tomsheehy Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Here's my latest, one I have been wanting to get to for a while. Its a 1962 Chevy Biscayne, built from the resin body from MCW Automotive Finishes combined with the AMT 62 Bel Air kit. I also used a bunch of parts from the current Revell 62 Impala such as the door handles, wipers, hub caps, and some detail decals. I also used a parts box 327/Powerglide powertrain, I think that originally came from the Revell 63 Impala kit. The paint is Tamiya, olive drab from their Military line and gloss black, all with a clear coat. Interior is from the Bel Air, painted Tamiya champagne, which is a close match to Chevy's fawn beige. I also used Scale Motorsports seat pattern decals. Keith Marks supplied the body decals, while Code 7 supplied the MSP decals. The police gear is mostly parts box stuff, the Federal "Junior Beacon Ray" came from a 1/32 toy or kit, but I can't remember which one.

exnyman Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 (edited) fantastic! I'm sure that build took a lot of fiddling to get right and you did a great job! I'm still stalled on my MCW 69 Biscayne which I'm doing as my Dad's company car he had in 69. Edited February 3, 2013 by exnyman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie8575 Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Wow, that came out nice. I like the suggestion of the champagne paint, I've been trying for a long time to figure out something that would work right for the fawn interior and that looks like it'll fit the bill just nicely.

bbsbase Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Even when I come from the motorcycle section, I take a look here from time to time. I like this model, very nice and clean build. Please let me know what TS Number is the Tamiya champagne, because I only find a golden color tone from Tamiya called chamagne and yours look right silver, like I need it for a project of mine.

I just got in a couple cans of TS75 to do a 64 Thunderbolt inter color , I was told to do it over a dark grey primer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it is TS-75, champagne gold. I painted it over Tamiya gray primer. It is a very light gold, but you can tell the difference from silver. Thanks everyone for the comments.
