Bronzekeg Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 picked out today at hobby lobby on sale for 18.00. also got the 69 super bee for 20.00. plus there are more mopars in the stash that need to be built, so it looks like chrysler products for a while. comments and criticisms are welcome and thanks for looking.

Ceaser_Salad Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 Great kit, just... don't melt it. Also a warning, the decals are a little brittle. Just be careful with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronzekeg Posted December 9, 2021 Author Share Posted December 9, 2021 thanks for the heads up guys. I did manage to spend some time on the engine. I usually am a fan of box art but this angle of the car is horrible on the box top. I will be saving the kit wheels for a super bee in the future, so mine won't be completely out of the box build. more later. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattilacken Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 (edited) Looks good! And looks like a good start! There are some quite easy visual improvements to make on that kit to make it look even better if you are interested.

Bronzekeg Posted December 10, 2021 Author Share Posted December 10, 2021 thanks guys for the input and kind words, I did get the chassis painted with the exhausts and driveline done. tire treads have been sanded and sidewalls scuffed. when you stick the engine in the frame and see the size comparison it's no wonder the real cars are so valuable. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See if you can find some 30awg wire wrapping wire for the next one. It looks just the right size. Edited December 11, 2021 by NOBLNG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronzekeg Posted December 13, 2021 Author Share Posted December 13, 2021 thanks all for input and following, the dash board and interior are moving right along. not really a big fan of the billboard stripes so it probably won't have them. I did manage to get paint on the body and will start painting the details in a day or two. that's all for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronzekeg Posted December 14, 2021 Author Share Posted December 14, 2021 the paint on the body is dry and I have started painting the trim. it usually goes quickly so I can put the glass and interior in the body. last time I ordered bmf every single sheet was bad so i've been painting trim on my last builds.

Bronzekeg Posted December 15, 2021 Author Share Posted December 15, 2021 a few pictures of what is being worked on. rear is pretty much done working on grille. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David G. Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 Great color choice! Nice paintwork on the trim too. It's a shame about the BMF, I have a couple of sheets that I ordered earlier this year. I hope I get lucky with them but I fear that I won't. David G.

Bronzekeg Posted December 15, 2021 Author Share Posted December 15, 2021 a little more progress made and a few more photos. I am not using the rear wing or window louvers that came with the kit. more to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
