...well not really, this is about as far "from green"Β  as one can get.Β  😏 πŸ˜‰Β  GMP's 1970 Plymouth GTX hardtop is, arguably, still the best 1/18 B-body 1968-1970 Mopar replicas produced. HW61s are VERY close but lack the "heft"Β  and some unique features.

GMP's thoughtful execution includes everything found on the 1:1. Sure, a few parts are a bit crooked & some panel gaps are noticeable & it sits a bit high... but overall, it's still impressive. And those working scale window cranks are something I wish I could find on ALL models.

Very impressive model Chris. Working window cranks are a level above. I agree that the full sized version is about as far from the modern interpretation of β€˜green’, as you can get.

Spectacular car and pictures Chris. The only green I would worry about with is car is keeping the green paint clean.

These GMP Mopars have to be among the "most detail for the money" out there.Β  I had the yellow RR convertible & loved it..though the hardtops look much better to me.Β  Love this green over tan!
