Very beautiful built

Very nice car with a wonderful color.

@Simo5555 I used photoetched parts from a small german manufacturer (mbm-munich.com) for the grills. With the signs these grills are built from 6 different parts.

What a sharp car and a nice built.

Thatˋ s a nice car Michelle. I like the nice orange color

This Charger ist built from the Revell kit 1/25. The pictures of building this car are in the category WIP:Model Cars Both Charger together And my new Display Plate for the next Exhibition in September with my club in Germany.

Now, the car ist ready. There a 2 pictures from the engine before installing the air cleaner. 1968 Dodge Charger from Revell. More pictures in the category "Under Glass"

Now I begin the wireing of the engine. The ignition cables have the correct firing order in the distributor.

Itˋs an awesome car

Very nice car.

Great job. I cannot believe what I see at your pictures. It´s amazing and I am excited.

Very nice work till yet

Thak you for the tip Ryan. There is a link to a good video on YouTube. I printed the wheels with a photoetched mask. It`s not perfect, but for me better than the decals. And I continued the rollcage and the exhaust of the motor.

Nice color and finish.

While waiting for my aluminum parts, I started my first NASCAR kit from Salvino's JR Models. I'm a bit nervous about all the decals and whether they'll fit into all the joints and recesses without any problems. I'm especially thinking about the ventilation slots on the hood... How the choice and desire to build the model came about: My daughter lived since 6 years in South Florida. During our visit in fall 2022, I watched the playoff of the professional NASCAR series with her and her boyfriend at the NASCAR Speedway Homestaed/Florida, which took place on Sunday, October 23rd, 2022. The winner of the race was Kyle Larson in a 2022 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 with number 5. I found this model at the homepage of Salvinos and I want to built this car. Abaout my first kit from this producer: It is not always immediately clear where a part belong to. The molding ist not perect(always a joy with round pieces). I painted the engine according to the instructions with 5 different metal tones. You should be able to remove the body at the end to look at the interior, but I don't trust to this option. The biggest setback for me was that when assembling the interior, the hole for 2 pins on the first part (which was actually a good assembly specification) was wrong by almost 2 millimeters. Thank God all the parts were "only" fixed with superglue and I was able to break them apart again. After assembling the engine, I was able to test the 6 fixed points on the floor plate that were intended for assembling the whole interieur... and it fit exactly. I hope you understand my explanations in English. I write it in parts with the help of Google translator to practice the language for my next visit in Florida.

My parts from mrmodel finally got through customs and arrived yesterday. When there's time again and at my workbench is a little more space, I'll move on to the engine. My complete order The engine and my new parts for it The Charger is nearly ready, but the weather is fine and so I`m not in my basement for modelling

Graet color and a nice roof.

Nice job. ?

Interesting built with a nice color scheme

Very nice built.

Nice painting. That‘s a good work.

@Nicholas I looked for a color in the car accessories store that was close to the one at the kit box. It is a can from Motip with the color number 51300

Now it went a lot further. The interior is finished and the axles/chassis are installed. A big challenge was assembling and painting the grill from a total of 6 etched parts. The carburettor and air filter were shortened so that the hood closes. The taillights also had to be re-chromed because there were up to 3 sprues per light on the rear edge. Now there are still a few parts missing in the engine compartment and some etched parts for the exterior design. The pulleys for the second engine are currently on their way to me from Brazil.

Thanks you guys for the positive feedback ?

A nice M3. This was a great car. I like it. In my stash is the racing version from the producer Nunu. Before I begin the kit, I‘ m waiting for 3D printed rims from a guy.
