1972 Dodge Challenger.

Hey guys, my first build of the new year. Not the best kit but I think it came out pretty good. A lot of fit issues and flash. I used craft acrylic paint threw a airbrush. Pretty much box stock except the wheels and tires. Thanks for looking and comments welcome.

I like it

I’ve got a couple of these in my stash, the box art is horrible, but it’s the only game in town for the year. You’ve done a fabulous job on this build, and have changed my mind about how good this can look when done! If you know, what wheels and tires did you use ? I say if you know, cause we all have the parts bins of stuff with no clue where it came from, lol.

Thanks guys for the kind words. Here are the wheels and tires I used.

Looks very, very good! Your finish with that craft acrylic paint is really nice. I hope to experiment with some of this this year. Well done and model on!

Nice. Didn't know this kit existed.

Passed on this kit a squillion times cuz the box art made the kit look so toy-like. Your build is clean and mean; will have to pick one up and throw on some evil meats like you've done.

Did you add a smoke tint to the headlights? They have a nice depth to them.

Thanks for the comments. The headlights were done with a very thin black wash.

Thanks guys. I really appreciate all the comments.

I used 50%paint and 50%windshield washer fluid and yes I clear coat when paint is dry. I also use a airbrush. Works great.

Thanks Chris.

That looks great!

Digging that color and stance!

[Hmann68]

Very cool and love the wheels and tires!

Beautiful job!

[donb]

That is a beautiful color for sure. And the car looks outstanding as well. I also need to try those water colors.
