Dodge Challenger Part 6

There has been a while since my last update, mainly due to numerous travels that kept me away from home.
I started to bring details painting on the chassis, the windows, and applied first coat of glossy paint on the body. There are a lot of orange peel at this point.
Cheers and i wish you a happy new year!

Dodge Challenger Part 5 - Dashboard

I've completed the dashboard, and interior is almost finished. Things looking good so far.

Dodge Challenger Part 4 - Seats

For the interior, i choose a two tones grey contrast to match with the glossy orange body.
I spend some time to use masking tape on seats and door panels, and it came out OK.
Little touches of silver here and there and decals on seats are nice.

Dodge Challenger Part 3 - Brakes

Brakes and suspensions are almost finished.
Brembo decals are a nice touch to provide details.
Suspensions were painted semi gloss black, i tried to paint red the springs in gloss red.

Dodge Challenger Part 2 - Engine

Engine is done, not much to tell, well defined and easy to build.

Dodge Challenger Part 1 - Review

Here is my next project which is in fact a birthday gift that i received from my brother family few months back. It's true that i generally prefer old cars but the new re-styling of big muscle cars are especially well done in the past years.
So, this is the Dodge Challenger by Revell, release of 09. Dodge made his come back with this new Challenger with a bold character (more successful to my taste than the new Charger) and big V8 Hemi. For 2015, a new slight restyling is done with Hellcatt supercharged version which is claiming to be the most powerful muscle car in production for these days (>700 HP).
The kit is very detailed, over 100 parts, much more than the AMT one which doesn't include engine. Not so much flash, there are two set of trims, detailed suspension, brakes, engine and a nice chassis.
I'm not still decided about the paint body color, red, orange and the trims, but coming soon.

Mustang - Part 21 - Final

Following the last part, i added windows, body and chassis together.
I consider now this one as done!
Well, i spent 6 months on this model (i know this is slow, but taking time is a good quality for a modeler) and in overall, i find this kit really good for a very nice car.
I have to improve myself on paint jobs but this is good start and i enjoyed building this kit.

Mustang - Part 20 - Clear coat

So, after painting the body with matt paint, i used gloss coat over it... and i don't know what happened, but the result is semi gloss...
I didn't want to redo all of it again, and decided to keep it like that. It's supposed to be a used car, so the paint is not brand new. I have others kits to work on shinny paint.
Then, I put on all the lights and bumpers.
