tktom24 Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 I have decided to move this to it's own thread. This model will be a curb side as I am concentrating on paint and stance on this car. This is where I started. Old MPC charger body and interior, with a Johan Superbird chassis pan. The wheels are an experiment (that went way wrong). As you can see the body has been shaved and smoothed. New wheels and better stance. Primer is Rust-o-leum black sandable. (Good stuff in my book) The paint that I used is, Model Master custom lacquer system black. The car has not been polished yet ,but turned out good, I think. Sorry for bad pics. Tell me what you think.
Geno Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 (edited) Looking good so far Tom, I love these Chargers. Glad to see another fellow Ohioan here. Edited June 12, 2013 by Geno
tktom24 Posted June 12, 2013 Author Posted June 12, 2013 Just moved to West Carrollton. I needed something to do while I am off work. None of my snap kits looked good, so I dug these parts out of the parts box.
Tonioseven Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 You should be VERY close to The Hobby Shop on S.R. 741 (721?) not too far from the Dayton Mall. I dig the Charger by the way!! I was born in Dayton.
tktom24 Posted June 13, 2013 Author Posted June 13, 2013 I can be at that shop in 5 mins. They have a lot of things going on there on Saturday mornings. I'm glad you guys like the Charger. This project is a first for me, I try to over engineer model projects, and end up making a mess. I needed to go in a different direction.
Tonioseven Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 Sometimes, you jus have to let go and follow a hunch and the next thing you know, the kit is in the display shelf!! I hope to visit that hobby shop upon my return to that area. I haven't been in well over 7 years!! I'm glad it's still open!! Take care!!
MoparWoman Jamie Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 I love these old cars, I'm have a '69 myself. I'll be watching this build.
tktom24 Posted June 13, 2013 Author Posted June 13, 2013 This build comes with a story, which I will tell at the end. It will start another build of a 69 that I a gathering parts for now. Thanks for looking.
MoparWoman Jamie Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 BTW I for got to say I think your off to a very great start.
Geno Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 LOL, been there many times for supplies, a great little store, I'm fixing to head there soon. You should be VERY close to The Hobby Shop on S.R. 741 (721?) not too far from the Dayton Mall. I dig the Charger by the way!! I was born in Dayton.
