StanGlover Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 I’m finally finished with this Supernatural Impala build! After two botched paint jobs, fighting the ill-fitting body-to-chassis marriage, smudged Molotow at the last second, and never ending static/dust, it’s safe to say this model was equally as cursed as the Winchester boys from the show! It came together in the end, but there’s a fair amount of blemishes that don’t show in the pictures. Built box stock, except for the tires which came from the AMT ‘66 Mustang Coupe. The tires that came in this kit were very rough with flash and fit the rims poorly. The car from the show never actually had white letter tires, but I think they look pretty cool here. I modified the steering rack to make wheels pose-able by cutting the tabs off where the rack glues to the chassis, and simply not gluing the steering knuckles. I left off the A pillar spotlights just to get it finished but I might add them later. Overall my build looks good enough for my shelf so I’m happy with it. I’m glad to have a model of a pretty sweet and unusual (hero cars are RARELY four-doors!) TV car in my collection! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMT68 Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Paint and trim detailing look great. I recently completed the coupe version and the body to chassis also wasn't the smoothest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bisc63 Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 I love how it sits like a real car; you NAILED the stance. Very nicely done model, and you'd never know from the finished product that it gave you fits! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
