Dom's Dodge Charger (The Fast and the Furious)

[tfcrafter]

My build of Dom's Charger Revell kit from The Fast and the Furious. Painted with Tamiya TS paints, with some light weathering done with oils and pigments. To modify the kit to be a bit more accurate to the movie, I added more supports for the roll bar, trimmed the license plate off the front, omitted the passenger seat, and moved a fire extinguisher to the floor. Also pictured is a comparison with my first ever model kit build, the '68 Charger. I'm very proud of the progress I've made the last 3 years of model building.

Excellent work here. And the paint looks really good, a nice deep shine there. Not always easy to achieve with black as it shows every tiny flaw.

Thank you! The Tamiya polishing compounds really helped. I'd originally thought I'd have to wet sand the gloss layer but the TS clear covered so evenly that it was unnecessary.
