A few weeks ago I talked about my next project: after seeing the advertisement of Autotrader with Duke cousins I had come up with the idea for the orange SRT Viper and the 2006 Dodge Charger used by the Police of Hazzard County. These days, waiting to find the right pieces to complete the turbo engine of the Dodge Charger used by Cale Yarborough, I started working on what will become the car of the Police. The transformation is quite simple: the car will be completely dismantled, stripped and painted brilliant white. Then I will prepare the decals for the doors, I will apply a flashing light (ordered from the US) on the roof and on the muzzle a bullbar recovered from a modified General Lee. Lastly rims will be painted black. Inside, however, there will carry out any changes. We read again in the next few days for some other news about it!

   I must admit that in recent times I use more time removing paint from a model than to modify and paint it. As I wrote on the forum, in fact, I'm making it increasingly difficult to remove the original paint from the models: in particular, on this 2006 Dodge Charger remove the paint was a really difficult feat: it did not want to come off! In addition to rest, after removing the paint and having plastered the spoilers holes that were removed, I applied the bright white paint, but I had the bad idea to use a paint of a different brand than usual. Result: it did not adhere to the body as it should and it's casting all sides. For this reason I had to remove paint from the car a second time! In the pictures, you will see the model without paint and the last preparation for painting with primer, as well as to the two bumpers that are coming very well. Tonight, I'm going to buy back the usual paint Saratoga, then I will definitely paint the model and tomorrow I will start to reassembly the entire car. Cross your fingers !!

   I did it! Finally, with the right paint, the 2006 Dodge Charger has been painted properly! The final yield of brilliant white is fabulous (it's the same color used for the Cale Yarborough's Dodge Charger) and this evening I will start with the reassembly of the model, but first I have to finish to complete the painting of some internal details. At that point, I will be able to apply the flashing light on the roof, the bullbar on the front and the decals on the sides. I can not wait to finish it ... it lasted too long! See you tomorrow!

   Sorry for the delay, but these days I have been quite busy with my job! However I continued to work on the 2006 Dodge Charger 2006: I painted black profiles on the doors, I stuccoed and painted black the inside of the roof and the bullbar and I finally reassembled the car just to see how it was coming temporarily . Monday I'll post some more updates, since the weekend I'll work on it! Have a nice weekend!

   During the weekend I was able to add some details to the Police Dodge Charger. As I told you a few weeks ago, I recycled a bullbar advanced by a General Lee and with minor changes I managed to catch it in the air intakes in the front bumper. In addition, I added the lightbar on the roof and I prepared decals related to the Hazzard County Sheriff. Tomorrow I will print them with my job's printer and then I will apply them to the car so I could consider it finished! See you soon with more news!

   Finally I can say that I have completed the Dodge Charger used as Police cars in the Autotrader TV spot! After preparing the decals with my PC, I printed them on adhesive paper and I applied to the sides of the model. Of course I also prepared the two plates that you can see during the TV spot: at the end I chose the one that looks best (KPI59Y3) as you can also see in the picture above. Finally, I painted matt black the side mirrors, I reapplied the mirror decals and glued them to the lateral front doors. Now I can finally put it in the display cabinet to start the orange Viper used by the Duke cousins to replace the General Lee.
