YBlock292 Posted June 25, 2016 Posted June 25, 2016 Finally done: 1969 Dodge Charger R/T 1:25 (Revell). This rare color combination was available with the car back in the day. I used Tamiya spray (orange metallic/sand) which came quite close. I wanted to create an "elegant" looking Charger, not the often shown "mean" looking black painted Chargers (of course a 69 Charger is definitely mean by nature :-) All parts are out of the box. Very precise, it was fun to build. But I was to lazy to do all the wiring and plumbing under the hood.
TooOld Posted June 25, 2016 Posted June 25, 2016 Beautifully done ! And they don't always need all of the plumbing done to be a winning model , your's is a perfect example of that !
mustang1989 Posted June 25, 2016 Posted June 25, 2016 Man you really treated that kit to a superb build. The paint finish is perfect.
W-Machine Posted June 25, 2016 Posted June 25, 2016 Excellent color choices for the exterior and vinyl top give it such a nice, factory-fresh look.
bbowser Posted June 25, 2016 Posted June 25, 2016 Great color combination, clean, crisp detailing, you nailed it! A gentleman's hot rod.
GTJUNIOR Posted June 25, 2016 Posted June 25, 2016 I like this very much. It has an understated gentleman racer look to it. Well done.
Harry Joy Posted June 25, 2016 Posted June 25, 2016 Very nice. I have wondered about trying some of the PS line from Tamiya, but no one I've asked knows how well it sprays on styrene. Did you have to do anything special?
RAMBENNA Posted June 25, 2016 Posted June 25, 2016 man that is fantastic, looks perfect very nice job
Codi Posted June 25, 2016 Posted June 25, 2016 Very nicely detailed. Your assembly reflects the entire build. Had to check a couple pics to be sure it was the model and not the "real deal". cheers, tim
Lovefordgalaxie Posted June 25, 2016 Posted June 25, 2016 Great job getting this one done. It looks great... For a mopar
mod3l Lover Posted June 25, 2016 Posted June 25, 2016 I love every inch of this car!! It's soawesome, great job. One of my fondest memories wasin a friends brother's '69 383 car. wehad to find out how fast we could getthat car to go!?! Just shy of 140 mphon a local highway here in Wisconsin. That was a heart pounder!! David S.
Robberbaron Posted June 26, 2016 Posted June 26, 2016 Really, REALLY like this build. Great color combo, attention to detail, and just super clean.I particularly like the well executed blue tint on the top of the windshield, and the white stripe tires. We don't see those too often on muscle cars nowadays, so it's easy to forget how many of them originally came with white stripe tires.
YBlock292 Posted June 26, 2016 Author Posted June 26, 2016 Thank You very much for Your comments and kind words!@ Harry Joy: I use Tamiya sprays of the "TS"-series which are especially produced for that sort of plastic our model kits are usually made of. Once I bought a can of "PS" Tamiya spray without noticing it was the wrong spray and it did not stick to the ground and simply built "noses" on the body of the car.I can recommend Tamiya's "TS"-sprays. I use them for all my builds along with white primer, also from Tamiya, because they work very well together.
