2021 Dodge Charger R/T by AMT - Episode 70

Today I’m building this all new tooling 2021 Dodge Charger R/T by AMT. This build went as smooth as butter on a hot biscuit, and I’m not kidding ya. The tolerances between the parts are spot on. The only things that I had any issues with were the window templates and that I had to enlarge a bunch of the alignment holes. Other than that it went together beautifully.
I hope that you enjoyed watching this video as much as I did building the kit.

Great Build....I like the talking 😃

[@scaleautoguysworkbench]

Thank you! and thank you for liking the talking. I have come to realize that it draws the videos out a bit and I was wondering if that was causing any issues. Thanks again

[@toddmeader2362]

Great build ! I prefer full complete long video, with talking on frustration , on kits !!

[@scaleautoguysworkbench]

Thank You! I am happy to hear that you prefer talking through the video. I was somewhat concerned about that because it does add length to the video and I wasn't sure if folks preferred that or not. Thanks for the feedback!

I like the pearl in the paint. As for glue...I use about 4 or 5 different ones depending on what I want it to do. Tamiya for unpainted parts. Bob Smith Industries for painted parts. Each one has a different set time. And sometimes clear 5-minute epoxy when I know I'll need some time to move it. I like the talking btw. 🤙

[@scaleautoguysworkbench]

Thank you! I was wondering if I was doing to much talking, or not enough... It causes the videos to go to long and I haven't found a way yet to keep the length down and still convey a message or thought to you the viewer. Thanks for adhesive advice. I have only ever used the orange tube and the Mod Podge. I did use CA glue for a while but discovered that I didn't care to much for it. Thanks again!

Thank you! and Thank You for watching!

Awesome work, appreciate the tips along the way, it will be helpful when I get around to building mine :D

[@scaleautoguysworkbench]

I'm glad that you found valuable information in my video. I try to point out the good and bad while I'm building in the hope that others will know what to watch out for when they build theirs. Thanks for watching!

Not a 100% sure on the taillights, but. A lot of newer vehicles have LED lighting, and on some. The red is only red when they are on. So, that may be duplicating something like that ? You may want to look at some pics of the real thing.

[@scaleautoguysworkbench]

Thanks for the great reply! I have, like always, do a Google search for the real vehicle before starting a build. I look at the interior, exterior, the undercarriage, and multiple engine compartment angles. I don't recall seeing anything that represent that taillight decal. Everything looked just like I built it with just the red lens over simulated lights. It's all confusing what that decal was for but in the end it turned out good.

Thank you for sharing; When assembling painted parts, what type of glue are you using? recommend?

[@scaleautoguysworkbench]

I use the orange tube glue on pretty much everything with one exception and that is the Mod Podge Dimensional Magic. I use the Mod Podge for doing around windows and sometime when I am gluing on headlight lenses etc. I always clean paint from surfaces where I am going to glue because the glue adheres to bare plastic better. As far as recommending a glue... Well, there are a plethora of available glues on the market for doing this hobby and unfortunately I only have experience with the two that I have previously mentioned.
