Re: '67 Dodge Charger 426 Hemi - Revell

i like that you separated the housings. gives i more of an authentic look that they are separate pieces. keep up the great work.

Not those wheels. Sorry, I just do not like modern style wheels on old cars like this. My suggestion would be some 18" Torque Thrust II or some 18" Halibrands.

Re: '67 Dodge Charger 426 Hemi - Revell

"rsxse240" I agree, I will use those provide by Revell.

Here is the test on front bumber, base gloss black and rub Kosutte Gin San over it. I liked a lot the old style look, I will repeat on the rear bump.


Body color...

Yeah, what's that, I've never heard of it? And you say it's a RUB? Not airbrushed like Alcad?

Re: '67 Dodge Charger 426 Hemi - Revell

There was another thread on this stuff in the main section of car modeling. Stuff looks to be pretty good. I'd like to get my hands on some. I have some of the gold powder which works quite well for military stuff, but I was never able to get a brilliant shine like that stuff.

Wolf95 and tigeraid

It's a powder and you have to rub not airbrushed like Alclad II. Read this Alclad II vs. Kosutte Gin San ...bye, bye Alclad!
I'm not sure, but this product is discontinued, if you find an old stock, buy it!

Re: '67 Dodge Charger 426 Hemi - Revell

I have no doubt it's discontinued due to health reasons. Metal powder is EXTREMELY toxic and can be absorbed through your SKIN! That and it might contain lead.

I really like the color you have chosen. are you planning on putting a stripe on it or something?
