bluestringer Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 The fast and furious movie Charger, but instead of painting it black I went with Tamiya light blue. The build went good until it came time to put frame and body together. It would not fit, the front is way too high and I couldn't figure out what is wrong. Tried getting the frame to fit further into the body, but it would not go. The radiator frame was was all the way to the body and it wasn't going further. Don't know what happened unless I put it in wrong, but I don't think I did. The firewall top was at the body and on the frame so it wasn't going further either. At least I think I'm improving my painting. Anyway here it is. Thanks for looking, all comments welcome. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLHCAHZ Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 Looks great! Has that "about to launch" look to it. The paint work and engine detailing are top notch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in the day we would jack up the back and front like that, but this one needed to be a little lower in the front with a little rake to it.

espo Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 I haven't built this kit but wonder if the stance has to do with the basic kit itself. I think the box art shows the model sitting much like this. The paint finish looks great, and the engine detailing is good as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
