triumphfan Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 I built this from the Revell F&F boxing 'Dom's Charger'. I must admit to only having seen the first film in the F&F series..... It's really not my thing 🙂 although, I do love some of the cars! The kit parts do not include a rear seat, luckily one was donated by a fellow modeller through FB. I did some detailing in the engine bay, spent quite a bit of time thinning the supercharger drive belt down to a more appropriate thickness. Wheels were swapped out for Pegasus T's in the big 'n' little style. If you look carefully, you can just make out the ignition key in the steering column! Paint is Mr Hobby GX Deep Clear Red over their gold base, followed by several coats of GX112 UV cut gloss clear. The front grille part had damaged chrome so I elected to strip the kit chrome and use Molotow through my airbrush. 27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was worried about the stance looking odd as the rear wheels are as far up in the arches as they will go. I was considering modding the arches in the early stage of the build. However, the mock up looked ok so I went with it. The fronts are 19" and the rears are 23". I did mock it up with 19"s all round but it just didn't look right. Atb, Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revell did a great job on the pistol grip shifter, I had to try my best to paint the details in 🙂 Atb, Steve. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spiny Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 The Charger is quite a big car, and with that excellent paint job I imagine it catches the eye very well on the display shelf. Very nice model all round. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neddy Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Y'know, the more I look at this car the more there is to admire - the deep paint finish, sumptuous interior and exquisitely detailed engine bay in particular. The precision and standard of finish achieved make it a really stand-out model. This is one to be truly proud of. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the build really took a turn when that rear seat was donated. Just goes to show the strength of our community, whether it's sites like this or social media. Atb, Steve.

Davi Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Amazing result! The color is fantastic and love the combi with the white interior. I think I saw another car not too long ago here that had a similar colorscheme which was also looking as a great combo. The engine bay looks really impressive with all the details you've added. Cool!
