Very nice! I like that color . Where did the wheels come from? I'm in the middle of building one too and I'd like to find different wheels for it.

I got them from another forum member. Check out RC cars. Thers were actually 1-18th scale wheels but they were so oversized they worked.

I love the color, What paint type it is? I don't think it's a Tamia spray can...
For the wheels, the 1:18 die cast often has wheels too big for a realistic look, in 1:16 they look better.
I love to mix different scale in my projects.
nice charger

So its not the rear end that makes the wheels stick out but the wheels? I'm getting ready to build one but have not opened it but hate the idea of those wheels. I have some general Lee wheels I was thinking of putting on it.

the kit wheels stuck out even worse! That's why I put the aftermarkets on. You could always just section the axle.

That turned out sharp... love the color.

Thank you! Its a one coat lacquer....fiery orange I believe. No clear coat.

Sweet. Hopefully no mod req wanting to do a quick build. Yours looks really sharp man. I love one coat. So easy to work with in a hurry. I've got several I've used it on.

I also have this kit. Im painting mine silver with a flat black hood. I like the way yours turned out. I also have the general lee & was going to use the motor from the street charger for the general lee. I wish the street charger had a regular hood. What color did you paint the chassis? Looks like aluminum or silver. Very nice build. That fiery orange is one of my favorite colors.
