This kit is from Revell 1/25 scale. After my Charger was finished in the Race version, I continued straight away with the Factory Stock version. I usually paint the body first because that's the biggest thrill for me, making sure nothing goes wrong. I also have a second engine with an engine stand. I want to upgrade this again with metal parts and ignition cables. I just ordered the parts for this engine from Mr.Model in Brazil. A new chrome color for me should arrive in the next few days. This is Super Chrome from AK. I'm curious to see how this can be processed. I completed the engine for the compartment in the car on this weekend. The decal for the air filter was a disaster. Despite warm water, decal set and sol and using a hairdryer, it cracked when applied. The stripes over the rear, on the other hand, were quite easy to apply (seen for this kit).

That is nice project. Perfect built.

I have this Revell kit twice, the first was built in the racing version, the second is currently being worked on as a stock version. Since each kit comes with 2 complete engines (including engine stand), I have a detailed engine for each model to set up next to the respective vehicle. I left the tires and rims from an old AMT kit and used them here because I liked the wide rear tires on the model. I installed etched parts from MBM on the vehicle. Aluminum parts on the engine from MrModel from Brazil. The construction presented me with some challenges due to poor fit at times. I always have to pull myself together to continue with the second model. The decals are also a disaster. Despite Micro Set and Mocro Sol, they were almost impossible to apply. Even using a hairdryer didn't help. They were as stiff as a board and they didn't allow masses of plasticizer to be put in all the beads. I've built 1/32 planes with lots of decals, but this hasn't happened to me yet.

You did an awesome work with your painting. I like this two color tones of the old Citroën. In my stock there is waiting a DS-19 from EBBRO. -
To my 60th birthday, my wife had a great idea. The present for me was 2 hour driving with a Lamborghini Gallardo. I drove from my house a country road to the highway near by and back. It was amazing, a dream was going reality. Unfortunately there was much traffic on the highway, so it was only possible to drive a top speed of 235 km/h. The sound, the experience and the feeling was great. The engine in this car is a V10 with over 500 HP, top-speed 318 km/h. So I want to built this car. I found the kit from Fujimi with photo-etched parts (important for the grills). The rims from Hobby Design, the carbon decals und safety belts from Scale Production. The color ist Lamborghini Orange Metallic from Zero Paints. Alclad II for the metal parts (magnesium for the rims, like the real ones). The license plates are printed at home like the real plates are. This is the car, I want to built: This is the result: Some pictures from inside:

Great job. Nice painting and finish.

This pickup ist built from the MPC kit 1/25. It was the most terrible kit, witch I have ever built. The time to built the Pontiac was nearly 2 years with many breaks. Sometimes I want to throw it into the trash can. But now I`m ready. The color ist from Zero Paints (Light Blue for Mercedes 300SL) with a 2K clear coat. The front lights are from scale production, the bumpers painted witz ALCLAD II Chrome and the windshield frame ist Baremetal Foil. I like the decals from the kit and the look of the car.

It‘s a awesome car. I like the Dodge Charger from this time. Nice color and a nice built. ?

A really „great“ kit. Good work till now.

This kit is from AMT. The colors I used are from Zero Paints. The primer was light grey from AK. The biggest problem was the front window. At the connection to the roof there was a 1,5mm gap. I first don`t want to use the sunvisor. So I painted it chrome and "closed" the gaps at the upper side of the window. The remaining gaps at the side I filled with white glue and painted them white with a brush. The tailgate is moveable and fixed with mini magnets. The chain is titanium and so there is no problem with the magnets. The headlights are from Scale Production.

A nice car Andy. I like your Hudson and the two tone color at the body and inside. The details of the engine are great.

@vamach1 in witch location of the cinema is the meeting? In the restaurant? I want to visit the club on Tuesday. See you.

@Jim B I think it was a normal kit, no special @Chevy II I hope that I know the colors this time. I think it was Tamiya Buff und sand yellow or desert yellow. The wooden parts are painted first with Vallejo old wood, than oil paint burnt sienna and at last Tamiya clear orange

I built this car from a Revell 1/25 kit in spring 2021 in only 6 weeks. This is the fastest car built I ever did. The colors are vom Tamiya the clearcoat from Glasurit. I had much fun by building this fine car. The clearcoat is not perfect and the car a little bit dusty.

Great job. I like this 1:12 oldtimer from Italeri.
-
A really „great“ car. Fine built.
-
Fantastic paintwork on a beautiful Ferrari. This is a perfect surface, I think I never will reach this perfection.

Very nice car. I like the color and now I know, what a moonshinner looked like.
