'68 Revell Dodge Dart!!!!
Posted by cruz on Sunday, December 26, 2010 12:18 PM

Finally got this one completed, it is for a club member in Maryland who is a big Mopar fan. Paint is Scalefinishes Dodge F Light Green Metallic. I decided to use Testor's Lacquer Clear for the first time even though I prefer Tamiya Clear but I think it turned out alright after some wetsanding and polishing. Went with some Cragars instead of kit rims and tires. Had to slightly lower it to get the stance you see, thought it would've been a bit to high. Hope you guys like......

Very nice build Cruz.  It's got the 'fresh off the the show room floor' quality.  Again, impressive build.

Very nice clean build Cruz. One question. What did you use for the chrome on the bumpers and wheels? Really looks great.

Nice looking Dart Cruz!  Bow Down You can really see the shine in the paint.  Those wheels look good on that car.  Good choice to not use the kit wheels.

Thanks for the comments guys!! Jim, the bumpers come with the kit exactly  how you see them, they are not altered in any way. Same goes with the rims.....

Nice car man! You done a great job! Especially like the chassis detail and the Bare-Metal Foil, I'm assuming that's what you used on the trim, on the windsheild and rear window trim, etc. LOVE THEM MOPARS!!!!Bow Down
