Dragonhawk1066 Posted August 22, 2021 Posted August 22, 2021 Here's Dom's Charger from the first Fast and Furious movie. The kit interior isn't very accurate and the movie car didn't have slicks for rear tires, but it's still a pretty good representation. I used Tamiya TS-14 Gloss Black and cleared it with Tamiya TS-13 Gloss Clear. I'm pretty darned happy with the shine on this one, which was accomplished by wet-sanding the clear with 2000, 4000, 6000, 8000, and finally 12000. I then polished with Novus #2, and applied a coat of Meguiar's Cleaner Wax. I didn't do too much detail wise, but I did use BMF on the roll bar and window trim and added ignition wires. This is a pretty nice kit and was really fun to build. Thanks for looking! 2
EngineerBob Posted August 22, 2021 Posted August 22, 2021 Nice model. Paint turned out fantastic! I hadn't paid attention before because I didn't really like the movie but I never noticed how that car looks amazingly like my first car, black '70 Charger with polished Daisey rims only with a turbocharger under the hood instead of a blower, I may need to get one now.
Captain Spaulding Posted August 23, 2021 Posted August 23, 2021 Great job on the Charger, that paint looks fantastic.
FLHCAHZ Posted August 24, 2021 Posted August 24, 2021 Fantastic charger! Â Really nice work on the paint, foil, and engine detailÂ

Plowboy Posted August 30, 2021 Posted August 30, 2021 That is one slick black paint job Craig! Nice work!
Painted Black Posted August 30, 2021 Posted August 30, 2021 Really sharp, may have to buy that kit just for the American 200's,
