That looks fantastic!

Here's my version of the AMT 1970 Dodge Challenger in as close to F4 Green as I could get. I used Createx Pearl Lime with a few drops of Createx Opaque Black to darken the color. I used Createx 4053 High Gloss Clear and gave it the wet-sand, polish, and wax treatment. I used Bare Metal Foil for all of the trim, using the foil under paint technique for the Challenger side script. For the kit supplied separate vinyl top I just airbrushed on Apple Barrel English Ivy Green with a mixture of satin and matte clear. For the interior I used embossing powder for the carpet and used Apple Barrel English Ivy Green for the seats, carpet, door panels, and dashboard. I just used multiple browns and a slight drybrush of black for the woodgrain. Kit decals were used for the gauges. I used a mixture of orange and red craft paint for the engine, and added spark plug wires and a coil for extra detail. I used Ammo by mig matte aluminum for the wheels, added valve stems foe added detail, and sanded the tire tread. A decent kit considering the age of the tooling, it was lacking a bit in details, but the overall fit was pretty good. I do have some update videos on my youtube channel for anybody that might be interested. As always, thanks for looking!

I have been using Createx for a few years now and love them! One should not wet sand the colors, but after at least 72 hours of drying/curing the clears can be carefully wet sanded. While Hobby lobby has a smaller selection of their paints, spraygunner.com seems to carry their whole line. I have a couple of tutorials concerning the clears on my youtube channel if anyone is interested.

Looks great!

Very nice!

Very nice!

Very nicely done! I agree it is a bit of a simplified kit, as were all of the old Monogram 1/24 scale muscle car kits, but generally pretty nice kits as well.

Nice looking Mustang!

Very nice! I love the color!

Just recently completed my second build of this kit. The color was custom mixed using all Createx paints, Pearl Tangerine, Opaque Black, and Pearl Red. I used Createx 4053 High Gloss Clear, wet-sanded, polished, and waxed. I then added Bare Metal Foil for the trim and then applied the decals. I used the kit decals for the tires, painted the spokes with the body color, and added valve stems for the wheels. The engine color was custom mixed using craft paints and I added heater hoses and spark plug wires for extra detail. The interior was painted in Createx Opaque White with black embossing powder for carpet. I used BMF for the trim along with the kit woodgrain decals. Copper wire was used for the door lock knobs. I used the automatic transmission and corresponding rear end on this one and the fitment was spot-on compared to my first build using the 4 speed and that corresponding rear end which had to be adjusted for proper fitment. Otherwise, a great kit of one of my favorite cars, I really enjoyed the build. Thanks for looking!
