1968 Dodge Charger R/T
Well, after a LONG break I am finally back into modeling. The new '68 Charger kit kicked it off for me. This build is going to a friend that owns a 1:1 '68 Charger. Right now it is rough, but the model will depict the finished car. I don't have much done yet except for painting the body and scratch building some side marker lights. The paint is Tamiya TS-19. It has not been polished or clear coated. I shot it directly onto the body without primer. I am going to give photoetching a shot. I have etched PCBs before. This isn't much different. I am going to scratch build a set of Mopar Performance Valve Covers. Well, enough talk. Here are some pics.

Re: 1968 Dodge Charger R/T
Nice color for the body. Your valve cover design could pass for the ones used on Magnum 318 - 360 engines. The stock ones have the lines without the logo in the middle.
Looks like a good project, TW |

Paint looks flawless and the side markers came out nice. Keep up the good work.

1968 Dodge Charger R/T - Tiny Update
Here is a small update. I have put some of the motor together. I borrowed the 727 auto trans from the '71 Charger.
As far as wheels go, I am not sure yet. Nothing too crazy. Probably something along the lines of your typical modded muscle car. I'll have to dig through the parts box. Tiny Update
