Color Me Gone What If F/C

[DAVE "THE DUKE" ARMSTRONG]

I have all the original kits to build the 1:1 Chargers and Challenger Color Me Gone F/Cs, I'll get around to build them all sometime. But I always had in mind a "What If"- ol' Roger had made a '70 'Cuda one of his Color Me Gone F/Cs?

This is a Revell stock '70 'Cuda body using the Rally hood; filled in the cut outs for the side mirrors, altered the chassis and tin work from a GTO Judge F/C (my go-to for these period F/C bulds, they're perfect, highly adaptable), parts box engine, tires, and wheels. Decals from Fred Cady, paint is Tamiya Racing Blue and True White. A couple of OOPS! but I like the way it came out.

Thanks Joe!
It's taken me a while to get used to retirement, not sure I'm really there yet; I SURE don't miss work, though! I love setting my own hours, do whatever the heck I want , WHEN I want. If I want to stay up 'til one in the morning reading or working on a model, so be it. My wife retired just two months ago, she's still trying to get used to it- but, she's always been ok with whatever I do, still is. I'm going to be chopping away at my model project list. I've got two more plane builds 2/3 done, and another car to start; just relearned an old lesson- get up and paint in the early morning. It's summer here in the desert, 110F and getting hotter. I paint outside, and the paint dries before it hits the model, dries in the airbrush needle. Lesson relearned!

Now that's a slick ride!
