1972 chrysler vh valiant charger rt (fast 4 style)

[michelle]

This 3d resin printed body was accidentally printed closer to 1/20 scale then 1/25 scale so I had to use a chassis and wheels from a Jada diecast  fast 4 70 charger since alot of jada 1/24 scale diecasts are closer to 1/20 scale 
I had to fill in all the windows and paint them gloss black to hide the fack ther is  no interior 
I also made new south Wales version of dom's California license plate used on his 70 charger in the film
I painted the body rust-oleum 2x flat black primer
i used a silver sharpie to do the back bumper door Handles and head lights and indicator fender lights
i used dead ultra fine tip sharpie markers dipped in various apple barrel acrylic craft paints to do the taillights and rt badges

Nice work. Very sinister-looking hot rod. Good job!

Another interesting project. Thanks for the tip about using old markers as a paint brush, would make lettering easier.
