rastta Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 (edited) The Chevelle is the German Revell kit and the Charger is a US Revell kit. Both excellent kits with great detail, good fitment and limited flashing. Wanted to do something different with both - and so I opted to do a Black exterior and red interior on the Chevelle. The build is primarily stock - with a couple little enhancements like the chrome rear axle cover. It was airbrushed with Testors Classic Black on the exterior. Interior was a mix of three different reds. Decided not to chrome the lower trim on the car as I like the look without it. The Charger was done up as a modified stock car. Did it in the one coat Testors Root Beer Lacquer, and the interior is again a mix of two browns and a tan. Modified the headers that came with the kit to fit the 440 engine and mufflers. Came out OK - but I'd do it differently next time. Added a bunch of chrome to the engine bay and the wheels and tires were from the parts bin. Other than that it's pretty much stock. Bummed I didn't get an interior picture before I assembled it. Edited December 17, 2019 by rastta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool Hand Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Chevelle got my attention, like black and red combo. Good job on the Charger too. Wise colour selections they work well together. Both builds are great and have a good amount of detail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
