'68 Street Killer Charger.

I built this about 7 months ago - my first Foray into Model cars, and I know, I didn't detail the engine, the hood doesn't close.

It WAS my first real Model build. :-)


Anyway - Pics:









Info:
It's the Revell '68 Dodge Charger R/T "Special Edition" Model.
Shaved Door handles, locks, boot locks and side badges, and Fuel Filler.
The only badges remaining are the painted Grille "Charger R/T" badges.
I built it with the Drag Tyres, stock suspension, Drag roll-bar with Fire Extinguisher, No back seat, all Matte black because I liked the added "Badass" look it gave it.
It was my First model that I actually made an attempt to be neat and clean, I wasn't fussed about engine detailing or a perfect under carriage - as It was a "proof" model that I made to show I could wield a brush well.
Has the 426 HEMI Race Motor.

I will probably build another one way down the track that is full details and full entrails.. lol.
Until then - I have a half done '66 Mustang Fastback that I will finish if I ever get around to buying wire to wire it up from the Dizzy, and all the fancy doodah lines in the 'Bay.
And a '69 GTX that I totally stuffed up - so I have to strip the paint and start the Shell again - But It's another "proof" model as I got it for cheap, I decided to build the Interior, engine detail, and try my hand at a full custom Sub-Frame to not only lower it, but to make it stand out - When I strip the shell - I'll repaint it all correctly and neat - but for now I'm working on the P.I.T.A suspension and whatnot for it. (May end up starting the frame from scratch again.)

Anyway - Enjoy my Charger, and I'll upload the Build of the other two in a little bit.

All chargers are enjoyable IronMunkie, looks tuff in matt black, engine detail doesn't matter when your starting out, sometimes too much detail can become a chore and turn you right off the hobby, just enjoy your building mate, it will all happen eventually, looking forward to your other builds too.

For a number 1 it looks the goods. Those old muscle cars look sweet in matt black I recon. Dont worry about getting toooo fancy with engine detail. Yes it does look good when done but what a PITA doing it. I rarely detail an engine. It saves chipping the paint on the walls when the model hits it !

Dont try to get to fancy to quick. Take your time and have fun learning.

Good job on the Charger!

nice wook

Thanks guys - I might grab another Charger soon to do a Full Chassis Pro Tourer, will full detail - but that one will take a while. haha.

Then we'll see if that hits the fan.

Sounds like you got some good ideas in the works. Nice first 'proof' model. Enjoy!

Very cool mopar

For a first model that is neat!! I like it, it looks tuff.

Cool.
There's a satin black '68 that I see regularly on the streets of The Peninsula - it's got "01" on the doors in silver. I think of it as the Evil General...

Golden words of wisdom right there
Plus it's matt black. Who doesn't love matt black cars? Very nice build for your first mate, gee I'd be happy to get that and I've had practice
In short- awesome

Thanks guys. :-)
