1973 Dodge Charger - wip
1:25
First layer of black (semi gloss). I decided to leave the path of a rattle can paint job.
Projekt: 1973 Dodge Charger

Christian WMe too 😉 I think I'm going on with that hood. The chances to get the right on ist nearly Zero.

Chris ParsonsAah….been there, done that. I know your pain young Jedi!
I had the original as well at one time, re-powered with a 68 440 six pack, never going back to build another real "muscle car" but nice to have a representation of it at the least.
I converted the AMT 1971 body to a 73/74 body (it's a much cleaner mold) but used parts from Revell/ Monogram B body kits to get there in the end…musta used at least 4 other kits for parts. Scariest part was changing the rear side windows shapes from sweeping up to sweeping down. I may have pictures here somewhere…not sure but, I'm pretty sure I posted the build thread on Britmodeller if your interested
22 June, 14:36
Christian W@Chris ... That was my first thought when I read the first sentences, where you wrote that you converted the 1971 into that: the small window at the side and the c-post. I'll do a research on britmodeller to see, what you've done. On that point, it is too much work for me to go such a way. I want do have the kit done in December. I know, the details "under the body" could be better, but when it sits in the shelf, it doesn't matter somehow. For my needs, it is ok. It's only the hood, what concerns me for accuracy with the look to the movie car.

Christian W@Chris ... I found your thread. But sadly there are no pictures anymore.

Chris ParsonsI've found and added some images of my finished model here, no longer have images of the w.i.p. No idea what happened to them, you may be able to use (or not) for your build. The images are in my "Albums"

Bill NewcomerI have never seen hobby paint crack like that. What is the carrier, enamel, lacquer, water?
13 July, 02:51
Bob HallI thought it was cat hair at first glance and I was going to suggest, it time to shave the cat, but I see it's more of a deep rooted issue ! 🤔
13 July, 02:59
Christian WThanks for your comments. First when I came into my hobby room I also thought it is a hair but... you see. I don't know, what went wrong. I used my rattle cans as on every model kit I built for years.
@Bill I don't know, what the colors are based on. As soon as I had no issue with them I didn't care.
The Dodge sits in a bath to get the paint of. After 24 hours the black was gone. Usually the primer stays on the body. In this case it was as usual 😄 but the hood is sticky and some parts of the body too. The crap goes on.
In the time of hoping and praying 😄 I took the bumper to get rid of that bumperettes.
15 July, 04:19
Nigel ChapmanIs it a chemical reaction with the different paint colours?
Do you use the same paint manufacturer for your rattle cans?
16 July, 10:49
Christian WMaybe and no 😉
I do not know, whether it is a chemical reaction or something else. The manufacturer are different. I had the same issue with a
-> black Pontiac (easily 5 years ago - Pontiac Firebird - RIP | Album by Dominik (1:25)),
-> blue F40 (finished in 2017 - 1987 Ferrari F-40, Revell #7327 | Album by christian-w (1:24)) and
-> black Viper (Restoration in 2022). But the cracks came after some months or years and not within 24 hours.
-> KARR after
Now, when I'm writing this lines, I remember, that
-> another Pontiac got cracks in 2022 too (1989 Pontiac Firebird (red) for a friend - wip | Album by christian-w (1:25)).
The filler was the same but the body color was another manufacturer like on the Dodge. But the cracks came after clear cote. So ....
What do they have in common?
Filler? Yes. Only the Viper has old color under the new painting (it was a restoration - paint remover followed by a new paint job)
Color? Different manufacturer
Clear coat? Not all of them. Only KARR, the red Pontiac and F40.
Cracks came between 24 hours (Dodge), 9 months (red Pontiac) a couple years (F40). Also the time between the different layers vary or the question about a wet sanding and painting over it. There are a minimum of 2 days between the steps. Usually weeks, especially with clear coat.
I don't see a clear pattern.
16 July, 12:41
shadowlightJust some more thoughts about what do they have in common...
- moisture, temperature and air condition in your working room
- air pressure and paint thinner
I am very sorry that this happened to you btw.
16 July, 16:16
SkyhikerNot sure if this applies but cracks can happen if the under paint drys slower than the top coat. This can sometimes happen when you use a laquer or oil based paint and then add on top a faster drying acrylic or water based top coat that is too thick.
16 July, 18:15
Christian WThank you for your suggestions.
@Skyhiker .... I think I can skip this reason mostly because. There were 9 days between base coat and the black. Before I painted it black, I wet sanded it and let it sit 2 days for drying. I think, that was enough time.
@shadowlight .... moisture and temperature could be a reason. Because I used my rattle cans for painting, I was outside. In this case in the evening hours and not middays. The day was sunny itself but when I painted it, the sun was nearly gone. Thanks! I'll keep that in mind.
Another little step done: removing the bumperetts.
17 July, 06:27
Christian WAt the weekend I sanded a lot of the filler down. The surface should be smooth enough. Yesterday I did another try to get it black. This time I used ma airbrush to paint it. And I skipped another layer of base coat 😄 At this time I don't care. I just want to have the paintjob done.
5 August, 04:28
BozzerChristian, I don't care what anyone says, picture 20 looks awesome, and I would've just rolled with that, and stuck it in a diorama of a kid, trying to fix it up. I doubt that I'd ever be able to get that look, and you nailed it by accident! I gotta admit though, that black looks nice 👍
5 August, 23:27
Christian WYou've nailed it. That were my thoughts too. If the next try fails, then I'll go with a restoration project. I'm not a person who throws model kits into the trash.
Thank you for your lines.
6 August, 08:25
Nigel ChapmanChristian, Your perseverance has paid off handsomely, that new paint job looks ace
6 August, 10:50
Christian WThank you. Yesterday I took it but I didn't do anything with it. I'll go for another wetsanding job. Why? Hm. Stupidity is sometines an a-hole. When I brushed the underside of the hood, it went off of the "holder", flipped and landed with the freshly painted side on the ground of my paint booth. You can imagine, that tehre is still some dirt on the ground. So that dirt is now on the hood scoop. Lesson learned: keep the parts better on the "holder".
I guess, that I have to give it another layer of black before even thinking about doing the clear cote.

Łukasz GlińskiMe 3, I have to see that! Still procrastinating mine 😄
Thomas, are you considering getting rid of the decal with my support perhaps? 😉
26 July, 20:14
Thomas KolbŁukasz, I am not going to use the provided decal sheet, so if you want it, just PM me with your address and I can post it.
26 July, 21:48
Thomas Kolb(And for everybody else with knowledge about the different versions of the Yak-12, yes, I am aware of the differences between the A-version in the kit and the R-version used by the Hungarian People's Army. But since I am not able to scratch build the entire wing and empennage structure, let's just call it artistic license.)
28 July, 11:08
Thomas KolbThank you very much, dear gentlemen for your attention and encouraging words!
31 July, 14:48
Bruce HuxtableAdmiring your skills, and learning from your problem-solving, Thomas. Transforming an A-Model kit adds to the challenges 😉
4 August, 15:36
Thomas KolbThank you Michael, Nicolas & Bruce for your interest and compliments! This kit is actually not quite as bad as some other Amodel kits I have built - the designers have created some pretty nifty solutions here! If anything, it is a bit unforgiving - make one small mistake and you can be sure that it will keep coming back to kick you.
5 August, 20:35
Bernhard PetheWunderbarer Modellbau. Ich hab das Modell auch noch liegen und genauso wollte ich es auch machen. Mal sehen, wenn ich groß bin. 😉
9 August, 16:24
Thomas KolbBernhard, danke schön! 🙂 Ja, es ist ein ziemlich kniffliges Modell, aber es macht großen Spaß, es zu bauen!
9 August, 17:17
NicolasYes Thomas, I don't think you get any easy builds from Amodel. But with some work you get a nice and rare model. I realy like your progress. 👍
9 August, 19:22
Thomas KolbBruce, Lukasz, Cuajete, Nicolas, thank you! Yes, Amodel is actually cool in that they take a chance to make models outside the ordinary. Who else would design a model kit of a strange and ugly little high-winged Soviet aircraft instead of another Stuka, Tomcat or a Spitfire?
10 August, 08:01
Thomas KolbRoland thank you mate! Cuajete, yes, this is the best gloss coat I have ever tried. It levels out to an absolute mirror shine (at least if it is applied to a perfectly smooth paint layer). This model ended up with a bit of orange peel effect at some places, so it is not absolutely perfect, but I can get away with it.
10 August, 18:54
Thomas KolbHereby I declare the project finished! Quite a fast progress for me, only three weeks from start to finish. It may not be the best model I have ever built - there are too many silly or clumsy mistakes here and there - but it was great fun! More photos will come!
12 August, 07:50
Łukasz GlińskiThat escalated quickly and nicely 👍
Where did you get the snow from in August? I know it's up north, but still... 😉
12 August, 08:13
S MThe short-run-kit looks really difficult to work with, but you have mastered it. Top model!
13 August, 08:14
Christian W » FunkciókérésI found an issue: when I look up a model kit (for example "revell shelby series" - SCM Search: revell shelby series) I get an overview like supposed. Then I scroll down to the section with projects. In this case there is only one listed. But I know, that my brother built two.
I switch to the kit (07379) and there are his two project (Shelby Series 1 (Revell 07379, 1:25))
So the listing in the overview has some missing projects. 🙂

scalematesWe only find projects based on their title/description and not based on the brand of a kit.
The reason you find one because it has "Revell" in the title
I'll see if I can make this automatic
20 January, 15:33
Christian WMaybe you can use the connection of a kit (number) to a project? Would this be possible?
From the doing the member is able to connect several kits to any project. So maybe the other way round (read out, which connections a kit to what project(s) or (?) album it has) can solve that?
Can you follow my thoughts?
