Dragonhawk1066 Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 (edited) Here's the Revell 1968 Dodge Dart GTS. What a fantastic kit! Everything fit great, and I had pretty much no issues at all with the build, although I did have to shorten the rear axles to fit the wider tires inside the stock fenderwells. The color is Tamiya TS-53 Deep Metallic Blue over gray primer, and was cleared with Tamiya TS-13. The red stripes are decals from the Revell '68 Charger 2'n1 kit. The seats, door panels and dash are Apple Barrel Gloss Black craft paint. The engine is a mixture of Folkart Dutch Aqua with a touch of Apple Barrel Laguna craft paints. The wheels are from Morgan Automotive Detail and were airbrushed with Molotow Chrome. The rear tires are from Fireball Modelworks, and the fronts are from the parts box, although I'm pretty sure they came from the Revell '68 Chevelle kit. I did the trim in Bare Metal Foil and added door locks, valve stems, and ignition wires for added detail. Again, what a great kit, I really enjoyed this build. I included both indoor and outdoor pics to show how the metallic paint pops in the sun. Thanks for looking!

Steve H Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Hi Craig, stunning colour combo and awesome shine. The red stripe really pops. I used that colour many years ago on Blazer, very nice colour. Unfortunately for me, that was before I started polishing my builds, yours looks waaayyyy better. Love the wheel choice too, great build sir. Cheers, Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classicgas Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Well they look thicker than the heater hoses. Nonetheless it's a very nice build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nonetheless it's a very nice build. Thanks everyone! While the plug wires are admittedly just a tiny bit overscale, I don't consider them egregiously oversized, especially considering they're the same 30 AWG size most everyone else uses. They may look like the same size as the heater hoses, but they are not. I do admit the heater hose diameter is on the small side, but it's the kit supplied heater hose assembly that I chose to use. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
