Dr. Cranky Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Here's new work from Donn Yost. He just sent me these pics. Hope you will enjoy them.
Marty "Hatchet" Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 That's a killer Dart! Donn is a solid builder! Excellent detail and it's always nice to see some weathering on this type of build...
1320wayne Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 That's an impressive build with a typical Donn Yost stellar finish.
LoneWolf15 Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 Hi , gang ! Thank you for the compliments , they are greatly appreciated ! Revell kit , wheels are from the AMT Vette , intake manifold is from one of the Lindberg Dodge kits . Building the motor was rough , like stuffing 10 pounds of stuff in a 5 pound bag ! Used the carbs from a ' 66 Nova . Color is Testors Competition Orange with Pearl X Bright Gold suspended in the clear coat overlay . I used pastel chalks to lightly weather the motor and frame and various metallizers throughout the build . Slixx decals finished it out . I have The Dragon Lady Dart well on it's way too !
Dr. Cranky Posted January 10, 2013 Author Posted January 10, 2013 Donn, one of the wonderful things about this engine bay is that upon closer inspection you begin to see the subtle weathering. Beautiful work indeed.
ScrappyJ Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 Very nice indeed, Donn!!! Thanks for sharing Donn's work with us, Doc!
doggie427 Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 Beautiful paint and weathering . Another great model Donn !
LoneWolf15 Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 This was Beauty and the Beast , motor wise ! Beauty ? Having a 24" by 16" full color photo to follow . Beast ? Trying to stuff it all in with 1/25th scale parts ! Believe me , I scared the daylights out of the pups a few times with my bellering , cussin' , and fussin' ! Lmao ! A very nice kit to build , but I believe I enjoyed building the Revell ' 68 Charger more .
THarrison351 Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 That car is perfect. Attention to detail is incredible.
Mister Twister Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 As usual...Donn knocks the paint out of the park. I've seen Donn's work up close and personal...So I know its great!
Mooneyzs Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 Don this is one beautiful build. Paint is killer as always. Which AMT Vette did those wheels come from? They look like very nice Weld Pro Stars and they are a tad different than the pro stars that came from the revell pro stock kits. Keep up the great work. I can't wait to see the next one.

Moon , it's the ' 57 street machine kit . The model is green and white on the box with that god awful scoop on it . The kit is an excellent one to build , only drawback , no hard top ! Wheels are not as deep as the ones in the Revell kit but certainly fit the bill for a variety of builds . Thanks for the kudos !
W-409 Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 That's very nice looking Hemi Dart. Paint job is fantastic, so smooth and shiny. I like the engine details too, and the slight weathering even if I usually don't like it, but this just fits to my eye perfectly. Very nice build.

Thank you Donn.... I will have to pick one of them up.
Alan Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 Building tip for 68 Hemi Darts and Cudas ............ Omit front fender side marker lights. These cars had glass front fenders and hood and no side marker lights
rmvw guy Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 It looks perfect from every angle. I love all the detail like the wire going to the Tac. Great job! That paint is fantastic as always Donn. Thanks for sharing the pictures Doc.
