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!.

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.

Excellent work so far converting this too a work turn, good work on the trim removal.

Regular 91% rubbing alcohol will remove this era AMT chrome very easily..............ask me how I know ?

Took a little bit more than a week, EMS was slow this time, but here it is , I plan on doing a comparison video on my YT channel

New from Hasegawa , release date is late Aug

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.

Tamiya is doing their version of BMF its call "Aluminum stickers"

Hasegawa /Tamiya On display, Nissan Silvia (S110) Early Model HT 2000ZSE-X (1979), Third KITZ Toyota 92C-V 1992 Le Mans, Nissan Fairlady Z (Z32) 300ZX 2 by 2 (1993) And then from Tamiya, the new Street Custom Zed

It is that time of the year ,( rubbing hands together in an exciting motion), so far, everything being shown has already been announced, but for a few of them , getting our first look. Lets start with Aoshima, on display is the street version Delorean( as seen in the other thread), the new GR86 kits( based on the original Toyota 86 tooling) two version being offered, stock and with custom wheel, and their snap kit 1/24th 2000GTR Skyline, will be offered in different colors

Here's a built one on display at the show

Yep, like James said, from the factory https://www.chevrolet.co.uk/en/

Thank you for watching !, your build has made want to do one too ?

Me too Carl ?

I am curious if the fender flares for the Hellcat be a separate.

Yeah, I seen your post, those big boxes don't ship over from Japan very cheap, when you refresh funds defiantly get one, good kit.

3 More of these showed up , I have no idea how that happened ?

Looks fantastic, you nailed the look perfectly, well done.

Yeah thats a bit much, for $106 thats a hard pass.

Super excited for the new tractor kit, I love the Easy Click kits.

AZ DPS, Phoenix PD and US Custom & Border Protection.

IIRC, he put up the money for the tooling , its his project and SJR is just doing the production part.

This is how it looks with the wheels/tires from Lindberg Charger, some modification will be needed for a good fit( why its on the side)

Some recent failures at reducing the stash
