06 Charger Superbee & Magnum

[Guest Sickfish]

Hey guys here are my 2 latest projects, an 06 Charger Superbee & 06 Magnum. The Superbee is close to being finished & I've been working on the Magnum for the last couple of days. Hoping to get them both under wraps before the year is out, which will make it 4 completed builds this year . Anyway the Superbee has been painted Panther Pink with added pink pearl powder. It's got 20in Aoshima rims & aftermarket, drilled, disc brakes. The interior is mostly stock. I used wire mesh, painted black, for the grill/air duct on the front fascia. ( also for the Magnum )

I painted the blacked-out area on the boot lip, as I believe the decal is incorrect. I did use the Charger, dodge & srt8 emblems though. It's been clear coated with HOK 2- part clear, wet-sanded, polished & waxed . I also masked off & painted the blacked out areas on all the windows, as per the 1:1  Getting the side windows to stay in place whilst gluing them was a pain in the a**!

The Magnum has been painted Tamiya French blue. I've filled in the door handles, petrol tank lid, licence plate area on rear fascia, the front fog lights & covered over the sun roof. I really liked the new Petty Special Edtion Challenger & French blue was the closest colour I had. I'm still deciding on adding stripes but I dunno... I kind've like it just 1 fluid colour like Petty's Challenger...

Here's some pics...

Wow very nice! I really like them both. I have built both, and they are great kits. Can't wait to see them done.

Thankyou Jared & DD. I've built them both before too Jared, the charger I converted to a 2-door & copied WCC's new General Lee version & the Magnum was a custom. I no longer have them because I sold them to a friend... Hence why I'm building them again  No DD its the Lindberg kit, the Revell kit was/is... 

Cheers guys, Cliffo 

Even though Chrysler did offer a color that they called "Petty Blue", the best match in spray cans is "Grabber Blue". We used this as a touch-up color on our 1:1 Pro-4 late model that was done in the Petty Blue formula in Dupont paint.
