Well it's done but I'm not super happy with it. Final assembly was a bigger pain than it should have been. Things didn't want to line up correctly, some parts needed a lot of trimming to get to fit and there was a bunch of flash on parts and sprues. It's quite obvious that the body didn't fit quite right on the chassis. . #hobbies #scalemodels @vallejocolors @paascheairbrush #mpcmodels #round2models #1969dodgecharger (at Ducktown, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPBagxehFNL/?utm_medium=tumblr

Nearly complete. Got it varnished last night so it should be cured enough by this evening to finish assembly. . #hobbies #scalemodels #mpcmodels #round2models #1969dodgecharger (at Ducktown, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CO-0P4Th-59/?igshid=1852zj9yjiopy

Engine assembly mostly done. Interior parts painted. Believe it or not, the tan used on the interior is Apple Barrel Khaki craft paint from Walmart. . #hobbies #scalemodels @vallejocolors @paascheairbrush @applebarrelcrafts #mpcmodels #round2models #1969dodgecharger (at Ducktown, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/COtu0jzhE9J/?igshid=je7mfsdi0ok6

Wheels assembled. Most of the parts painted and ready for assembly. Not pictured are the interior parts that will be tan/beige and the body which needs detailing with chrome paint. . #hobbies #scalemodels @vallejocolors @paascheairbrush #mpcmodels #round2models #1969dodgecharger (at Ducktown, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/COsUxqBBuX0/?igshid=as1sjzp11yvb

Might be hard to tell since the kit was cast in black plastic, but I got everything primed last night so I can start painting the parts. . #hobbies #scalemodels #mpcmodels #round2models #69dodgecharger (at Ducktown, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/COfejBshjH0/?igshid=1cjvvoeeo2l4c

Color test. Getting ready to build a '69 Dodge Charger molded in black plastic but would rather paint it a shade of blue. Tested @vallejocolors Dark Blue (70.930) and Dark Sea Blue (70.898). Tried both over black primer and grey primer (left) and then again mixed with Metal Medium (70.521) (right). . So far I'm leaning toward Dark Blue over black primer. That's the third spoon down on the left. The metal medium didn't work like I hoped it would. . #hobbies #scalemodels #dodgecharger #painttest #mpcmodels #round2models (at Ducktown, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/COVrhSvBUd3/?igshid=ejqggzj97u76
