Thanks, gents!

I dont have any immediate plans for the Charger, it has been like a guilty pleasure for a while. I was looking at the orange, and when it sold (damnit) I jumped on this. Was cheap too, like 80 euros.

Actually, pretty lightweight, but I'll get a precise (bathroom scales) measurement tonight.

It is metal or composite material?

It's pretty standard diecast and plastic, but lots more plastic than you might expect. I'll try to take a few more pictures and post up a proper review in the right forum.

Love the Charger. Straight six (?) engine with 3 carburators look pretty damn good on this model but I think it will look fantastic when you detail it with wires and pipes.

Allowing for windage, about 5.5 pounds.

Is that a GMP?

Muscle cars aren't on my list but I have to admit that is a really good looking model. Even as is, that engine bay looks really nice.

Great addition!
