Now here's a topic near and dear to my own heart as I own a 1/1 scale SS. My avatar is a pic of me in the driver's seat. I love my SS. It really is two tons o' fun!
Revell-Monogram do a '94 SS in 1/25 scale. It's a pretty good kit that started life as their '92 Caprice police car/taxi (as did the real Impala), and there are some things about the kit that just plain tick me off such as the old Goodyear Radial GTs instead of the correct BFG Comp T/A ZR4s and the totally incorrect engine (they "dressed up" the cop car's 305 to look like the SS's LT1 but it just ain't righteous, period.), but all in all you can really build a nice SS from the kit.
My editor has been suggesting to me for some time to do an article for MODEL CARS Magazine on accurizing the Revell SS kit, even converting it to a '96 to match my real one (as I have already done). What do you guys think? I appreciate the opinions.
Thanks!
