1968 Hemi RoadRunner *HIGH DETAIL*

[hemidaytona426]

This one is gonna be done for the Mopar nationals In a few weeks (Hopefully) I will try and detail it as much as I can. I will be using a few new Ideas I picked up off a couple of the other sites over time.



I painted it ModelMasters Dark Bronze Metallic and added Black stripes on the hood and fenders.





Then I painted up the Steelies and Dog Dish Caps



Next up is Polishing and waxing of the body Which was done with Turtle Wax Rubbing Compound and The Last Detail Model Wax, And Added the Vinyl Top and BMF













And finally The Chassis that is in progress I have yet to add fuel, and brake lines.



Time to tell how long i have to get 5 models done... I have 2 weeks
If I can Build one in three days and take home a first place I can build five in two weeks! ;D

Looking great. Next time you do the wheels, try cutting them from the sprue with an Exacto knife then file. It will eliminate the divots in the wheel lips.

[ONEBADMK8]
