bogger44 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 It's been a long time coming, but I finally got something finished this year. It's been a long time coming for me to build this kit, too. My parents bought it for me way back when it was first released and I was something like 11 or 12 years old, and it's been lurking in the stash ever since. Needless to say, I think it came out better now than if I had built it back then Lol! I added AMT pad printed redline tires, added a correct air cleaner from the Revell 67 GTX, and scratched some torque boxes for the chassis. The rear suspension was raised a tad as well. I wanted my Hemi Runner in a subtle, unassuming color, so I decided on Tamiya TS-61 Nato Green. The color is a little darker than the pictures show. I cleared it with some Testors Glosscote laquer, and then polished it out with Meguiars Scratch X. And yes, those are the clunky kit supplied tail lights, I just went with them and paint detailed them the best I could. I wish the pictures showed it better and hadn't washed them out, but I used Testors dark red from the little bottle on the tail lights and it looks really good IMO. Oh yeah, and the poor exhaust tips were ditched and some aluminum tubing took their place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snake45 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Wow, not what I was expecting when I clicked. You exceeded my expectations! That color looks great. It's very similar to, what, F5 Green, which looks SO good on these '68-'69 B-bodies. Well done and model on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6bblbird Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 You did good! Not a fan of green cars ( I actually owned a green '68 road runner at one time. Looked like an Army staff car! lol) but the paint finish on yours is terrific. WF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 I like the understated look. The Red Lies fit the car perfectly. These cars always looked like they were "coming off the line" when they were sitting still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
