Painted Testors Hemi Orange rattle can at least 10 years ago I think. Then rumbled around in a box for years , even making a move across country in 2018 I retired in 2023, And finding I have a lot more free time on my hands. So trying to work on the model stash along side house projects in the works Not a whole lot of detail. Real close to box stock I guess, kinda sorta. maybe The Hemi is from the 68 Roadrunner kit. Which is painted with duplcolor Hemi orange engine enamel 'Tires are parts pack items, wheels are from the AMT 71 Duster Rump stripe is an old Fred Cady decal which has turned out to be very fragile . It likes to chip away , even though it has a clear top coat on it after it was applied to the body . Im not super happy with it. BUT,,,,, Its done and in the case. On to the next one.

AMT 1970 SuperBee, another one from the long lost archives
gtx6970 replied to gtx6970's topic in WIP: Model Cars
Not for this kit. Kit had the 5 spoke road wheels Rims are from AMT 1971 Duster Tires are parts pack items PS, And I just realized. The Superbee kit is a 440 six pack . SO,,,, me installing the hemi is a goof up. ( I have multiple of the AMT mopar kits all thrown in one big box ) So technically. It's a long way from boxstock -
found it. Just had a base color mixed in a rattle can locally

I know it's a longshot. I'm looking for a spray can of limelight green No longer available that I can find And yes I know I can get from scale finishes. Just prefer a rattle can if I can find it

I started this kit at least 10 years ago. No idea why it got put away, I found it diggin thru some boxes for pieces for another build. I actually forgot I even had this one. But the time has come to kick it to the finish line. In reality the only thing I needed to build was drivetrain and chassis - suspension. Im keeping it kinda sorta box stock. Only non stock pieces are tires and wheels , Basically because I think it looks better with them I think its old Testors hemi orange ???? And was quite surprised the painted body actually survived unscathed all these years in the box. The white interior has yellowed a touch. But Im not stripping it to change it. Engine is painted Duplicolor hemi orange . As a test I decided to try and paint the Valve covers are painted in the same rattle can of Duplicolor wrinkle paint I used on my 1/1 car,,,,,and surprisingly enough I think they turned out pretty good for such a small scale. Chassis and suspension is just various shades of Metalizer colors -
Nice tip. Thanks.

Chi Town Hustler Challenger AA/FC , DONE ,,,,,, I think
gtx6970 replied to gtx6970's topic in Drag Racing
Changed to better pictures. PS, I'll add here. Getting that rear spoiler on there AFTER its painted was tedious. I thought real hard to just leave it off -
Painted this one a while back Simple rattle can duplicolor red . Slixx decals. On the recent MPC Challenger kit . Built pretty much box stock Fairly simple kit to build. The only mods I did was I widened the rear track width just a touch to pull the tires out closer to the edge of the body. Decals are designed for the Johan body so they don't truly follow the contours of the MPC body like they should. But it is what it is . I'm happy with it
