James Tester Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 This is the new issue Revell 70 Challenger. I custom mixed some cream and white lacquer and cleared it with Omni Urethane clear. The side stripe decals are from Fred Cady and the engine compartment decals are Last Detail ones. This is the first model that I have finished in a long time (I've started plenty). It was a fun "slump buster". James
RodneyBad Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 Nothing nicer than a Slump Buster.. Gets the glue flowing Looks Great.. great work..
SteveG Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 James, Great job on that new Revell kit !!!! I also really like that color combination. That's my method too for recharging the batteries. Find an easy kit and just build it !!! -Steve
diymirage Posted June 14, 2009 Posted June 14, 2009 that is indeed a very nice model i like the interior exterior colour combination what kit exactly is this ? i was looking all over heck to find one with that hood last winter to build one for my father in law i ended up using the johnny lightning version and had to turn the ragtop into a smooth hardtop to make it fit my needs funny thing, this one actually came with the stripe you have, only in black and white
Joe Handley Posted June 14, 2009 Posted June 14, 2009 Nice build, is that based off the low mileage resto car that came in something like 99.something% accurate at the carlise Mopar chow a few years back?
randx0 Posted June 14, 2009 Posted June 14, 2009 That is a great color combination ! congratulations on a completion . Now keep that glue flowing.
nts Posted June 14, 2009 Posted June 14, 2009 Very nice ,looks like a 1:1 car ,really clean and well built. Torgny / Sweden
stump Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 Great looking ride James... I too approve of your choice of colouring....gives a great result without being over the top. Excellent ! Eelco, I believe James used the "new" Revell 70 Challenger 2 in 1 kit. Can be built T/A or R/T...2 motor options, 2 hood options...... Long awaited kit, which obviously builds up nicely......but I just can't get passed the slab sides and metal axles.....but that's my problem..... cheers Greg

mikelo Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 Very nice indeed. I think everyone needs one every once in a while. I think I might have to get that kit. I notice it still has the TA chin spoilers (a plus for me). Great job as usual. Mike
diymirage Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 I believe this is the one you need Eelco.. Ebay...
