Cesar, your making great progress my friend. Your work looks really good against the white background in the last picture. You should consider using the white background for your future pictures.

Cesar... Awesome job on windows... So shiny!  I'm glad you finally got them! Anytime i can help my Mopar bro i will! 

Now hurry up and finish this beast! 

Cheers Cliffo!

Cesar, this is beautiful work, please explain a bit more how you did this. It looks like a cast brass plate, I love it!. And did you polish the widows to remove the distortion? If so, I know what I'm doing on my next build!

Custom Mike... The plates are part of the PE detail set that's available for the Revell 09 Challenger kit. It's very simple to replicate what Cesar & i have done... Here's what i did for my set...

All i did was use a red/black sharpie marker, coloured the whole plate then very lightly sanded over the top of the plate with a sanding stick- very fine grade ( about 2000 grit ) & bam.. Done!

You can also do what Cesar did, spray-paint the colour you want & then sand... Simple 

Cheers Cliffo 

Thanks for the information Cliff, I thought it looked like a P.E. part, but wasn't sure. The textured paint really makes it look really good, I've gotta try that!

Thank you guys!! Cliff was my Magnum savior!!

Cliffo it's correct... I stole that plate from my Geronimo '09 Challenger p.e. set...

The key of the moment it's "final assembly". Rear end it's almost done...

This is outstanding. Can anyone tell me how you guys open up the grilles on models? I'm assuming you use a dremmel, which I have, but I've never had the nerve to actually try it for fear of ruining a part.

Larry... Don't be afraid to open up a grill, it's really simple mate. If you're worried about using a Dremel then don't use one, use an exacto blade  . Just slice along the area you want removed, over & over, and pretty soon it'll come out/off. To smooth the area use miniature files or sanding sticks 

Cheers Cliffo 
