Great build, love the vent window! First time I see that on a model! 

 

Thanks guys. The vent window was done using left over strips of styrene I used to fix the gutter rails. The glass is a bit of plastic from a takeaway container.

Very nice!

Awesome build Gareth! Those white walls gives it a sleeper look with the Hemi under the bonnet.

Excellent work, I especially like the detail of the open wing window!

Agreed! This model shows what a pair of skilled hands can do with even a minimal kit! Well done Gareth!

Cheers, Dan. I should have done redlines but only thought of it as I was doing the last whitewall, lol.

Thanks Roger. The inspiration I get from this forum is to blame! I can't leave a basic kit well alone anymore, Lol.

Thanks, David. It's called Pacific Green Metallic, a hair lighter than British Racing Green though it's barely noticeable.

Thanks Larry. So nice in fact, you posted three times! Internet lag is a b*tch haha, cheers mate.

 I decided to replace the whitewalls with some Goodyear GT Radials. They looked fine, but these look much more suited for a car with a Hemi!

This was definitely a fun build to watch come together Gareth. Nice additions throughout like the open trunk, scratchbuilt trunk flooring, vent window open and the open headlight doors. Terrific work.

Thanks, Joe. The MPC Charger is always a fun build despite the fit issues it has. Fixing the ill fitting parts is part of the fun.. well, sometimes. Lol.

'68-'69 Chargers are one of my favorite body styles, your build is really nice!

Thanks Dave. Yes, me too, I love the Chargers. This is my forth Charger build. I have a '71 build coming up that I'm looking forward to as I've never built one.
