That is as good as it gets, fantastic build of great looking car! As others have said, the BMF work is very sharp. Nice paint job too, but my favorite is that engine! If I couldn't see the Headlight lenses on that picture, I'd say that the engine is real. Very nice work.

For the lenses, I have used white paint too, so that you paint the lenses white and then remove the paint from the center so that chrome will be seen a bit there. Very simple and it sure does make a difference...Here's a picture of my Super Bee Headlights where I used that trick.

WOW!! More awesome work! So very clean & crisp!

Beautiful job...Its very impressive!

[John Goschke]

Stunningly clean build! Just proves how great these old kits can look when done well.

[mrknowetall]

WOW! Just a stellar build!

_{FANTASTIC!!!!!}

Absolute stunning build! Someone mentioned the dash not being correct. Looks like it's a '63 Dodge Polara dash. Doesn't matter, it's a simply gorgeous model. Unreal BMF. You've really mastered the one of the toughest kits to BMF. Awesome!

I will just add to what everyone else has already said.... that is one beautiful model. For what it's worth, for the chrome headlights, what I've done is glue clear headlight lenses from my parts box that fit the chrome lenses. I use either clear enamel or clear Elmers Glue to attach them.

Thanks again for your very kind comments everyone.

(Slaps forhead) why didn't I think of that. I'll give it a go.

Stunning!

[Chris White]

Do you work for a Museum !!!!!! Nice Work

[realgone58]

Thank you Alan for answering my question about the dash.

I have one of these kits to build myself, and even though it doesn't matter to you or Peter that it's not the right one ,, which is fine ,, I was curious what it was from. I'd like to have the correct one for mine, unfortunately Modelhaus doesn't do the correct one so I guess I'll have to figure something else out.

The dash in the Revell '62 Dodge 4 door hardtop kit is correct. These are hard to find though. You could modify the '63 piece.

The dash in the Revell '62 Dodge 4 door hardtop kit is correct.

The wheelcovers are better too - properly convex-shaped, not flat like the Jo-Han originals (I love JH kits to death, but what is it wth those flat wheelcovers??).

Very nice looking Dart Peter! I bought a hardtop some time ago. But, the interior is so shallow that I decided it would be too much work to build.

[Antikainen]

Just like your ´60 Fury STW this one looks absolutely amazing!

Great work!

[Mopar - D]

Excellent build on your 62 Dart.

[peekay]

Thanks again for your kind comments.

But, the interior is so shallow that I decided it would be too much work to build.

I've got a 60 DeSoto nearing completion where I lowered the floor but I wouldn't bother again - as you say, too much work.

But these are kits that I've kept coming back to since they were new and I've come to accept some of their idiosyncracies. At least the bodies, grilles and bumbers are spot on. I don't like the original tyres though, they're too tall, and I always replace them.
