I had this kit home for a while and decided to build it last night and this morning finishing it up. Since it was raining i figured it would be cool to try some pics in it. I used Testors Red and 2 part clear and a lil polishing.

How did you build this in ONE night??????

What is the kit? Does it have a detailed engine under the hood?

Very NICE!!! I wish my 1:1 scale '93 LX was so easy to "build"!!!

i bought it as a diecast, except it came in black. I just repainted a few parts different colors and assymbled it over the night. I couldnt sleep so I stayed up most of the night builing and modifiying the kit.

{Mike} Well, you probably still have snow there...in colorado.
I was wondering chris, did you simply paint over the origonal finish, or manage to strip it down and repaint?
I have a new dicast challenger and have tried to strip tha oem paint off of it for the last 5 days and it refuses to budge!!!!!!! Oven cleaner{cold method type}, castrol purple clean...barely dents/lifts the paint...I'd love to know what they painted it with..."back metallic cast iron"?!
