Since the wheels and tires have been sitting on the bench for a while now, I went and detailed them with Model Master Metalizer and then some Tamiya Panel Line Accent Color. This morning I put the wheels and tires together and mounted them to the chassis. Then I found out that the chassis has a slight twist to it.    More NCIS to come... |

Ugh! The dreaded twist. So annoying.  |

Thanks Deano and Mark! I think that once the body and interior are added and everything glued on, the twist will go away.

Another coat of primer on the Challenger body to check my work. Looks like I need to do more sanding. These lines still doesn't look right.    More NCIS to come... |

Primer, it either shows what a great job you've done or how much is left to do !! Carry on Mike, doing well.

Thanks Deano! I knew there was a reason why I liked primer for more than just helping paint stick to the body!  |

Thanks Jay! I wasn't too sure if the Hemi would fit in place of the 440, but it did. I need to paint the Challenger, now.

It has been a few months since I worked on the Challenger R/T and I decided to get back to it. I painted the hood, front valance and grille and the body with Tamiya TS-16 Yellow. Now to let this dry.    More NCIS to come... |

I coated the old decals with Microscale Liquid Decal Film with the hope of saving them We shall see...    More NCIS to come... |

Yes, it has been a while since I worked on Gibbs Challenger R/T. Last night I started assembly of the Challenger and I must say this is a challenge for me. Everything I touch on this model goes bad for me! I got the body, interior and chassis installed as one. The Revell 426 Hemi has been installed and fits the chassis perfectly. I am trying to find out if the Challenger had dual chrome side mirrors or just one and I need to paint the rear spoiler flat black.    More NCIS to come... |

Thanks leon! I painted the rear spoiler flat black. I added the front bumper from the Revell '70 'Cuda but it is wider than the AMT Challenger bumper and the shape on the ends are different. I guess I'm going back the AMT Challenger bumper and I have to rechrome it. The rear bumper and taillight panel have been installed.    More NCIS to come... |
