'70 Dodge Challenger T/A

[NYNS Franky]

Wrapped up another one, having time off has been very productive in the hobby room.  This is the 1/24 Revell kit from 2004 (thats what the decal sheet said).  Tons of flash, but if you take your time cleaning it up you are rewarded with a beautiful model.  I'll try to remember everything that I did on this kit.  Starting with the body the front valance is incorrect, or maybe I should say modeled incorrectly.  So I glued and blended the valance into the fenders, and scribed the panel lines in the front where they belong.  I forgot to take pictures of the interior before it was installed but I used embossing powder for the carpet, added seat belts, and used white glue for the gauge lenses.  As for the engine / engine compartment I did ignition wires, a positive battery cable, fuel lines, vacuum lines, and brake lines.  The body is painted Model Masters Panther Pink enamel that I picked up years ago, wet sanded and polished out.  On to the pics, hope you like it and questions and constructive critisim are always welcome.  Forgot to mention the due to the massive flash on the parts the chrome tree was no exception, so the bumpers were stripped, cleaned, front license plate bracket removed, and repainted using Alclad chrome.

Nicely done. Love the color on the 'Cuda.

Excellent work! Great detailing and the paint looks fantastic.

Beautiful paint work. I like how you did the chassis detailing. Not everyone remembers that MoPar din't paint lower control arms. That color of the rust treatment looks perfect.

[Belugawrx]

Nice paint bro !...

Cheers

[Curt]

Very clean build, Frank.  Nicely done!

[Snake45]

Magnificent! Your paint is spectacular!

[jaymcminn]

Absolutely beautiful. Amazing paint and detailing. This kit dates back to the mid-80's but still builds up really well for a skilled modeler- yours is living proof!

[Modlbldr]

Beautiful detail work on it! Love the colors on both of them. Outstanding job. I'll just send mine to you to build. Don't worry, I'll send return postage along.

Later-

[iamsuperdan]

Wow. Excellent work!

[Hmann68]

Outstanding!! A fantastic job all the way around! I did this one a few years back in the same color and I really wish I would have fixed that valance like you did. Heck, I wish the whole car looked like yours does! 

[ChrisR]

Awesome!

[Geno]

I'm drooling Frank. Both are exceptional.

Thanks for the positive comments!  Funny but after looking at pics that I post I always find something I forgot.  This time was the trunk lock, will have to add a dot of chrome there.  Also have to add an antenna when I get a chance.  I was really impressed with this paint.  Laid down really nice and used about half of the small jar, you do have to thin it.

I have to say that is about the nicest build of the T/A I have seen.  Very good job.
