radiohd10 Posted October 18, 2021 Posted October 18, 2021 Finished this one a couple of weeks ago and finally got it outside for some pics. Not the most detailed kit in the world but still a lot of fun... My plan was to convert it to a full r/a with a rallye hood, but I couldn’t find a decent one online. I’ll keep looking and someday I’ll swap them out and add the r/t badges. Until then, we have a little custom r/t-t/a hybrid. Paints are all tamiya cans…gloss black for the body and matte for the vinyl top. I like to think a baaaad man drove this thing.
Intmd8r Posted October 18, 2021 Posted October 18, 2021 I love black cars - especially E-Bodies. The simulated vinyl top looks great! 1
crazyjim Posted October 18, 2021 Posted October 18, 2021 Well detailed and looks so sinister in SHINY ??? black. 1

Hi-Po Posted October 18, 2021 Posted October 18, 2021 Nicely done! Neat and clean. Great job on the black paint and engine detailing. 1
happy grumpy Posted October 18, 2021 Posted October 18, 2021 My favorite challenger year, all black and mean,this a really well painted car, I like the photo setting, the one near the highway reminds me of the charger waiting for detective Bullitt to climb in his mustang.Great work all around, paint,details and photos. a big thumbs up. 1
espo Posted October 18, 2021 Posted October 18, 2021 They say that a shiny black car hides no sins and this one proves it. The paint looks like it's still wet. Great engine detailing as well. 1
gotnitro? Posted October 18, 2021 Posted October 18, 2021 Beautiful paint Love the under hood details 1
radiohd10 Posted October 18, 2021 Author Posted October 18, 2021 thanks fellas - forgot to mention...i started using this awesome ceramic spray on my last few builds. it's the final step in the polishing process. its called "mothers cmx ceramic spray coating" and the shine it brings to these little cars is amazing. looks pretty darn good on my jeep too haha
iamsuperdan Posted October 18, 2021 Posted October 18, 2021 That looks great! Excellent job on the black paint. 1
Zippi Posted October 18, 2021 Posted October 18, 2021 That's a good looking Challenger. Paint looks great and the engine bay looks awesome. 1
bisc63 Posted October 18, 2021 Posted October 18, 2021 Nice modeling! Black paint is very well done, but that engine bay is beautifully realistic! GREAT job! 1
larman Posted October 19, 2021 Posted October 19, 2021 Super job! Great paint, detail work, and the Vinyl top looks very realistic. 1

It comes in a spray bottle. I just spray some on a microfiber towel, spread it over the car (including the glass) evenly by hand, let it fog up for a few minutes, then buff it off. Keeps everything clean and shiny. I tried it out on a crappy old practice mustang before using it on my newer builds to see if it was any good…see below 1

Have you just discovered the new Pledge floor gloss??? Definitely going to have to get me some of that ceramic coating. 1
