Bronzekeg Posted January 20, 2022 Posted January 20, 2022 this is the 2 in 1 kit r/t or t/a. going to build the r/t version stock with the exception of the wheels and tires that are supplied. I'll raid the spares box for them. I have a can of go mango orange that I plan on using. this is another kit that's been in the stash for years. time to build it. c&c are welcome and thanks for looking. 1
Keef Posted January 20, 2022 Posted January 20, 2022 I’ve been looking for this kit forever to add to my stash! I’ll be following this one closely to see how it builds up
Bronzekeg Posted January 21, 2022 Author Posted January 21, 2022 well so far the engine builds up pretty nice. not crazy about a metal axle in front but I don't think you'll see much of it on the finished build. I'm using all testors and krylon paints on everything but the body. it will be model master lacquer. 1
rightrudder Posted January 21, 2022 Posted January 21, 2022 Looks great! The Challenger really is one of the cleaner muscle car designs, IMO, and it oughta really pop in mango orange. What paint/color did you use for the exhaust manifolds? They look just right.
NOBLNG Posted January 21, 2022 Posted January 21, 2022 Yes, engine colours look good. Is it my eyes, or does that coil wire go to the vacuum canister? But with the air cleaner on it just looks like a vacuum tube.?

Bronzekeg Posted January 21, 2022 Author Posted January 21, 2022 you would be right Greg, my mistake. hehehe.

Bronzekeg Posted January 22, 2022 Author Posted January 22, 2022 mocked up chassis and body to work on tire sizes and rim offsets. finally happy with them so I can move on painting the rear suspension.
Bronzekeg Posted January 22, 2022 Author Posted January 22, 2022 I got the suspensions painted and assembled and the driveline mounted. still need rear shocks mounted. 1
RichCostello Posted January 22, 2022 Posted January 22, 2022 I didn't know that Revell made a 1/25 scale Challenger. I'd really like to have one of these.

Bronzekeg Posted January 22, 2022 Author Posted January 22, 2022 small update, I got the rear shocks mounted to finish the chassis.
rightrudder Posted January 22, 2022 Posted January 22, 2022 Looks great!! Bold choice on the green shocks...looks just right. Having done the T-Bird chassis, I can fully appreciate the work that goes into cleaning up the mold seams on the exhaust alone!

Bronzekeg Posted January 24, 2022 Author Posted January 24, 2022 I got the engine compartment painted in go mango and most of the items detail painted. I really like the orange. next move is an all black interior. so far it's a pretty nice kit.
Dragonhawk1066 Posted January 24, 2022 Posted January 24, 2022 Looking good so far, the Go Mango is a really nice color and will look great on that car! I would love to come by that kit, I recently built the much more common 1/24 Challenger T/A.
David G. Posted January 24, 2022 Posted January 24, 2022 Everything looks great so far, love the added details. David G.

Bronzekeg Posted January 25, 2022 Author Posted January 25, 2022 got a start on the interior, once I get everything painted and together I will spray a mist of dull coat. thanks everyone for checking in.
David G. Posted January 25, 2022 Posted January 25, 2022 Cool! This one seems to be going rather quickly. David G.
