72 dodge charger from brazil

[michelle]

i made this from a revell 68 dart   kit with  the rear  roof pillar extensions from a mpc  69 charger 
i painted the body in testors  extreme lacquer  star-spangled blue and the interior  i painted krylon short cuts matte rain drop 
and painted all the  exterior chrome parts in  testors gloss black   and used a black sharpie for the chrome trim around the windows   and some of the details on the interior that would be chromed 
i used  some photo etched charger script  since i realized  i was out of the charger script  decals   and used some r/t logos from a 67 coronet revell kit i got  last month   the stripes were from my decal box    though it was after i  glued the door handels on  i realized   i should have  put the stripe decals on first as the stripes should  should have been higher and the door handels should be on top of the stripe   but it is not a big deal  it still looks good to me

Interesting choices. I love the roof swap and decal choice. Not so sure about the grill screen.

The headlights are behind the screen.

Ah, I see what's going on. Despite the subject title, I wasn't aware of what a Brazilian Charger was, never heard of it. You've actually captured the look pretty well. Nice work.
