Keef Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Iāve been looking for this kit forever to add to my stash! Iāll be following this one closely to see how it builds upĀ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotnitro? Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Can't wait to see your buildĀ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronzekeg Posted January 21, 2022 Author Share Posted January 21, 2022 well so far the engine builds up pretty nice. not crazy about a metal axle in front but I don't think you'll see much of it on the finished build. I'm using all testors and krylon paints on everything but the body. it will be model master lacquer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rightrudder Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Looks great! The Challenger really is one of the cleaner muscle car designs, IMO, and it oughta really pop in mango orange. What paint/color did you use for the exhaust manifolds? They look just right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOBLNG Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Yes, engine colours look good. Is it my eyes, or does that coil wire go to the vacuum canister? But withĀ the air cleaner on it just looks like a vacuum tube.š Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronzekeg Posted January 22, 2022 Author Share Posted January 22, 2022 mocked up chassis and body to work on tire sizes and rim offsets. finally happy with them so I can move on painting the rear suspension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronzekeg Posted January 22, 2022 Author Share Posted January 22, 2022 I got the suspensions painted and assembled and the driveline mounted. still need rear shocks mounted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichCostello Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 I didn't know that Revell made a 1/25 scale Challenger. I'd really like to have one of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronzekeg Posted January 22, 2022 Author Share Posted January 22, 2022 small update, I got the rear shocks mounted to finish the chassis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rightrudder Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Looks great!! Bold choice on the green shocks...looks just right.Ā Having done the T-Bird chassis, I can fully appreciate the work that goes into cleaning up the mold seams on the exhaust alone!

Bronzekeg Posted January 24, 2022 Author Share Posted January 24, 2022 I got the engine compartment paintedĀ in go mango and most of the items detail painted. I really like the orange. next move is an all black interior. so far it's a pretty nice kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonhawk1066 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Looking good so far, theĀ Go Mango is a really nice color and will look great on that car! I would love to come by that kit, I recently built the much more common 1/24 Challenger T/A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
