Dodge Magnum srt8

[Jared Roach]

Well here is my latest wip. It's revell's 06 dodge magnum srt8. I've always liked these cars and I saw one the other day lowered on steel wheels so I had to dig thru the stash and dig this kit out. 

Wheels and tires are from the lindberg charger police car as is the push bar. Lowered suspension and I made some decals for it but only ended up using the word "hemi" and painted the rest. 

The interior and chassis have base coats, once dry they'll be ready to detail

Thanks for looking!

Cool. Nice work so far. I like the choice of wheels.

Being a mopar guy-i love it.Great color combo !!!

[Jantrix]

Very well done. I'll be following along.

I really like the colors in the range of Copper/Orange that you are using. Good idea with the Hemi Billboards on the side.  Not sure about the Push Bar, but its about your vision anyway.

I really like how this looks! The colors & Hemi decals are perfect! I wanted to get one of these kits & try something I saw at a local car show but it will take some work. Maybe one day...

I'm liking the color and your graphics.  I love mopars and have bought several of these for future projects.  Wish I could find a 1:1 low mile Srt8 locally and reasonable.

I like how this is turning out! I built one of these too years ago, and had no problems with it. Everything went together well save for the usual body prep and such.

It's too bad this car and wagons in general have not caught on. These are starting to get somewhat scarce as it's been 10 years since they made the last one. In fact, I wanted one of these before I bought my Challenger, but the bank told me the car was "too old" (late '14).

I'd love to see more wagons make a comeback as I'm not a real big fan of the whole Truck/SUV/CUV craze.

It broke my heart when Dodge discontinued the Magnum. I understand the reason why they did it, as I was working at a Dodge dealership when the last ones came in. They sat for a long time with no interest. I think it was because they were the SXT model. If they were at least a R/T, SRT or an all wheel drive, they may have sold faster, as those models sold well.

I still have 2 of the kits in my stash. One is going to be built as a Police Version, and the other as a SRT.

[MrObsessive]

Ron, my only beef with the SRT version is the tires in the kit don't have quite enough of a low profile as they should. Seems more suited for an RT version rather than an SRT. I ended up using the tires out of junk C6 Corvette kit to get the correct profile.

I like this build. Hemi billboards on a Dodge magnum? Great idea!! Great taste of color combo too. I'm certainely following this build!!

[slusher]

Awesome color combo!

[Jared Roach]

Thanks everyone! I'm with most of you I have always thought these cars were too cool. Might have to find one someday lol.

Anyways the Interior is done! Pretty much box stock expect i built a sub box for it since the hatch is operable lol. Detailed and the carpet is flocked with embossing powder ?

 

[slusher]

Nice touch on the sub box.

[Slotto]

Looking real good!
Great color combo and that interior is killer.

[Jared Roach]

Thanks guys. 

 I got a good chunk done on the magnum tonight, the end is near ?

I finished and detailed the engine, engine bay and chassis. Chassis still needs some weathering tho. And got everything mated together for the final time. 

Pretty happy with the kit except I hate the how the headlight lenses fit lol.
