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.

Hemi dual quad air cleaners.
gtx6970 replied to Brutalform's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
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 -
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

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.

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. -

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

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.

Its decaled i'll post a few pictures later today Not The Ramchargers car either

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

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. -

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 -
