I have two of those, but chose the 2016 version, no optional grill...darn. I'll figure out something!

Really?! Lol....I thought about opening the grill holes, now I may have to , that looks awesome! I just opened the mounting area. Nice work!

I get the....test fit everything. Lots of little stuff as you said, though I don't think I've checked the engine bay for fit yet. Not sure what you did, but in the last pic, you can see I removed the solid area behind the grills, made fitting those much easier and now they set in where they belong. Nice job on your paint

Painted the chassis and interior tub. This is my first flocking/embossing attempt. Decided to finish off the trunk area.

Like in BDSchindler's post, I too started this project around February/March, as a second project. I hesitated starting a post, so as not to jump on his bandwagon. But, they are two builds that won't be the same! Interesting to have the same issues or challenges with the same kit as someone else at the same time! Anyway, here's my progress... started with resin body, using a 2016 kit as a donor. I haven't decided yet to build it plain or customize the body.

Thanks for the confirmation, I have the Tamiya issue, just like the styling of this one also.

Can anyone shed some light on the quality difference of these two kits? Can I assume Revell used the same mold since it was released after the Hasagawa? Thanks

MCW paints are very nice to use. It is actual automotive paint reduced to scale. So other lacquers should be fine, but always do a test shot if unsure or want to see end results before hand.

Sorry, let me clarify. I will be exhausting into the closed room. I would cut a 4" hole in the door

This is for those well versed in negative and positive air pressure. I have an old fruit cellar that I boarded and sealed off years ago. It has a metal foundation vent for outside air, is approximately 6'x8'. If I vent through the door from a paint booth, would the fan be able to exhaust properly. I believe at this point, I may go with a marine engine bay exhaust fan, as suggested from another paint booth build thread. Thanks

Being prompted here last week, I went to HL Saturday(at opening) and also found..one..new Charger kit...now they have one less! Also picked up a spray can of Mr Surfacer primer to try, it lays down very nice!

My first experience with this is when I came home to find a can of caboose red leaked heavily ( maybe entirely) and ran down the wall from a high shelf . Yes, decant them or pitch them!

Bought mine on eBay, type in....white shipping boxes, maybe add a size. But most you can search their listings to find different sizes

From the Buckeye Scale show Saturday. I had to refrain from buying too many this round.

I attended that show today as well as a vendor/customer, but not being an older individual, I still understand what you are saying. While all members seamed busy doing something for the show today, I do remember them helping anyone who accepted the offer in previous years. Truth is, they are also getting older. But your suggestion is a very good idea! Always enjoy this show, keep it up!

I too have started this as a second... third... fourth??... project. Lol. Pulled mine off the shelf a couple weeks ago. I'm finding the same areas that need attention as you are, I haven't tried the rear valance yet though. This resin is very nice to work with, seems more durable than what we use here in the US. I'm debating about some modern customization, or get a second one for that. I haven't decided on the rear of my interior yet either.

I don't know anything about it, but it sure is cool!!

Yes, Mike relocated to the south, yes he will still be making the paint, but the shop in Massillon was sold to someone else and will carry the paint line.

He had stated he was working on more Metalizer finishes, but I haven't checked back. Someone purchased the local hobby shop from him and will continue to carry his paint line... thankfully! Here is another I haven't tried yet.

Update... actually did some frame and body tweaking. The frame was too short and the body was out of square. Got those remedied and started on an engine I chose from Texas 3D. Now I can locate and make mounts for the engine, trans, and transfer case. The valve covers are a color preview....

Thought I'd share this with you all. Mike sold me this a few months ago, just got around to trying it. These are Texas 3D parts with MCW primer. I did not buff the primer, but it still comes out to look like bright aluminum.

Well, like all Rust-Oleum products, it comes out like you are using a garden hose. I found it to have a decent finish, and if I remember correctly it wasn't very durable. IMO...

Share a link to what you make please

Is this still the..."What did you get today" section?
