My first new 1/24 purchase in many years! Really nicely executed, interior as well, at only $40 brand-new!

A major error is that the rear section of the roof behind the landau "vinyl" top should be body color. Wonder how such a mistake makes it all the way through production without anyone realizing it 🤔 

Regardless, it's beautiful and it's a MOPAR so I love it anyway!

Beautiful paint! I also love the use of the photo-etched badgings! The scripts on the headlight door and side fenders are magnificent. 

 

Edit: To illustrate your point on the body color for roof rear:

Yes! How do they do it at only $40 retail?

Very nice. I would love to see that in 1:43. The large Chrysler, Plymouth and Dodge cars from this era are really quite nice. I drove a 4-door version of the Royal Monaco as a rental for a weekend. I loved it.

Ah HA! I thought it looked different. It was labeled as a Royal but I didn't have your model open to compare. There is a big difference.

That is a great looking model Barry. I don't see how the do them for that price, but then again, I've gotten all of my Salvat, etc. branded models at great prices. And man are they well done. 😊

@jcarnutz  I have this one (a '74) in 1/43. It's also available in several other colors.

I have that one too and one other in blue. But the 2dr & 4dr later Royal Monaco with the covered headlights are my favorite.

theres also this color as well, which I've just ordered, as it seemed to be one of only 2 I could find. Could be another 'white Falcon' so I didnt hesitate this time.

I believe this was the first color IOX released it in.  I waited to long to get one before they disappeared.
