Hey guys
Heres another of my builds that im working on at the moment.
The Kit - Lindbergs fantastic kit, has almost 200 parts!!! full engine detailed & the most detail chassis i have ever seen, suspension & chassis parts total over 30!!!!! Molding is pretty crisp, not Tamiya crisp but close.
Modifications, Ive decided to do a fancy paint job & use some better rims.
The kit rims look good on the box but are not the same, the kit tyres are huge!! So ive swapped them for some 20" rims. Im going for a nice street car thats subtle & a bit of a sleeper, but still looking mean
So heres some pics
Bad pic, Excellant kit

Base colour - Tamiya Light Gunmetal

I saw Clay Kemps build of a NASCAR charger & thought it was a freakn awesome paint job, so I decided to replicate it, but in different colours.
Heres the masking for the next shade of grey

Main paint job finished, colours are Tamiya , Light Gun Metal, Gun Metal & Metallic Black. Will add splatter effect aswell

Heres the wheels, side by side to show the difference
http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s258/da_ashman/Charger%20SRT8/Models044Large.jpg
The New Wheels have a staggered fitament and are massively wider than the Stock wheels, Imagine the handling difference!!!
http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s258/da_ashman/Charger%20SRT8/Models047Large.jpg
Due to the wheels being massivly wider, ive had to cut & tub the rear wheel wells, added 2.5mm inwards

Interior, instructions say Semigloss black, ref pics show a very dark grey, my pic looks a little light with the flash on, but looks pretty accurate

Hemi Engine, pretty standard. will change intake later

Thats all for now, will hopefully have some updates soon, just gotta go find some Future floor polish for the clearcoat.
Thanks for looking, let me know what you think
