Boss JD Hogg Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 (edited) Hi everyone, My name is Mike, live in NY and I'm a big Dukes Of Hazzard fan and recently came upon this forum. I've been watching the DOH since it first aired back in 1979. I have all 7 seasons on DVD as well as the 2 TV reunion movies and watch the show often. One of my hobbies is building model kits so I will be starting a General Lee model build soon and will post it here at the forum. As you can see from my user name I'm a big fan of Boss Hogg. I'm happy to be a member here and hope to make some friends with you all. Mike aka 'Boss JD Hogg' Edited July 29, 2015 by Boss JD Hogg Quote
Roth Potter Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 what kit are you going to use for your General Lee? I have a Revell Muscle 1969 Charger myself.I heard that the wheels from a Corvette Stingray model kit are the best your going to get for the Dukes wheels. Quote
RogerDuke Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 Nice to have you here Boss.I'm from Erie County Pennsylvania so if you're from western NY we're in the same neck of the woods. Quote
HossC Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 Welcome to HNet, Mike. You're the second model maker who's joined recently. I look forward to your General Lee pics. Quote
Boss JD Hogg Posted July 30, 2015 Author Posted July 30, 2015 RogerDuke - I'm from Howard Beach, Queens, NY. Roth Potter - I do have 2 of the Revell 1969 Dodge Chargers in the stash. However for this build I'll be using a newer issue MPC General Lee kit from Round 2. It has the correct rear window. I have a correct 1969 hood from an MPC Charger 500 kit that will replace the incorrect 1970 hood that comes in the GL kit. I also have a 440 which will replace the kit's Hemi engine. The wheels from either the AMT Ecklers Corvette or the AMT 1969 Riviera kit are better than the MPC GL wheels. I have a set of those for this build as well. A friend also made me much more accurate decals with a correctly sized flag for the roof. I really want to see what I can do to modify the MPC kit before I start one of my Revell GL builds. I'll keep you all posted on the progress as soon as I get started. Thanks guys for the warm welcome! I'm happy to be among friends. Quote
