JabMan Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 This is my new Build. I will try the new skills I have learned on this one, hoping it turns out alot bertter then my last. The primer coat.
JabMan Posted February 1, 2014 Author Posted February 1, 2014 Cool. Where in MN are you? I am in Hastings. I have a sister near East Bethel
Skypower Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 Sweet I had one back in the early 80's. If I can learn how to do this stuff well enough I will attempt one of these my self. Your off to a great start, I will be following this one.
freakshow12 Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 I am doing a fairly modified one of these. It's about my 5th one. There is a tiny chassis mod that makes the rad support and chassis fit better. I will show you
PappyD340 Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 Looks like you're off to a terrific start Jason!!
JabMan Posted February 2, 2014 Author Posted February 2, 2014 Well I resprayed the primer on the body as it was to dark. I going to do a green on the body, with a flat black hood. It is ready for the color coat. Plus started to do the engine.
JabMan Posted February 9, 2014 Author Posted February 9, 2014 (edited) Ok, Here is the body and hood. They are not sanded or polished yet but will get to that soon. The green is not the right color but I think it is close. Also I will try to post images of the engine tomorrow. Edited February 9, 2014 by JabMan
slusher Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 Color and finish look really good. You can go with white primer to lighten your colors...
Tompidom Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 Great color, looks good with the black hood!
JabMan Posted February 15, 2014 Author Posted February 15, 2014 Well I have been busy this week and didn't have much time to play with my model. I did get the engine most of the way done. I am going to work on the chassis next I think. the Body has not been sanded or polished yet, I am waiting until I can afford to go to the local hobby shop to pick up a few things like BMF and flocking.
JabMan Posted February 16, 2014 Author Posted February 16, 2014 Ok, I lost the wheels of my modle some how so went to look in another model I was digging in and didn't find then but found some silcke. I thought I would use them. I have only built straight from the box, never trying ant customization. I like the way the tires look but they don't seem to fit that well. How can I lift the rear end to make the tires fit better? I have already put the finish coat on the body and am not willing ( at this time) to alter the body. I am aasentually a begenner at this, even though I have been building models for quite some time I am only now trying to move out of my comfort zone. any tips on the above problem would be greatly apprecated. Here are some photos.
slusher Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 I would not lift it but put stock tires on it or some smaller slicks. The revell 68 charger has some nice Crager wheels and slicks...
JabMan Posted February 17, 2014 Author Posted February 17, 2014 I will see how it looks with stock tires, but was kind of hoping to use slicks, maby I have some other ones I will look.
JabMan Posted February 27, 2014 Author Posted February 27, 2014 Well I have done some more work. I have (most of the way) finished the chassie. The kit came with lift's so I added them It dosnt look that bad. Here is the stance with the slicks. I like it but thinking of lowering the front end a bit.
