    Cheers all. :) Jim, currently using Trizact 6000 & 8000 pads to flat back (used wet), then Tamiya coarse and fine compounds, finished with a final wax coat once the whole model is complete.

    Revell 1/25 1970 Dodge Charger

    Morning all. :) Well I've been having a nightmare with this. The body had been painted, glossed and polished some time ago but I still had to paint the chrome window trim. I masked everything up, and then in a stupid moment decided to use a paint pen for the chrome instead of airbrushing. This...

    Revell 1/25 1970 Dodge Charger

    Morning gang. I realised I've not updated this thread, to engrossed in the build. The body has been painted and glossed, still needs flatting, polishing and the chrome trim painting, so will post pics of that when it's done. In the meantime I've pushed on with some other parts. First up, the...

    Camouflage painting

    Your model, your choice. As a kid, I made a winter camo Spit using Tippex. :tears-of-joy:

    Attaching Clear Canopy to Frame

    Bob Smith Gold foam safe CA, it won't fog clear acrylics. Slightly longer dying time than normal CA, but still massively quicker than most everything else.

    Revell 1/25 1970 Dodge Charger

    Morning all. Made a start on this yesterday by getting the body prepped for paint. There was a bit of a seam along the front and rear wings, nothing too major. However the inside of the roof was terrible, four really deep EPM's, which as they had got in at an angle were raised on one side and...

    Revell 1/25 1970 Dodge Charger

    Not on a 1970 Charger Jim, that would be a '69. ;) :tears-of-joy: Might have to do a DoH Charger though, loved that show as a kid.

    Revell 1/25 1970 Dodge Charger

    Hi all, So, next on the bench is this. My eldest daughter is a fan of the films, and the Charger in particular. She is off to University in September to train to become a Midwife, and I wanted to build something for her to take with her as a little reminder of home.
