El Hemi in Car Modeler Magazine

A 1995 article by Mike Siegman for Car Modeler magazine offers a fascinating look at how a car model came to life in the hands of Mopar enthusiast Juan Escalante, as an exact miniature of his father's 1970 Hemi Challenger.

 


Juan took a basic Monogram 1970 Challenger T/A model, and with parts from several other kits, many hand-built assemblies, and the patience of a confirmed craftsman, it became an accurately detailed 1/24th scale replica of EL HEMI. From the authentically and highly detailed Hemi engine (including spark plugs and wire harness) to the factory-applied Hemi Orange overspray, this accurate replica took over 300 hours to create!
