I mix my own colors, I'll call the paint supplier for the formula. and go with a much finer flake pigment to try and keep the color more in scale. Thanks to all for compliments Andy Such
Revell kit of the 2009 Challenger, but it was painted in the 2011 special edition paint scheme. Refinished in PPG lacquers, DuPont urethane clear coat. Minimal wiring and plumbing.
Tamaya kit, 1:20 scale. All the wiring and plumbing details are scratch built. No after market parts were used at all. Refinished in PPG lacquers and DuPont urethane clear coat. This was a fun built, but very time consuming due to all of the weird plumbing details.
Tamaya kit (This thing is small. More like working on a 1:32) This car fought me all the way but I managed to whoop it's butt. Wired and plumbed as much as I could. Scratch built the dash, clutch linkage, throttle cable, and battery details. Refinished in BASF lacquers British racing green with DuPont urethane clear coat.
