hhm567 Posted June 27, 2015 Posted June 27, 2015 I've been building models for about a year now, and I have been a fan of Fast and Furious. When watching Furious 7, The Charger in this movie is the best looking one yet, so i want to build it in 1/25 scale. I have read some of spencer1984.com posts and have become quite confused. So here are my questions 1) Base Kit? Should I use the Revell Die-cast Fast and Furious Charger and transplant pieces into another charger 2) Blower? Should I use the Revell DIe cast blower or another one 3) Bumper? I've read that the ModelHaus one is good for build off of a plastic kit 4) Rims? If anyone knows where I could find a close or almost exact replica of the rims, I would be very grateful Thanks Attached are picture of the charger from the movie
Guest Posted June 27, 2015 Posted June 27, 2015 Die cast is hard to work with. I'd use the revel 69 charger kit. That kit has a molded vinyl roof. It wouldn't take much work to remove it. On the flip side, the revel 68 charger kit has a smooth roof. But I think the back end of that car is closer to 69 tai lights. I would contact spencer directly, and ask him. Just send him a PM.
Yo Jutt Posted June 28, 2015 Posted June 28, 2015 Working on a similar project. Definitely will be watching this one!! Hope you get it going!!
hhm567 Posted June 29, 2015 Author Posted June 29, 2015 If anyone has Forza Horizon 2, I might get the rims 3D printed because NO-ONE make the rims even close to the movie Charger, so I need the Tire size (front and rear) and rim size
Yo Jutt Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 Would it be easier to buy a die cast? You could possibly salvage the front grill and the wheels? Don't know how expensive they are...
slusher Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 Would it be easier to buy a die cast? You could possibly salvage the front grill and the wheels? Don't know how expensive they are... Most of the F&F cars are real expensive on ebay. Looking forward to the build
mopar_guy1 Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 (edited) Personnally, i would not use die cast parts. They are not realistic... And the ones that are, they are very expensive and not to be cannibalised of their parts.. Edited June 30, 2015 by mopar_guy1
