Have been working on this diecast Charger RT. It's not the most detailed kit but it think it will show well. Trying to do some detail work. Printed the wheel cover details and glued them on. Did the white walls with a gel pen. Painted the grey seat inserts. Painted the 440 the turquoise. I didn't wire the engine and the kit didn't come with the 440 magnum aircleaner decal. Just did enough to make it look better.

I did one. Not a bad metal kit. I added a vinyl top, BMF, side windows, and a shotgun in the back seat. Also did a destroyed version of the camera car.

I was thinking the front marker lights were a little far back on the fender, until I 'conferred' with GOOGLE: I guess they are that far back, for real!! LOL

great builds!! you may have to do a "how to" on how to perform those dents om that body.
and as far as those charger marker lights, yea, I think someone measured something wrong on those bad boys. they are way in no mans land. almost like they were an afterthought.

Dents and damage in metal = various Dremel bits + lots of patience

Remember, folks......a DREMEL on a die-cast body requires the use of SAFETY GLASSES!!!!!!!!!!

All are very cool! Was the camera car a metal or plastic kit?

Got it all together. So here it is. Here's the view McQueen saw. And all mustangs for that matter. Lol. Can you hear the music. Ta da tat, ta da tat, ta da tat. Lol I detailed it as per factory California car. Very little undercoating. Didn't have a scale shotgun. Lol Not a super detailed kit but it sits well I think.
