71 Charger RT " Daytona Style" - MADE IN BRAZIL

Awesome looking build!!! Even with the door, trunk, and panel lines being too extreme it's still a great model that YOU built...

It's nicely built, for sure... but those stark black panel lines just scream "model."

Real panel lines wouldn't be black, they would be a darker shade of body color. By making them black, you immediately draw attention to them, and emphasize a feature that in real life you wouldn't even notice! That's why black panel lines look "modelish" and not realistic... they are too obvious.

Another problem with this model: the spoiler is too low. The trunk can't open. On the real Daytonas and Superbirds, they raised the spoiler up as high as they did to allow the trunklid to open on the street cars.

Beautiful work, but I'm biased, i built one like this back around 2001! I like your color scheme better than mine, I wish I had though of a contrasting color for the wing area myself!

I got around that little issue by mounting my wing to the trunk. Not entirely feasible in the real world, but I wanted a lower wing like Uelder, it just looks wrong when it's way up in the air on this body style.

Besides guys, it's a model, not a real car, ease up a bit! What are we, Military modelers now? :blink:
