1:16 Dodge Charger 1969 Junkyard

[FTE]

Hey guys. Frank here, 33 years old from Norway.

First post here on this forum, thought i`d share my last build. This is my first ever junkyard/rust project.

This is a kit from MPC, originally a "Dukes of Hazzard" kit.

So, this is how the body looks like from the box:

But i wanted a weathered and rusted junkyard model, so i started to modify it, drilling out keyholes and the left door-opener and proceeded to rustholes:

Coated it in dull red for detail-inspection:

Started with the engine, drilled holes for the headstuds and watercooling:

Also drilled the headers to look more realistic:

Had to place the flag that normally sits on the roof:

So this is the result:

Very cool build! I like all of the details, you've done. Rusting and weathering looks very good too. Sunset pictures are great, and this build looks like 1:1 car on them. Also it's nice to see more people from northern Europe here.
