Simon Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Hi folks, I often drop in and admire the work shown on this forum, but I haven’t posted here in ages – been focusing more on military and aircraft than on cars, but then my friend asked me to build him a mean 68 Charger as a sort of bandit’s car. This was real fun, adding scrapes, a few beer cans and cigarette packs inside, and generally dirtying it up! Under the hood is a nice 426 hemi, the idea being that this outlaw fellow always keeps the motor in fine fettle but is a bit lazy on the paint and polish side of things! Though you can hardly see the grime and scratches in these photos, as we are having a sunny day here for a change. It was also partly inspired by a Beastie boys song called ‘High Plains Drifter’, which contains the line ‘I’m doing one-twenty plowing over mailboxes/Radar detector to tell me where the cops is’. This is the Revell kit from 2008, not a bad kit and it includes a nice set of steel rims as well as the 440-inch mill. I hope you enjoy these shots.
