1970 Dodge Challenger Is My Next Project

[primera man]

Well this is the next one to be built.

This is one car i have always dreamed of owning.

I was so pleased to finally get one to make as a kitset though.

Started it today and once again the quality is crap compared to Tamiya. The kit is by Revolting...i mean Revell

It is going to take a good few days to sand all the molding lines on all the parts. The plastic is so much heavier and thick in places.

Have glued several parts together already so that its easier to sand and paint. Glued the backs of the seats on/engine halfs together/dash together and a couple of others parts.

Not sure on colours for the car yet as you can do it like the pic below or do it as a custom.

I'll keep you posted with pics etc as i build it

I guess that's why they are like half the price.

I say go for the full period look Warren, with matt black bonnet and the authentic stripes! It seems tyo be the 'in period' now too, the 70s!
I hear the tires are awful on those kits though, and need junking!

There was a 1970 Z28 Camaro in Scale Models that I liked the look of, but it wouldn't go with anything in my collection, so I won't bother!

Superbirds had a wing that was soo big it looked like the car could fly


Anyways, Looks like its gonna be a sweet project P.Man. I am personally a fan of muscle cars, and my fav would have to be the 68-69 Pontiac GTO Judge.

Ill post my GTO Judge as soon as i sort out this crappy webcam

I remember seeing one about 10 years ago and could not beleive the size of the car

Well things have been slow on the kit. Been spending most of the last 3 days just sanding the molding lines out of the parts.
Just started on the body of it today.....god Revell are rough

Anyway the colour will be orange/black and will try and get pics up soon.

The kit looks like it will need a lot of work to get things to line up and fit correctly.
