mopar_guy1 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 (edited) Here is my current project. A 1967 hemi charger. I painted the car factory dark blue metallic E code. Really deep color.

mopar_guy1 Posted December 12, 2012 Author Share Posted December 12, 2012 I've been doing models for quite a long time....But if there is a step that is nerve racking is glueing the windsheild and rear window. Especially on those models, like this one, which the glass is too small leavin less than 1/16 of an inch of plastic on each side to glue on. The winsheil is of, but the rear window is a pain in the butt. I need a beer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mopar_guy1 Posted December 21, 2012 Author Share Posted December 21, 2012 Just finished the glasses and interior is glued to the body. Looks sharp. I'm presently working on the undercarriage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mopar_guy1 Posted December 21, 2012 Author Share Posted December 21, 2012 Where did you get the EE1 Dark Blue paint? I used the GST Blue Pearl 28129 Model Master Acrylic System spray can.
