Beautiful! Just beautiful Tom!!

That's definitely one of Chrysler's finest in their "better" days! I wish I could be as prolific as you when building.........between overtime at work and my own house to deal with, I just don't have the time like I used to! :lol::lol:

That is one AWESOME build! The photography ain't bad either , by the way. The color on that car is outstanding and the finish looks to be as good as most of us only dream of achieving. You're a tough act to follow.. :lol::lol:

Tom,

Everything you build and post is stunning, but this one is a first-rate beauty even among your pieces of art. Gorgeous!

Thanks for posting it.

Tom,

That one is breathtaking, to say the least. I have a '67 300 I built a few years back, that I am gong to disassemble, strip, and re-paint, as I have never been satisfied with the finish. After looking at yours, I may just have to do a color change too. It is now Dark Turquoise with a white interior. I am now leaning towards Turbine Bronze.

Tom-

Beautiful build you've made there. There is a woman in town here who drives one, but her's isn't in as nice a shape as your build. They sure don't make them like that anymore.

Absolutely beautiful...as close to real as you will get with a 1/25 scale model. The Mica Red over the Black makes a huge difference. I have only one "teeny tiny" little question....I don't see the driver side rear view mirror....I know it is a minor point....did I miss it? Weren't they chrome on that car? Anyway, gorgeously righteous execution.

Thanks Peter! I hadn't noticed the missing mirror. It must have fallen off while I was photographing. The wind flipped the model at one point, and I'll bet that's when it happened......bluemoose

That looks really close to the Burgundy Chrysler offered in 1968, maybe a shade lighter, but it looks GREAT! See the chip here.

To clarify, did you put that over black primer or black paint?

Thanks Charlie, I didn't use primer. I sprayed Tamiya gloss black directly on the plastic, then the mica red.
