This is my 2nd model build. I finished this back in February or March. My dad bought this kit for me. It's Revell's '68 dodge charger special edition 2 n 1. I like this kit because the 68 charger is my absolute favorite out of all the cars of the muscle car era. This kit was also a real pain for me to build and i ended up spending an extra 20 dollars to finish it.

My first time spray painting a model was a complete disaster. I was using a cheap paint and destroyed it for the most part. I ended up ordering a new body from revell. The body your seeing is the new one and it isn't painted except for the stripe.

The interior was another fun part. I had just finished putting it together and was taking a nap and my dog must have snuck in and stole it because i woke up and found him chewing on it. I guess you could say I'm using the excuse "my dog ate my model" and I ended up ordering that from revell to.

But I did eventually get it finished after alot of frustration, and I like how it turned out. I did manage to save the original body and I'm planning on taking a viper engine and other parts and making a psychotic drift missile. But that will have to wait until I can get a viper kit and another charger kit.

Nice! You don't see these in white very often. The Chargers get done a lot but I never get tired of seeing them. :D

thanks. I'm glad I decided not to paint this because honestly I don't think I've ever seen one of these painted white.

Looks great actually! Good job on that :D ! I am just wondering what happened to mine, I see that yours is sitting level, but for some reason the one I did has the front end sitting alittle high? and I can't figure that one out.

I'm not sure why it's not level. Mine must sit differently because I used different wheels and tires that weren't from the kit. But yours looks great anyways.

It's a sharp looking build!

I have a Daytona in the stash that I will be using white with red stripes.

Keep up the drive for building

Thank You for sharing
