69 Daytona Hemi

[kymdlr]

Revell Kit. Testors Metallic Green. Rear Tires are resin from Fireball. Front tires will be getting matching decals soon. Wired 426 Hemi from a 71 Cuda detailed w/ scratch & parts box parts. I had never seen one of these built w/ the headlights in the open position so I scratch built those pieces and positioned them in a partially open position. Added valve stems to all wheels. A couple other small details added.

Very nice. The 71 Cuda Hemi is 1/24. Did you mean the Revell 70 Cuda Hemi?

Excellent job!

Looks very good

That’s one mighty fine build. I really like the color, and your detailing is top notch, especially the interior pieces, and what you did to the headlamp doors. The engine looks very realistic. 

You can’t go wrong with Fireball products.

Gorgeous work!!!! And, I guess we think alike... I haven’t posted mine under glass yet because I dropped the hood and broke it in half.  Getting it repainted now.  Other than the tail stripe/interior, we had the same concept.

Your build is beautiful, and that is some impressive work on the headlights!!!!

Sweet winged car !!

The detail on this build is very nice, especially enjoyed the engine compartment.  Very nice work.

Very nice build!

[Tommy124]

Great result. It seems like green is a perfect color for this car. Am I right in assuming that you opened/ scratch-built the headlight housings?

[kymdlr]

Thank you all for the comments! Yes Tommy I opened the headlight area with a dremel and then scratch built the housings with sheet plastic & modified parts box lenses, it was a pretty simple fix.
