Fanof69 Posted July 13, 2016 Posted July 13, 2016 Hello All. This is the Revell Streetburner kit. I took a few liberties that might go against the true T/A package. First being that I painted the hood body color instead of black and only painted the hood scoop black. Secondly I used the pedestal wing style rear spoiler instead of the flush mounted one( I liked the way it look a little more) that all the pics on google show for the T/A,. From what I can tell the wing pedestal spoiler was used on the R/T, yet they give you both in the kit that is labeled as a T/A and only comes with T/A decals. Maybe one of the Mopar guys on here can straighten that out for me. Oh and if that is the incorrect spoiler for the T/A then I doubled down on the wrongness and put the T/A decal on it Thirdly and maybe the biggest liberty I took was to strip all the chrome parts and paint them black. I also did this with the wheels but that made it look like it had steel wheels with all the hub caps missing, so I repainted them aluminum. Oh one more thing. I used the black BMF around the front and rear windows and had nothing but problems with it. I had not used the black BMF before so I'm not sure if that is typical or If I got a bad sheet. Anyway enough rambling. On to the pics. Thanks for looking!!
Hubert Rollins Posted July 13, 2016 Posted July 13, 2016 I really like the look!! The aluminum on those wheels really pop!! One tip: Drip some thinned down black into the holes on the wheels and they will really look good!! Great work!!
Roadrunner Posted July 13, 2016 Posted July 13, 2016 Very cool. I never grow weary of looking at Challengers.
Xingu Posted July 13, 2016 Posted July 13, 2016 Nice. I like the blacked out treatment. Interested to hear if others have had trouble with the black BMF. I have a few models I would like to use it on.

landman Posted July 14, 2016 Posted July 14, 2016 Beautiful rendition of a beautiful car. Looks like you have a nice property as well.
slusher Posted July 14, 2016 Posted July 14, 2016 Very nice Challenger. I just don't care for the wheels painted. Black foil is really a pain. It is thick and if burnished much will wear the black off...
nicknkim14 Posted July 14, 2016 Posted July 14, 2016 Yes, I had a similar problem myself with black bmf...btw the car looks great....
David G. Posted July 14, 2016 Posted July 14, 2016 Nice paint and detail- good clean build, looks great!David G.
Snake45 Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 I kinda like it! A bit of a different look, but without looking too radical or far-out in any way.
Mike C Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 That's a nice clean build. You managed to get a good shot of the interior too.
