RDean58 Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 I finally got a finish on this body that I can live with! Interior is almost done as well. This will have a 440 six pack with the carb setup from Fireball Model works. Thanks for looking! Comments welcomed.
shoopdog Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 That's looks extremely nice. What brand Panther Pink is that and is rattle can or airbrushed?

shoopdog Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 Thanks! That has to be the best Panther Pink I have seen, will be picking up a can. You laid it down really well!
RDean58 Posted March 13, 2019 Author Posted March 13, 2019 Thanks! I mean, there are some little does in it and if you look really close in real life (they don't show up in pictures) it's not perfect. I was painting it in a dusty environment and had some trouble with floating particles in the air. I have had really good results using the Testors' paints so the problems I've had with these (all my chargers) I think is caused by my painting area. However, since I live in South Dakota and there is snow all around me right now, this is the only place I can paint so will have to live with it until summer, if that ever comes :-)
shoopdog Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 (edited) Sorry to go on and on but what is the green on the Daytona and the red Charger? Disregard, went back through your workbench post and answered my question! I like that Park Green. Edited March 13, 2019 by shoopdog
RDean58 Posted March 18, 2019 Author Posted March 18, 2019 The Panther Pink is sitting on it's wheels, I'm just waiting for the auto trans I ordered from B-N-L resins and the six pack setup I ordered from Fireball Model works. How about a rainbow shot? Thanks for looking, comments welcomed.
Slimguy Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 Nothing better than a Charger in Panther Pink...love it.
Furiousgeorge Posted March 20, 2019 Posted March 20, 2019 The six pacs from Fireball are awesome! I put them on a ‘70 GTX and they look great! I have a bunch of different carbs and wheels from them, and his stuff is top notch!

There are some cars that will look good in just about ANY color, and the Charger definitely is one of those!
RDean58 Posted March 25, 2019 Author Posted March 25, 2019 I decided to get about 3 of these because of the left over engines I have from all the Charger kits I have. The 68 kit comes with 2 engines, a 440 and a 426 Hemi, both pretty much completed except there is only one transmission (a 4 speed). Since I wanted to use the engines in other kits I and could not find any resin 4 speeds, I'd go with some autos. I really like the B-N-L transmissions, they clean up easy and look good once attached to the engine. One is destined to go in the Panther Pink 70 Charger. The way it shows up, a nice little 3 piece unit. After being assembled and painted and super glued to the back of a Revell 440 engine from a Charger kit.
