Just finished this kit after a long period of time. Chrome plated parts were very poor in the kit - looked like matt aluminum - had to be rechromed. I used Molotows Liquid Chrome which worked excellent.

Thanks everybody!

Thanks Monty! I used Tamiya TS-54 (Light metallic blue) for the body and a mixture of blue shades for the interior. Ludwig

Thank You guys for Your positive comments!

A vintage Jo-Han kit. Fun to build and very precisely manufactured back in the day.

Thanks guys! I would like to build more or thoses huge fullsize cars and station wagons of the early 1970s but there are not very much of those available as 1:25 model kits.

I built this kit which was intended as a police car as a family cruiser. Exterior Paint is Tamiya pearl blue.

some additional photos taken outside this afternoon:

Thanks! I tinted the windshield with "clear blue" (can) by Tamiya. But I never mask the lower section of the windshield for a realistic look of that stripe, so You have to pay attention not to apply too much of that clear blue. Best way is to train on a clear part You don't need anymore to get used to it.

Thank You guys! Patrick: Exterior color is Tamiya light sand metallic (TS 700), interior color ist wooden deck tan (TS 68), both rattle cans.

1958 Ford TBird (Revell-Monogram), mildly customized.

Mark, I used a mixture of blue and chrome silver - both Tamiya colors - for the interior and sprayed it by air brush.

A real beauty!

Thank You, guys!

A reissue of AMT's 65 Lincoln Continental. An old kit with may custom parts allowin to build a station wagon (that never existed, of course) except for a set of white walls.

Thanks again, guys! @#70 Grande (Mark): I attached a stripe of BMF to the section if the Body, where I had to glue on the taillights, since real lights and taillights have chromes reflectors. I gave to red clear plastic parts a touch up with "Chrom silver" (Testors) and a halfway dry brush wo emphasize to small Chrome bezels around the tailligths, including the vertical lights which separate the three Chambers.

Thanks for Your kind words on my 66 Impala. A very good kit from Revell-Monogram by the way, it was fun to build. Best regards Ludwig

This is my 1966 Chevrolet Impala SS 396 (Revell-Monogram), a real "Rhapsody in blue" .... Body color is Tamiya TS-54 "light metallic blue", which comes close to original "Marina Blue". Interior has been painted by hand with a mixture of Tamiya colors. Straight out of the box except for two BMF- chromed tips and the end of the exhaust pipes.

I finished this build today. See new photos of my 1966 Impala "under glass".

Meanwhile I put the interior into the body and connected it to the chassis.

I started off with a Revell 1966 Chevy Impala SS 396. I wanted to get close to a factory color "Marina blue" with a matching two tone blue interior.

Thank You, guys! Yes, it seems that the color came close to "Panter Pink" which was available in 1969.

1969 Plymouth Barracuda: Just another old MPC-kit with new decals and new box art. So I did not build the engine. Paint is Tamiya TS 37 (Lavender) with TS 65 (Pearl Clear).
