My favorite kit of all time: `70 Challenger T/A (pics inside)
This is probably the 5th one of these kits I have built, and I have 6 more left!
  I used Tamiya light green spray, which is surprisingly close to the Chrysler light green some of these cars came in. One thing I have learned from this kit is that "The Treatment" model wax works wonders!!!! It makes the finish very smooth and glossy, and fills in tiny scratches from wet sanding/compound. I`ll post pictures of my other Challenger for comparison once I get it back from the contest it was in. I am looking forward to seeing a real one of these in real life:

interesting on the wax - where you'd get it?
btw, I can definitely see why this is your favorite kit, it's a very smooth and aggressive muscle car! I can almost hear the rumble of the V8!

Thanks, guys. The other 6 kits are actually factory sealed originals from 1984, so they probably wont get built. The model wax I found in a local hobby store. I am pretty sure you can get it through mail order though. I think I remember seeing it in Scale Auto Enthusiast.

I`m not sure what TS color it is. Unfortunately, I already threw the can away.
 Would TS-17 sound right? I know it says on the top of the can "light green" and looks minty green. I`ll try to get more pics of the engine and undercarriage if you want to see them.

Ah, that's one of the muscle cars I'd love to own IRL someday....
There's a 440 roadrunner GTX around town here with almost the same paint job, I think your model looks better than his real car
