I'm gonna try to build the Challenger into a widebody R/T Scatpack that looks like this (below) but I'll need to get wheel arch flares, decals, etc. Does anyone know if any of these parts exist?

1:24 Liberty Walk Widebody Dodge Challenger Transkit for Revell | C1-TK023 | C1 Models (hiroboy.com) Maybe you can manage to find one of these?

 

O, found one (in my home country) 1:24 | C1 Models | c1tk023 | Tom's Modelauto's (toms.nl)

And here 1:24 | C1-TK023 | Liberty Walk Widebody Challenger Transkit - (bsmodels.be)

What did I get today….I don’t know yet!? I got a Christmas gift certificate from the wife’s sister for the local hobby shop. And the hobby shop is closing its doors tomorrow to walk-in traffic. They will have on-line shopping for pickup or delivery only until who knows when?? So I guess I should go and get something….but its -43C right now with the wind chill!?

I always wonder, where's that wind chill in the summer, when we could use it? How come you NEVER hear a TV weatherman say in August, "It'll be 96 degrees tomorrow, but with the wind chill, it'll be a balmy 78!" :unsure::lol:

Clearly scale makes a hellcat convention kit, I’m not sure if they make the wide body flares though 

I'll check that out, thanks Cale!

Don't let the erroneous 1/24 scale put you off. The C1 transkit is for Revell's 1/25 2009 Challenger. Chris Hales did not always get the scale reference correct. I think it is partially, that being from the UK, he is used to most car kits being of 1/24 scale.

Yes, Hobby Sense. He sure has a lot of stock there. Really, I’m in no hurry, but I do hate shopping online. I’ve been out twice today and its only -26C, or -36C with the windchill the weather channel says, but it doesn’t seem anywhere near that cold.?

Was out today and home by 1:00 and the sun sure makes a difference..Check AccuWeather..Its  from the US but is accurate to almost the hour..Not like the Canadian weather stuff..

That's something I *sort of* want, hope to see you build it!  *which means if I didn't have two dozen Ferraris already I would get it*

Don't get excited, the only new thing in the picture is the #22 decals for Nick Mason's car.  Found on eBay, Diseno from Spain (lemansdecals.co).

Love the brand name - it reminds me of an eye chart or a bad Scrabble hand.

Thanks for the information Bill! Not sure yet if I'm gonna go with the C1 transkit or just get the Motormax diecast and repaint. Or maybe I'll do both!

The MotorMax has apparently been available in different colors. When I was searching for it the other night, the most prevalent color seemed to be green, but yesterday I got a promo email from Diecasmodelswholesale listing them in black. Might want to check eBay for them, too--often other colors are available there when the main retailers are out of them.

I should look for those bezels, good idea to get both.  Source?

The airbrush cup that I've been using for 40 years was way past due for replacement.  Trying 3 different seatbelt p-e.

Yes - I looked at the DMW website last night and saw the black one. I’ll check eBay and Amazon to see if I can find it in blue. Thanks again!
