67 Charger

[cartpix]

This is my first post, that isn't a reply. After reading a topic, about detail Hell, I decided to build something less detailed, than the several kits I've stall on, because of detail Hell. I pulled out a Revell 67 Dodge Charger, from my stash, & went to work. I also decided to experiment with light weathering. Here's what I have, so far. Comments & criticisms are welcomed.

Red interior

Lightly weathered chassis

Hemi with plug wires & fuel lines...

...that get covered with the air cleaner

Kit Cragars with kit front tires & parts box rears

Close up. if you look close, to the right of 12 o'clock, you can see the valve stem, I made of stretched sprue

Misc parts

Real NICE start Jeff, don't know what the exterior color is going to be, but when I was about 13 our neighbor across the street had 67 Charger with a Hemi and it was white with red interior man that thing was sharp and it would light up the rear tires in a heartbeat, ahhh those were the days!!!

[MyBradKeselowski]

Thanks for all the comments. PappyD340, it will be German Metallic Silver. I was going to paint it, yesterday, but it rained. The weather looks good, today, so I'm hoping to get some color color, on it, today.

I got some color, on it, today. Unfortunately, I also got some crud, in the color. I will let it cure, color sand it, & lay down another coat or 2.

I know, right? But I didn't cut up the chassis, to add huge tires, scratch build a roll cage, aftermarket goo gaws, etc. I did stop myself from cutting the back seats, to have them folded down, like a picture, I saw on Google. It did look cool, though. LOL

It's a nice kit. Everything fits, no flash, & parting lines weren't too bad. Typical, newer Revell kit.

Thanks. It's not real common but it really pops.

Looks great.

[circaboy]

Real good detail there! That would be my kind of detail hell.

[rv1963]

I think your interior looks amazing, also great engine details.

[SwankmoteeD]

Nicely done! Very clean and I have to say you haven't overdone anything in a taseful way. Thanks for sharing your work!

[Hayabusa]
