  1. Will Trent's Porsche 911 Targa I got a coating of clear on the body and other painted parts. Now for some assembly.
  2. 2021 Dodge Charger R/T The Story McNally stops at a large dealership in Chelsea that had a car he was interested in. The car was a 2021 Dodge Charger R/T in Bright Blue Pearl with a Black interior. It has power everything and an 8-speed automatic transmission. It was a beautiful car and more like something he could surveil in compared to the 2010 Charger Super Bee in Orange Pearl that he had now. But, the insurance company didn’t like the bullet holes, blown out rear window or body or the slipping transmission. The Super Bee was junk! He takes the car out for a test drive and the salesman did nothing, but talk and talk and it was driving McNally crazy! McNally finally spoke up! “Please be respectful and quiet while I test drive this car!” The salesman says, “I’m giving you the facts about the car. How it drives, its many features…” “I have a 2010 Dodge Charger SRT8 Super Bee. It is basically the same car as this one. If you don’t shut up, I’ll hog tie you and stuff a rag in your mouth. Understand,” says McNally? “I understand. Sorry,” replies the salesman. After the test drive, McNally turns down the offer for the car which he thought that it was too much money and he walks away. He’ll let Victor Arronsky buy the car and offer him the car at a substantial discount. The Build I fired up the paintbooth this afternoon and painted most of the remaining parts in the kit in various shades of black.
  3. Thank you Mario, James, Robert, David, Eric, Garry, Donato, Dennis, Bill and Carl! I had won a bid for this kit and the rest is history! This was the first time I had won a bid for anything!
  4. They are! Thank you michelle, Lee, L M, and Jeff!
  5. I built this 68 Charger R/T many, many years ago from the Dick Landy Charger kit by Revell. The headers, air cleaner, wheels and tires came from my parts box.
  6. 2021 Dodge Charger R/T The Story It was almost dinner time and McNally stops at Mario’s Back Bay Pizzeria to talk to Zach. “Hey Zach!” “Hi Mc! Been a while. How have you been?” “Good! Can we talk?” “Sure,” says Zach and he leads McNally down to the other end of the counter. “What’s up?” “Someone has a contract out on me. Can you help?” “Sure! I need a few minutes. Hang loose!” Zach pulls out his cellphone and he calls a mate who puts him in touch with someone else. Zach puts his cellphone back in his pocket and he walks back to the end of the counter with a small piece of paper and he hands it to McNally. McNally shakes Zach’s hand and he palms him a $20 bill, turns and walks out. The Build I assembled the wheels and tires. The body is ready for paint and the chassis is partially assembled. The Build The wheels and tires have been assembled. The body is ready for paint and the chassis is partially assembled.
  7. That is the same color I used on my Lotus Europa Twin Cam Special. I didn't use any clear on the Lotus. Your Charger is looking good!
  8. Looks great! What paint and color is that blue?
  9. Thanks John! I don't have high hopes for an AMT model which is why I stick to Revell and other brands. The less work I do, the happier I am! LOL
  10. I'm glad that there is more than one '21 Charger R/T being built on the forum. Looking to see yours done!
  11. Thanks Steve! 2021 Dodge Charger R/T The Story As McNally leaves the Hospital, he knows that the hour is late and he should go home and have sometimes to eat. When he gets home, he finds Charlotte Rothmann upstairs in his bedroom packing the rest of her clothes and is startled by him. She wanted to leave him, but before she left him, she wanted to pack up the rest of her things and leave him a note on the kitchen counter and leave. Not this time. She was leaving him since she can't put up with his dangerous job. The Build I felt like I should patch the hole up and I did. Since I now know the the hole is covered, I just felt that I should do it anyway. No one has said anything about the firewall. McNally will return...
  12. 2021 Dodge Charger R/T The Story McNally gets a ride to the Hospital to talk with the remaining suspect who is still alive. He enters the room and the cop guarding him steps out. He pulls his Smith & Wesson Model 4506 from his should holster and sticks the nose of the gun in the suspects should and causes him much pain. "Who sent you after me?" McNally again sticks the gun into the suspects should and the pain is unbearable and he repeats the question, "Who sent you after me?" "Dean MaComber and he works for Dean Anderson." McNally sticks his gun back in his shoulder holster and leaves the room and the cop walks back in to guard his prisoner. The Build Typical AMT! Fitment issues! The first picture is the strut cover on the left side with the body attached. Note the gap which I will have to fill. The second and third picture shows the firewall in place after I modified the firewall mounting points and lowered the firewall some. The unmodified firewall would stand as least the width of the plastic above the chassis. I wonder what else I will find? I thought AMT would have done away with these issues!

    Impala

    I avoid the forward metal axle by replacing it with short plastic rods the size of the axle. I glue them on so they don't roll on the table. I even did this to the Revell Foose Ford FD-100 pickup.
  14. I once saw a 3rd Gen Hemi in a new Charger and the Hemi Orange showed up in a small 1X1 inch corner of the engine. I feel that a Hemi is painted Orange no matter what generation it is.
  15. Thank you everyone! I appreciate it!
  16. Thanks Dennis and David! David, I hope you can figure out your problem with the paint on your Charger! 2021 Dodge Charger R/T The Story The female cop was Casey Westerfield who has sold him her old 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee LTD V8 and she has shot the man attempting to shoot him in the back. She had identified herself to McNally and they had chatted together for a few minutes. He even thanked her for saving his life to which she was extremely grateful. The Build The engine was assembled and already I am deviating from the instructions. The instructions calls for paint the engine an assortment of blacks and silvers, but I'm going to paint the engine block Street Hemi Orange.
  17. 2021 Dodge Charger R/T The Build Guilherme Rosa (my friend) gave me this kit last Sunday at the CPMC Expo and he suggested maybe to add my McNally character to it. What a great idea! I have changed my mind about the color though. I am using Tamiya TS-54 Light Metallic Blue instead of the Tamiya TS-89 Pearl Blue. No one is related to anybody living or deceased. The Story With the road chase ended, McNally has the time to sit and reflect upon his actions. A cop had wounded the last person who had tried to kill the Boston, PI and she was waiting to tell her story to Lt. Det. Adam Troy. What is true is that a contract has been issued on McNally and it has cost him his relationship with Attorney Charlotte Rothmann and now McNally is a man all alone in Boston.
  18. I have finished my '66 GTO and it is posted in Under Glass. I would like to thank all those who have viewed and have commented on my WIP.
  19. This is my '66 Pontiac GTO painted with Tamiya TS-87 Titanium Gold with a Tamiya TS-6 Matt Black interior, Hurst wheels and Goodyear White Lettered Tires and a Hurst T-Handle shifter.
  20. I painted the body today in Tamiya AS-15 Tan. I thought it came out pretty good. Now to decide if I want to add the words to the side of the car.
  21. After a month and a half, I decided to add another coat of clear to the '66 GTO. Looks really good!
  22. Two of my many Chargers in my collection. My 1969 Dodge Charger 500 and my 2010 Dodge Charger SRT8 Super Bee.
  23. I got this kit and I noticed a bunch of short shots. So much for building it right away. I contacted Revell of Germany and sent them pictures and a listing of the parts and numbers of the offending parts and I had new parts in about a week. Good luck with yours John!
