doorsovdoon Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Finally finished this one up the other day, started in June last year! I originally painted it yellow, but the last coat reacted badly to the first layers I laid on months before. Nice kit though, with only a couple of fit issues. I also messed up when painting the wheel centres and ended up stripping them, but it also took the chrome off and looked awful in chrome paint, so that was that! I didn't really like the wheels in the kit anyway so I went for some black Torq Thrusts which look 'mwa' (chef's kiss)! 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeakDoc Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Stellar build, Gareth! I always liked the 3rd generation Chargers. While the Hi Impact colors on this body style really trip my trigger, I really dig your paint choice. Great to see a fresh build from you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, those Hi impact colours are pretty far out there! Yes, love the 3rd gens. I didn't realise until recently that the Charger was made up to 1978. I couldn't believe what they looked like by that time! Talk about how to kill off a brand! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to shave it paper thin along the windscreen edge and still it sits a bit proud. 31 minutes ago, Classicgas said: Very nice, great color choice. Nice to see one in a uncommon color. Thanks mate. It was almost yellow with a vinyl roof before the paint failed. 16 minutes ago, Keef said: Stunning work on this one!! That color looks great on it! Cheers mate.

Thanks mate. Yea, I was breaking a sweat laying those down! I've seen so many builds of this car where if they aren't laid down perfectly it ruins the lines of the whole car.

David G. Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 A fabulous build of a good, solid kit! Nice work with the decals, I remember these being quite tricky when I built mine. Your choice of color is excellent and probably closer to the reality of these legendary cars. I went a little more on the wild side with mine. Cheers, David G. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
