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.

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"?!

i sanded it down to the factory primer with 320 grit automotive sand paper. I dont like useing csc or oven cleaner.
I hear ya...the stuff doesn't work anyway...I took my car to work and hit it with the wire wheel...ahhhh, bare metal! And I may have cut the top off on the cut off wheel too........
