Had this kit over 25 years. Saw it in the box started. Years ago I had started with a the AMT Charger 500 and added a resin nose. I painted it white at first then decided to strip it and paint it A2 silver with the red rear stripe and wing. I know it’s quality is way below the Revell Daytona but rather than just forget about it why not just try to make it at least presentable. Interior is now finished in red. Wish I had a 440 instead of the Hemi but that’s what I had for it. Inspiration came from this rare one of two Daytonas painted A2 silver with red rear wing. Unfortunately I sanded off the Charger Script on the sail panels years ago. I can’t remember why. And I don’t have decals to replace them. I guess one day I’ll come across a set and put them on. All I have to do now is tape off the tail light panel and airbrush it flat black and do the foil and chrome paint.

Oh I got the fender scoops and wing from another AMT Daytona kit. I put that body in the Charger 500 box. That way I can still build up another if I want to.

Thanks had to reshoot the hood because for some reason it was darker than the rest of the body. This time I made sure I hit it a little dryer to get the silver brighter. I matched it up with the body and it looks ok. We’ll see how it looks after I clear it.

That is striking! The red accents and redline tires really compliment the silver. A great big "Well Done" for this one.

nice job!! you matched the decal red very well. great color combo. Thanks Al. Most of the rear stripe is paint except for the the part I taped off to insert the part of the decal that says Daytona. I guess it was just luck that I matched the color. 😂
