The Build<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My motivation for building this kit came from the fact that I ordered a 1:1 Challenger. It is the earlier version of the challenger where mine is a ’21. There aren’t any options for the refresh or even the widebody versions of the challenger so this would have to do. I did buy the correct color: F8 green!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Body<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A few years ago, I build the Revell Dodge Magnum. It was a really straightforward build with minor issues. The Challenger was no different. The body took minimal work to prep it for paint. I did attach the rear bumper before paint. There were minor fit issues and was happy to get the piece attached and corrected. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Soon after, I sprayed all the body color parts Automotivetouchups.com F8 green. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Before clear, I attached the front bumper with tape to help align the decals. Once that was done, I was ready to spray clear-coat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I used automotive 2 part clear for clear-coat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

After letting the paint set for a few days, I sanded and polished the body. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Soon after, I masked and sparyed all of the black trim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Chassis\/Engine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Every other part was prepped, attached to sticks and sprayed their respective colors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Before attached all of the suspension, drive train and exhaust, the chassis was sprayed body color and then masked to spray the heat shields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The engine was a very straight forward build and slipped into place with no fuss. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Interior<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Challenger’s interior for my Challenger is all black from the factory. Although it is hard to make details pop on a solid black interior, I used the SRT decals for the seats and did my best to pick out as many details as possible. I also flocked the interior. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The decals for the dashboard help to break up the solid color. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Windshield<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Normally, I don’t focus on one part. However, I managed to snap mine while polishing it. I was just about to glue it in place! I wanted to buy another kit, just for the windshield, but unfortunately, the Revell Challenger was not in production for long and kit prices are through the roof! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I read about creating a buck out of the broken part and use a soda bottle and a heat gun to form the piece. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It took me a few tries but I was finally able to get a piece that turned out really well. Before I cut away the part, I marked the edges, and the line for the black outline. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

After trimming the new glass, I masked and sprayed the black trim and glued it in place. It isn’t perfect but I’m still really happy with it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Assembly<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Once all of the major components were ready, the kit fell together. Below, the chassis is fully assembled and ready to be attached to the body. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The main components were detailed, year marked and ready for assembly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The last parts to be attached were the tail pipes and license plate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Done!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Challenger was a really great build that turned out very well. It’s not a copy of my new 1:1 Challenger but it still looks great! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I went a little crazy with the F8 green and finished a 1\/64th scale challenger as well as a Honda CRX.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As you can see, the Automotivetouchups.com F8 green is a perfect match to the original paint on my Challenger!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
