echoxrayniner Posted October 12, 2017 Posted October 12, 2017 Very much right out of the box minus the engine wire, man what a superb kit from Revell. Would've loved the pinstripes for the sides and perhaps a 440 Six Pack engine, but y'know what, ain't gonna complain! Used straight up yellow-green RAL color mixed with fluorescent green to mimic the sublime Dodge color.
Mr mopar Posted October 12, 2017 Posted October 12, 2017 Nice Mopar how are the hood decals....? looks like they maybe a bit tricky .
echoxrayniner Posted October 12, 2017 Author Posted October 12, 2017 I expected them to be utter balls based on the angles and it being a simple flat decal but I literally laid 'em on there, put some decal bonder over it and this is how they came out. Either I'm supremely lucky(no air bubbles aside from two small ones in the corners), or they've really put some money into the sheet. No stretching, no manhandling, just popped 'em on and they came out great!
PARTSMARTY Posted October 12, 2017 Posted October 12, 2017 I think it looks cool and I love my mopars !!!
carman1 Posted October 12, 2017 Posted October 12, 2017 Im gonna have to get one of these 70s, I love it !
justanothermopar Posted October 12, 2017 Posted October 12, 2017 Looks cool. Recently I just finished and uploaded a '70 Charger, too, but it's the resin from Missing Link. Anyway already looking forward to get the new Revell kit. Can't get enough from the b-bodies.
gtx6970 Posted October 12, 2017 Posted October 12, 2017 I like it. Just picked up a couple of these for myself. Plan is get on them asap
smhardesty Posted October 12, 2017 Posted October 12, 2017 Looks really great. Love the color and the fact you decided to NOT make it a vinyl roof job. I see way too many vinyl roofs on Chargers and IMHO I think the car looks better without it. Nice detailing in the engine compartment too. Job well done.

I like vinyl tops in most cases but for some reason, on Chargers and Chevy Camaros especially, I love the ones without the vinyl tops on 'em. The shape and the color pop out so much more, to me at least.

I have had some real good experiences with Revell decals, even kits produced 5 years ago.I think the green you mixed is very close to sublime but looks a little brighter & I really like it!
smhardesty Posted October 12, 2017 Posted October 12, 2017 I'm no sure what color you were trying for, but to me that color looks more like "Green Go" than it does "Sublime". Here is s photo of a "Green Go" challenger.

Hmann68 Posted October 12, 2017 Posted October 12, 2017 Great looking Charger! Very nice work. I always wanted to do a 70 and didn't realize this kit was out until a couple days ago lol!
Matt T. Posted October 13, 2017 Posted October 13, 2017 (edited) Beautiful build! Nice color and that grille really pops with the black wash. Mine is almost ready for color coats. I agree with you - great job, Revell. Edited October 13, 2017 by Matt T.
kelson Posted October 13, 2017 Posted October 13, 2017 Fine looking build!!think this kit will be a huge seller for Revell.
Hard_2_Handle_454 Posted October 13, 2017 Posted October 13, 2017 You took my idea. i just ordered one and was going to make it in this color.
Mr mopar Posted October 13, 2017 Posted October 13, 2017 still a nice kit but lacks a tail light panel !
Ron Hamilton Posted October 14, 2017 Posted October 14, 2017 That came out pretty nice. I have not gotten my kit yet, but I do have a can of Panther Pink paint.
Classicgas Posted October 14, 2017 Posted October 14, 2017 Well done. Are there any hood hinges in the kit?
echoxrayniner Posted October 14, 2017 Author Posted October 14, 2017 (edited) Edit: Yep there are, sorry I misread and thought of the little hood pins and not the actual hinges, bein' a dummy D: Edited October 16, 2017 by echoxrayniner
