70 plymouth duster 440

[michelle]

this was pieced together model  i had a 71 duster body  i used a  75/76 dart chassis and interior pan and glass  71 duster  front seats and spoiler  i had in my part boxes , i got the  dash  and front and back bumpers from my friend tom geiger  i got  the grille and hood  are from harts resin  the wheels and tires  are from my part boxes  and the 440 6pack was peiced together  from various  mopar 440  engines and parts from a duster engine  that  looked like a 440  six pack  air cleaner  since the the 440 engin parts were for the magnum  versions with the smaller round air cleaners 
i  peiced the  440 numbers together from other  duster/dart  stripes that  had 340  the decals for the main duster stripes were  a liitle old  and they required some trimming to make them fit  around  the door handled and they broke apart and i tried to peice them back together as best as i could   the  ones for the tail light panel i had to cut out the film that covered the taillights  after i put them on  and they did not want to lay right  
i painted it in testors  one coat  lacquer electric pink  over black primer

You did a real good job on this one.  I think it's one of my favorites I've seen you do.

Looks great!  I love to send you parts because I know they’ll be put to use quickly!

Very nice effort. I can see your skills improving. I would suggest when decaling, put one drop of dish soap in your decal soaking puddle. It will permit you to slide a decal around until it is EXACTLY where you want it. Use a Q-tip and some plain white vinegar as a cheap substitute decal set to get the bubbles and wrinkles to go away. Use dry Q-tips to gently soak up any excess moisture. Happy modeling!

Great looking color for this. I also like how you used parts from here there and everywhere and brought them all together. Shows your great creativity.
