Re: Revell 68 Hemi Dart with MCG Photo Etch Set
finally some more work done on this one.
I got a little further with the rear end and did some work on the interior. I just need to do the console and steering wheel/column
I used .8mm brass nuts from Scale Hardware and threaded them onto some Detail Master aluminum rod.
Made the keys
polished the interior parts
Got ahead of myself
I applied the foil before painting, then removed the paint with a firm conical swab
Painted, then weathered the panels, then applied the PE pieces
I don't have much experience with foil and I am still not great at it, but the point of this build is to better my skills and test a few things. I have no emotional attachment to it, so it doesn't need to be perfect.
I tried to do the dash, but I think it would have been better to use the same method as the door panels. Some of the foil got messed up. rather than messing with it and likely making it worse, i decided to leave it. It's not horrible
I used PE washers for the knob faces and the glovebox lock cylinder
It doesn't look this worn in real life, the pictures make it look way more weathered
The gauges are acetate from the Model Car Garage detail set.
