Hi Kerry! May-I suggest a cognac candy hue? Take Tamya's Titanium silver, and dust a light coat of Tamya's clear orange on it. This is what you will end-up with. But then, just my two cents... CT

Love that build, is it yours??? Hi Kerry! Yes, it is. It was the subject of a post on this very forum about a year ago. I guess you could find it with the search bar, under: 75 Duster scratchbuilt Pro-Mod, or something similar. Here are just three more pics. Enjoy. And to the precise colour combo, I will go back to my notes, to be absolutely certain about the Tamya's colour numbers, and get back to you on this thread ASAP. CT
Claude Thibodeau Posted September 25, 2020 Posted September 25, 2020 Hi Kerry! Turns out it was a good thing that i went back to my notes... I was OK about the light (one coat) overcoat of Tamya's transparent orange (TS-73), BUT... the base colour is indeed Tamya's TS-84, i.e. GOLD, not titanium gold. So: white primer, TS-84 base, one coat TS-73 candy + clear (in my case: Testor's Wet Look Clear). Voilà! CT
Paul Payne Posted November 11, 2020 Posted November 11, 2020 Unless I missed it, I didn't see what the front tires are- I am guessing the old Monogram solid rubbers turned down.

DrKerry Posted November 27, 2020 Author Posted November 27, 2020 Well heck! Prepping for paint and snapped drivers side door off!! Now I need to repair the hinge.. thought of gluing the doors shut but it ain’t gonna get the best of me!!! Hinge repair tomorrow morning!!

Well the door won!! Fixing the lower hinge on body side and snapped the upper hinge on the door side and to fix that I’d have to cut into the door to fix and not going there. So! Drivers door is now glued shut! It’s either that or it’s going in a box to be forgotten and I don’t want to do that...
DustyMojave Posted December 15, 2020 Posted December 15, 2020 For color, I was going to suggest candy blue with white scallops, or vice-versa. That Duster has a great color to it though. My friend around the corner has a 72 Duster door slammer drag car painted Mopar Plum Crazy.

misterNNL Posted December 25, 2020 Posted December 25, 2020 Thanks for the updated photos. I have been noticing the weather there and figured that your weed covered hillside should be buried under ice and snow about now thus giving you some time for model building. Have a safe and productive winter.

Claude Thibodeau Posted December 28, 2020 Posted December 28, 2020 Hi Kerry! I was enjoying a good glass of wine, and looking at old issues of SAE (does life get any better?)... And reading the fine print in a 1998 report about a Wisconsin show, I realized that YOU had built the fantastic side-engined Dodge Charger in bluish primer... I'm always impressed by your work, and I should have known that your mastery goes back a long time! So, 23 years later... Bravo for the Charger. I'm finishing a 68 concept Charger, powered by a centrally mounted late-model Hemi, and I was certainly inspired by yours. CT
