Richard Bartrop Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 The kit is the 1967 issue of the '32 Imperial without the Gangbusters extras, but some very nice box art. This 1931 Imperial is the basis for the eventual colour scheme. A lot of classics have their chassis painted to match the body, but apparently Chrysler just painted the Imperial chassis semi gloss black. The body is done in Humbrol #20 Crimson, though the fenders will eventually be in a slightly darker colour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Macleod Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 I am going to use a different set of colors but should be able to play along. I'm thinking something that could compliment my '30 Cord. I really like where you are going with yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Bartrop Posted September 11, 2020 Author Share Posted September 11, 2020 A little more progress. Originally I was going to add a little Humbrol gloss black to the Crimson for the fenders, but they were out, and apparently, the odds of any more are nil, so I'm going to try some Testors paint to see if I can get close to what I want. In the meantime, the colour the Soviets used to paint the inside of their fighters is a close match to what Chrysler was painting their engines, so I got a bottle of Model Master's version, and painted the engine block.
