Here is a model I finished not long ago using Revel's 68 Charger.   The model went together fine and I finished it with Scalefinishes OEM 661 Dark Green Metallic.   I did find out on GraveyardCarz that Dodge painted the black area then masked off and covered over the green.  However I did it backwards, so next time I guess I will paint in the correct order.  The bright work is all all Alclad

 

Thanks for any comments.

Man, that's my favorite Mopar!

 

Great build Robert!

Looks great, the colour really suits it. That's a very nice, clean build.

 

The only thing I had trouble with on that kit was the tail panel and rear lamps, which I had a difficult job getting lined up straight for some reason. Yours looks fine though.

Nice.

Nice charger, that shade of green looks very good on it....

Sorry, but the bumble bee stripe on a 1/1 - 1968-70 Dodge Charger was a decal not painted on

 

BUT, The bumblebee stripe on a 1970 Challenger as an example WAS painted on and before body color was applied

Gtx6970. You are correct, and the model does with a decal, but it looks like a sticker, so I painted, however point taken.

I love the car. Is it my monitor or does that green appear olive to anyone else?
