Today on the Monster Hobbies Model Car Garage we will be looking at the excellent 1964 Plymouth Belvedere Model Kit By Lindberg/Model King. This is a model car unboxing video. 

The 1964 Belvedere (and corresponding Fury hardtop coupes) featured a new "slant-back" roofline that proved to be popular, and sales improved significantly over the previous design.

The 1964 Belvedere was also the car used to introduce the 426 Chrysler Hemi engine, which used a canted large-valve arrangement. This was such a significant high-RPM breathing improvement that Hemi-equipped Plymouth Belvederes won first, second, and third at NASCAR's 1964 Daytona race. One of the winning drivers was Richard Petty. - Wikipedia

The 1964 Plymouth Belvedere Model Kit By Lindberg/Model King is an excellent model car kit. It hasn't been re-issued too many times since it first appeared in 2006.

This kit was created from all new tooling when Lindberg was at war with AMT, Revell, Monogram, Tamyia, Hasegawa and other manufacturers to create the world's best model car kits. Therefore, a lot of new features in model kit design functionality came into practice. 

We get two engines in this model car kit, the 225 cu in "Slant 6" Inline 6 and the 383 cu in V8. 

Let's take a look at the kit's 21 piece 383 cu in V8 engine first. You get left and right hand side engine / transmission pieces, an intake manifold, front cover, oil pan, oil filter, valve covers, carburetor, air cleaner, distributor, coil, starter, exhaust manifolds, alternator, belts and pulleys, fan, and upper and lower radiator hoses. 

Next, we look at the kit's optional 27 piece 225 cu in "Slant 6" Inline 6. You get left and right hand side engine and separate transmission pieces, an intake manifold, front cover, oil pan, oil pump and filter, valve cover, valve cover breather cap, carburetor, air cleaner top and bottom with snorkel, distributor base and cap, coil, starter, exhaust manifold, header pipe, alternator, belts and pulleys, front engine cover & water pump, fan, and upper and lower radiator hoses. This engine looks like a real Slant Six and it's great that Lindberg made an engine that is lacking in the model car world, which is odd considering the Slant Six had a real world production run lasting from 1959-1983. 

Wheels are made up of five pieces : inner wheel, wheel retainer, tire, white wall insert, and outer wheel. 

The interior on the Lindberg/Model King 1964 Plymouth Belvedere model car comprises of 17 parts : instrument cluster, dashboard, floor pedals, dashboard instrument cluster panel,  steering column with steering wheel, door panels, door handles, chrome gear shift lever, floor pan, 2-piece bucket seats, rear bench seat, and rear view mirror. These parts look correct to the real 1964 Plymouth Belvedere and paint up nicely. 

Underneath the car you get a full uni-body frame, K-member with tie rod, front spindles, torsion bars, cross member, stabilizer bar, 2-piece differential, rear leaf springs, rear shocks,  and drive shaft. Under the hood you get a radiator wall, radiator, horns, battery, master cylinder, inner fender aprons, and firewall. 

The body for the 1964 Plymouth Belvedere Model Kit By Lindberg is a work of art. It includes a separate hood with upper chrome grille bar, hood hinges, grille, windshield, side glass and rear window, quad headlights, transparent red tail lights, tail light bezels, licence plate shroud, windshield wiper blades, side mirrors, hood ornament, front and rear bumper.

The rest of the Lindberg 1964 Plymouth Belvedere Model Kit model car kit features non-plated body moldings, so there's more chrome trim you need to add with some Bare Metal Foil. It's a lot of work, but the finished result will be worth it!
