Faust Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 (edited) Well it’s finally done! The Revell 1964 Chevy Fleetside is the first pickup truck kit that I’ve ever built, although I do have many others in the stash. It was similar to a car, which was nice, but it was also a nice break, with some distinct differences in build order and challenges. I was originally attracted to this kit because it was something different from what I normally build, and I figured it would give me a chance to paint something in nice, ‘60s colours and with some chrome on it. I’m not that used to chrome, since so much of my stuff is 80’s-era, wherein all trim was blacked out to be “Euro style”. I have to say I’m very pleased with the result, although it wasn’t as easy to achieve as I might have thought it would be, given how relatively simple the build looked. Still, it’s one of the most eye-catching pieces in my display, and I enjoyed having something with whitewalls and chrome. Check out the build, with more pictures, at the link below. Let me know what you think, as always! https://adamrehorn.wordpress.com/model-kits/cars/revell-1-25-1964-chevy-fleetside/ Edited February 14, 2018 by Faust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f1ford48 Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Fine attention to detail- you even painted the white area surrounding the grill insert-most people miss that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoopdog Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 (edited) Fantastic looking build, looks like it just came off the dealers lot. Edited February 15, 2018 by shoopdog add on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faust Posted February 16, 2018 Author Share Posted February 16, 2018 Thanks a lot, guys! I'm glad that you guys all like it, and that my attention to detail shows through! I really find the white around the grille to be a... strange thing. it's a weird place to just randomly put another colour of paint, but it looks good on a two-toned truck! I'm also glad that you think it looks dealer-fresh, Keith. That's exactly what I was going for! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
