TFchronos Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Cool! I had forgotten they made a kit of this car, I've always wanted to build the Charger but those kits are expensive apparently. I'll be watching this good luck with it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be watching this good luck with it! Th charger kit are the old Dukes kit but with a wannabe 1970 grill thing for a bumper. If you want a correct model, get a revell charger and mod it up. It's better then that amt fnf kit thing. I built a Supra about 8 years ago for my friend that is like a brother to me. It's a good kit.

captin Posted July 29, 2013 Author Share Posted July 29, 2013 Bottom of the eclipse, im going for a driven look. i primered it then i took some vallijo black grey paint and sprayed some areas to create shadows then i used ak interactive dark wash to create darker shadows and the fuel cell is painted with model masters steel paint. still have a little more detail to add to it but turning out good so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
