Revell 1966 Impala SS
Finally got this baby done. Paint is Testor's flat red with Testor's Wet Look clear lacquer. Tires are Miniatures and Replicas Co. of Maryland resin. I decided to go with the rally wheels from another model in my stash.

Re: Revell 1966 Impala SS
VERY well done!
The paint and all the small details really make this complete.
That is super clean and really stands out with how clean everything is.
I am sure it takes a lot of effort to look this simple.
I think when a model is done right, the small details go unnoticed simply because they look right and this model captures that for me..... it just looks RIGHT.
A+!!!!!
Andy

Wow Cruz, won't be back for a month so I won't be able to see it in person, this thing is just awesome. Can you share the interior pictures? This thing should be in the cover of a magazine, and I mean a real car magazine!

Re: Revell 1966 Impala SS
If it wasn't for the fact that its posted on a model car forum, this car could very easily be mistaken for the real deal.

The fit, and finish is flawless .

Nothing out of the ordinary my friend, too bad we have not gotten together so that you may see in in person, our work schedules are always out of whack. I just added some seat belts and black flocking for the floor.
