(More customer reviews)This kit shares the same problem as the original TV series tie-in model of the General. (No surprise... same mold.) It's the wrong type of Charger. You'd need to use the decals & a few detail parts of this kit along with the Revell/Monogram 68 Charger kit to make an accurate General. The R/M kit has the correct body style with the "tunnel" rear window.

The 2005 movie release of The Dukes of Hazzard, based on the hit television series, follows the adventures of "good old boy" cousins, Bo and Luke Duke, cousin Daisy and moonshine running Uncle Jesse who tries to save the family farm from being destroyed by Boss Hogg. The movie stars the famed "General Lee" 1969 orange Dodge Charger! The General Lee was generally considered a 1969 Dodge Charger R/T with the 440-cubic-inch Magnum V8 engine, although a number of variations were used. Body color was Hemi Orange with flat black around the taillights, a Confederate Flag on the roof with General Lee spelled out to the side of it, 01 on both doors. Over 300 Dodge Chargers were used on the show because of the wrecks need to make the show. This is the biggest reason today collectors do not want to see another new Dukes of Hazzard movie filmed. At least 3-4 general Lee cars were used per episode. As for the General Lee's horn, it was discovered when the production crew, on their way to start shooting, passed a car with a horn that tooted the first 12 notes of Dixie. The crew made an immediate 180-degree turn, pursued the carful of kids, and motioned to them to pull over. The crew kept offering the kids money until they finally just opened the hood, pulled the horn out, and sold it to them. Needless to say, the crew could have purchased in a store for much less!
