Tony T Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 This is for a group build that is due in Jan 2011! I just got going on it a few weeks ago, and just couldn't not finish building it!! Nice kit, lots of detail decals, and lots of opportunity to add tons of extra detail if you wanted to. I decided on a build it as a stock SRT8, but with custom semi-gloss black paint, and gunmetal stock wheels. Used gunmetal on the interior areas that would be silver/aluminum (dash panel, console). Other than the no-name tire sidewalls, the kit is a very nice representation of the Challenger. I was having so much fun building it, I didn't stop to take progress pictures! Anyways - Interior is mostly Tamiya semi gloss black, body is Krylon semi gloss black, as is floor of interior, and the black parts of the chassis. The grey on the chassis is Krylon primer. I'll see if I get used to the semi gloss black. I may chicken out and give it a couple of coats of Future...we'll see! Anyways - here's some pics (more in my photobucket album). Enjoy!

Tony T Posted August 1, 2010 Author Share Posted August 1, 2010 Here's a couple more - you can see the "Brembo" decals on the calipers. Lined up with a couple of recent builds. Here's the Challenger album link, should you care to see more. Thanks for looking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony T Posted August 8, 2010 Author Share Posted August 8, 2010 (edited) Craig - I asked some friends about the AMT & Revell, and was told the Revell had better detail for a stock build. Thanks, Fab! Good luck with your build! Thanks, Bruce! Edited August 8, 2010 by Tony T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
