  1. Here is 3 of 4 of the Dodge Charger Pursuit kits I have built, USCBP Dodge Charger Field Ops , Dodge White Knuckle paint from Scalefinishes, a mix of BilBozo decals and mine own ( the door markings and stripe BilBozo, the car numbers and plates are mine) for the most build out of box build, the only changes I made was I swapped the kit supplied partition with the one from Lindbergs Ford CV ,modified to fit, left out the computer and siren. I added corner LED's on the front/rear bumper , I used the kit included fog light clear pieces that are not used, they are close in size, and you get 4!.
  2. Here is AMT's 1995 F-150 long box kit, boring out of box build, Ford Brilliant Blue from Scalefinishes, this is one of many kits from my teenage years that I wanted to rebuild. The blue is a bit dark, I used Mr Surfacer 1500 which is on the dark side, I should of used a lighter grey primer of white. I also forgot about the front suspension being too close to the front bumper , I remembered when I got all assembled, too late to do anything at that point. I also raised the rear part of the leaf springs as this kit always sat low in the rear and its always bothered me. I removed some chrome for the grill trying to the remove the black paint I used from painting the inside of the grill opening, old AMT chrome is not durable, lessened learned,I thought I could get way with air brushing the black in without masking, nope. Overall, pleased with the how looks, there are things could of done better I think. Ignore the left rear tire, I forgot to glue the wheel back in place, so its a bit lose, and I also forgot the chrome trim around the wheel openings, just pretend its there. And some the black trim paint of the front bumper flaked off when taking the pics.
  3. Excellent work so far converting this too a work turn, good work on the trim removal.
  4. Regular 91% rubbing alcohol will remove this era AMT chrome very easily..............ask me how I know ?

  6. New from Hasegawa , release date is late Aug
  7. I have it sitting in my PWH, I got it a few weeks ago after HLJ opened up the orders for it after the pre orders were filled, and now its showing discontinued. Hobby Search on the other hand shows it instock on the Japanese side, it is a bit odd. https://www-1999-co-jp.translate.goog/11077070?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-US I should have it here by the EOW , just waiting for an instock item to hit so I can ship.
