Hello, thank you very much for your words. Steve, I used Humbrol but I don't remember the code, then I'll look to see if I can find the container inside the paint box; on the green it has Tamiya Enamel Clear. The hinges are practicable and I made steering front wheels.

That looks great! 
I too would be interested in the color code for the paint. I have been looking for this color since Testors stopped their custom lacquer series line.

Gorgeous Challenger there German, your modelling skills and engineering are top shelf. Not many modellers go to this level, those hood hinges look real and you made them to work. Really well done and thanks for sharing. 

Cheers, 

David. ??

Maaan! This thread should come with a warning label. I need sunglasses! '70s Mopars had the best colors. 

Very nice build. Squeaky clean. I bet those hinges were patience testers.

Please tell me what you used for the hood hinges.

Hi Csaba, I've been building this model for a long time. I don't know exactly, but it was a sheet of aluminum that I cut, filed, and drilled. The turns are made on a shaft made of pieces that have been heat-stretched to the required size, and the springs were from an electronic device, very soft.

Excellent work! I am interested because I did the same about 10 years ago, from similar materials and watch cogs/screws. How nice to see another and possibly even better looking pair of hood hinges!
