The people designing these are either foreigners or they just lack the sense of detail that aficionado's possess.

I think they were giving the builder the option of building a SuperBee. The R/T had the sign up on the front fender. In '69, they incorporated it with the tail stripe. The picture on the box shows the Super Bee show car, which was a convertible. 1968 SuperBee's came only as a pillared coupe.

Here is the convertible with the correct butt stripe. Also the completed trailer done up in U-Haul orange.

You can get a 3d printed 68 Coronet in bigger scales also, I am thinking he can make these all the way up to a 1/10 or possibly a 1/8 scale. I bought a 1/18 scale Maverick from this guy and it's a pretty decent kit. Dodge Coronet 1968 | 3D Print Model

The stainless trim is Bare Metal chrome foil, which is sticky on one side. You measure the length of the trim you want to cover, and cut a strip slightly wider than the trim. You press it down with your finger, and burnish it with a Q-tip. This shines up the chrome, and firmly presses it in place. You trim the foil to the correct size by running a sharp Exacto knife blade down the molded chrome trim lines. For long pieces like side chrome, I do it in 2 pieces: front of front fender to rear of door. Then rear quarter from rear of door to end of rear fender. For small chrome bits, you can buy a chrome paint dispenser pen at hobby shops. Toothpicks are also my friends for daubing paint, like battery caps and other small painted items.

Here is what I do to help keep the lines straighter on the trim. I use the thinnest fine line tape available as a guide.It helps a lot if your like me and have shaky hands
