Here are some pics of a Monogram '55 Chevy I just finished. The model is mostly stock with some added engine wiring, Model Car Garage grill and scripts, and Pegasus wheels. Paint is House of Kolor Kandy Organic Green over Testors Metalizer Brass, along with HOK Black and Clear.

Any comments, positive or negative, are welcome. Thanks for looking.

Your color scheme for the Car might seem alitte akward. . But it ###### sure is a great color combination. Excellent job on this model.

Beautiful work. Is the chrome trim BMF? If so, that's one of the smoothest jobs I've seen.

Thanks for the kind comments, guys.

Skip, the chrome trim on the front fenders is BMF. The rest of the chrome comes with the kit.

About 100 years I had a tether Race Green, that those Colors and with Chrome Exhaust, and like you 55 Chevy, it was the Hotest Car ever.

I love it!!
