it!
Oh yea, seems like I have 100 model ideas in my head when I get home from a car show. Love my Flex File and think you will like it too!
Very cool build up Tim! I use the same clear but decanted. Love the stuff.
Cool........... Love that clear it's defiantly good stuff!
Great job. Love it. I'm a huge Mopar fan. I would of done Toms Mongoose dragster. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks! 👍 The Mongoose would be a cool one to do!
Sweet build
Thank you
Thanks for the tips and tricks Tim...cheers
Any time! Thank you for the kind comments... 🙂

Thanks! 👍
That come out nice Tim
Thank you Frank, I'm glad you liked it
Sweet!! I love it.
Glad you like it!
Loved the build Tim excellent video brother ❤
Awesome thank you Shawn! Your package arrived safe and sound. 🙂
Nice job!! I've actually got the cop out version of this kit. Seeing this makes me want to go dig it out
Cool, the Cop Out is a fun build and looks great when finished!!!
really great video sir!
Thank you kindly!
Great build! I've been waiting to get this one. Ive always loved the Cop Out version. I think the mongoose version is also the same kit. Thanks for sharing!
Yes, you are right, it's the same.
Great build Tim! I have both Flashpoint and Cop Out. I'm really looking forward to building them. Thanks for the video 😎👍
Cool, hope you enjoy building them! 🙂👍😊
A very nice box stock build Tim. Some great tips for a nice clean build. A re-pop of a Monogram vintage kit. 1st released as the Mongoose or Snake funny cars. Good stuff Tim. Thanks.
Your right Rick and so glad you enjoyed the vid!
This kit actually started out in 1970 as the Monogram Hot Wheels Mongoo$e Duster Funny Car molded in Red Plastic with Blue tinted windows, Along with its Hot Wheels Snake 70 Cuda Team Car molded Yellow Plastic with Blue tinted glass also ,Through The years both have been reproduced with different decals and different box arts, They brought the original two cars back out as a 2-car set leaving out to Coca-Cola sponsorship on the quarter panels a few years ago, So this is basically the Hot Wheels Mongoo$e Duster with new decals.
So very true Harold!
all time kool kits of the 70's....I use bleach for de-chrome...takes less than a minute...just be very carefull , when handleling bleach....but yeah , works great....nice build vid Tim , Thanx
Robert
Cool, thanks for the info Robert!
reminder when usin' th bleach , also...you wanna go ahead & do a test piece of sprue , from th parts you intend to do...just to be on th safe side...never kno , I always do a test piece 1st...havva good one Tim , KUTGW
@@RJDCR Good advice RJ
Great work man, love it
Appreciate it!
Nice build... I have the cop out version of this kit..unbuilt for now
Cool, that's a great kit!
Nice work- I’m itching to do a funny car - the old style. Last time was early’70s I think it was a larger scale though-? Don "The Snake" Prudhomme's Vega Funny Car
Oh yea, those are cool to build!!!!!
Nice video Tom👍
Thank you, so glad you enjoyed it!!! 👍🙂
Belle vidéo 👌 😉
🙂 Thank you Alain 👍 😊
@@THROTTLEPOWER 👍 😉 🇺🇸
@@alaindunkerque59 🙂
Looks like we have similar taste in race cars.
👍👍🙂
Hi Tim, great build enjoyed how you went about building and painting . I was wondering what you use for stripping the chrome parts. You seemed to get a great result. Thanks for your help
Thank you Paul, so glad you liked the build. Purple Power, I think I showed the Jug around the 7.00 - 7.30 mark. It works really well.
Maybe those models make pretty good for contacts
I think so
Nice 😅
Thanks 😅
Hey Tim, I just got my hotel in Louisville for Street Rod nats. I'll be going on Friday. which day u going? Can't wait!! C ya
Cool........ Wednesday - Sunday
@@THROTTLEPOWER UR going every day? I thought it was F-S-Su
Very cool! Never had this duster, but the chassis looks so familiar. Is it the same chassis with 57 chevy bloom crazy? I had that kit in the late 80's, very well designed easy to put together😎👍🏻
Thank you, so glad you liked it.... No, the 57 has a more modern chassis as this one would be the same as the Cop Out Duster, yellow Snake Duster and the red Mongoose Duster. But yes, you are right about the 57, it was very well designed and easy to put together. Man that 57 Funny Car sure brings back some great memories!
@@THROTTLEPOWER sorry, my bad. It was "plum crazy" not "bloom crazy" 😂. But yeah, wish they would re release that plum crazy.
@@askoseppanen3779 Your right, that does have the same chassis. I was thinking about the red 57 that has a newer chassis. So yea, the black plum crazy 57 is the same!!!!!!! Wow, I completely forgot about the black one.
@@askoseppanen3779 Yea, I wish they would rerelease that too!!!
Yep, my ex would tell me...put your wrinkle on correctly!😲
So true!! 🙂
That’s actually an old Monogram kit , 1/24 scale kits were always Monogram not Revell
It's a good ol' kit David!
