  1. A minor set back Found out this morning the seats are supposed to have a white band where I had painted dark red stripe. Where as the dark red is in lower band. After some struggling with myself I decided to correct it. Aka not fun.
  2. My aluminum version is correct for a 1966-1969 Hemi the Doesn't the Revell '67 GTX kit have it? I think only the newer version of the 67 GTX has the correct chrome dome air cleaner in it . The version that has the yellow car or maybe the black and yellow st machine version ,,,I think ????? Ive bought at least one of each of these and I have 2 of the correct air cleaners . But Im not sure which kit I go the air cleaner from ( maybe they both have it ) But Im afraid I need them for upcoming builds I have several of the Sox Martin versions and none of them have the right air cleaner If you want the aluminum one. I just need ship to address Bill
  3. MUCH better. Same exact paint ( Pumpkin orange from True Value ) Trans case shows it painted over grey primer Engine repainted over white primer and is much closer to the original light orange . Trans will be brush painted flat aluminum
  4. I think I have a machined aluminum one if u want it. I'll look tomorrow and see if I can find it
  5. Revell 68 gtx just has a base Look at the Revell 68 69 charger ?
  6. Ps. Best I remember the wheelbase is slightly different between the 2 as well. Just dont remember which one was longer
  7. hood scoop is from I think the Lindberg Color Me Gone Dodge as well as the entire drivetrain Chassis if from the 64 Plymouth as the Dodge chassis is too wide for the Johan body
  8. Using this article for reference https://www.motortrend.com/features/1964-wax-wedge-dodge/photos
  9. Simply taped up the entire seat / door panel . Then cut the areas I wanted darker with a sharp exacto blade. Sprayed the dark red right over the Italian red. Floor is done same way Silver accents on door panels is brush painted with flat aluminum and a new fine brush. door handles are fusion chrome Its not exactly what I was going for...but I can live with it.
  10. Seats Tamiya Italion red. w / Tamiya dark red accents. Tamiya satin clear top coat.
  11. Its decaled. Clear later this week Not likely this one will be done by years end .
  12. Now you got me thinking. I dont have those decals
  13. Nice. I think this kit is one of Revells best ever. I have i think 6 done and in the case. Plus I think I have kits and decals to build another 3 or 4 in the pile.
  14. I normally use a paint from True Value I think it's called safety orange maybe The 1/ 1 color has much more yellow to it than this one. My ultimate goal looks like so
  15. I'll ck. Im not 100% sure if it will stay this color Its a little darker than it should be for early max wedge.
  16. Its decaled i'll post a few pictures later today Not The Ramchargers car either
  17. good guesses but nope. A hint. The body is painted the color it's going to be. The car was restored, and semi actively campaigned up until a few years ago. Steppenwolf
  18. Just for laughs on a Saturday nite Anyone dare a guess Which car I have planned
  19. Thanks gents. They definitely have a face only a mother would love. Its not my favorite body style. But the more I worked on this one. The more I liked it. And it's definitely one of my favorites in the case . Doing that quarter glass and trim was done with the car completely assembled. ( I dont recommended that method btw , tedious is an understatement ) I should have done it while building the car. But sadly, wasn't paying close enough attention to the photos of the actual car I have. All's well that ends well I guess.
  20. Who knows All depends on what i find in the pile i guess. I do have a couple started . Just not sure which ones gonna end up back on the bench 1st This is most likely my last finished one for this year
  21. They say its a fine line between bravery and stupidity. Well, I decided to see just how fine. And made , and glued in some quarter windows to make it a sedan body. Using a spare body I have, took some tape to the inside of the body and drew out the shape and transferred that to some clear acetate sheet. Painted some small sprue pieces in a color pretty close to the body. I do NOT recommend this to anyone I held my breath the entire time . Good thing I used clear Elmers glue JUST in case I screwed it up I felt like I had a chance to correct it. So, with Fingers crossed dove in. NOW its done and up in my case
