Revell Fast & Furious Dominic’s 1970 Dodge Charger

Kit No. 85-4319

Dominic Toretto’s black 1970 Dodge Charger has become one of the most famous movie muscle cars of all time, combining brutal Mopar styling with an enormous exposed supercharger and aggressive street-racing attitude. Revell’s 1/25 scale kit recreates the iconic Charger from the original Fast & Furious films with detailed engine components, authentic body styling, and movie-inspired presentation.

The kit captures the Charger’s unmistakable stance, massive rear tires, and towering blower setup while providing a detailed chassis, interior, and engine bay. For many builders, this kit represents the perfect combination of classic American muscle and modern movie nostalgia.

Builder & Reviewer Feedback

Builders consistently praise the kit for:

• Excellent body proportions

• Aggressive movie-accurate stance

• Detailed supercharged engine

• Strong shelf presence

• Good overall fit

• Fun, straightforward assembly

• Excellent black paint showcase potential

Forum builders and movie car enthusiasts frequently describe the Charger as one of Revell’s most visually impressive movie tie-in kits, especially when carefully finished in deep gloss black with polished chrome details.

Reviewers commonly highlight:

• Excellent engine detail

• Impressive blower assembly

• Strong chassis detail

• Good tire and wheel appearance

• Great value for a licensed movie kit

However, builders also mention a few common challenges:

• Gloss black paint requires careful surface prep

• Chrome cleanup needed on some parts

• Blower alignment benefits from dry fitting

• Large body panels may need sanding/polishing

• Decals require patience for best results

Many experienced builders note that black finishes are unforgiving, making body preparation and polishing especially important to achieve the dramatic “hero car” appearance seen in the films.

FineScale-style forum discussions often recommend multiple clear coats followed by wet sanding and polishing to achieve the deep cinematic gloss associated with Dom’s Charger. (forum.finescale.com)
