Very nice kit. The paint is Tamiya Light Green on the body, turned out a little brighter than expected. A different green probably would have looked better. Interior is Tamiya Semi Gloss Black. Built OOB stock except for a few details under the hood. Had a few probelms getting the body mated to the frame, broke off some parts trying to get them together and found out it worked better to install the interior as a separate unit into the body first, then fit the frame on. The bumpers were also a little finicky, not much contact points for glue. Thanks for looking and all comments welcome.

Almost done. Got a few items to take care of before I put it under glass. I had my usual problem with this type kit getting the body on the chassis, and the bumpers were finicky.

Thanks. Yea the green turned out a little too bright, but I like it.
-
After all the problems you had Bob it still came out looking great. Nice work.

Rain moved in today, so no painting. But I did get the engine finished. Kit provides a nice 396, I added plug wires, fuel line and a bypass hose.

Thanks. Thanks Mario. Thanks Carl.

Those are some good looking Chevelles. I will probably just go with Tamiya light green.
-
Looking good Bob. I like that blue.
-
Your Chevelle is looking great. Nice work. I just started this kit myself.

Great start. Looking good.

Thanks. Thanks. Thank you. Thanks. Thank you.

Finished up the 69 Camaro, now starting a 69 Chevelle. This is the Revell SS396 kit. Going over the parts it looks really nice, should build out good if I don't mess it up. Got the body primed, thinking I may go with a green. It will be a stock oob build. Maybe I'll add a few details under the hood.

Thanks Mike. Yea, I like that old school look. Thanks Bob. Thanks David. Thank you. Thank you. Thanks Michelle. Ollie's had these for 12.99, and it was 33% off that when I got it during the holidays.

Same as Mike. I really like the Tamiya Acrylics, they go on great using Mr Hobby Leveling Thinner. The only primer I use now is the Mr. Surfacer 1500. I have used the Createx also, it works well but as Mike said you must use their thinner. I use Vallejo model color for brushing details, and just lately tried air brushing with it and it did very good, may start using it more.

Calling it done.

This is the Monogram Classic Cruiser kit I picked up from Ollie's. It's a nice kit, went together well except the header pipes/side pipes were kinda a pain. The engine is a 302 with dual turbos. The battery location seems wrong for this car. There was no rad hose in the kit, had to make my own. I left off the horn, it just looked too big and out of place under the hood. The body paint is Tamiya Metallic Grey, the interior is Rustoleum Nutmeg Brown. All comments welcome, thanks for looking.

Thanks Carl.

Got the chassis done. The molded in battery is in a weird place. I don't think I have ever seen a 69 z/28 with the battery in that location.

Thanks Carl.

Thanks Mike.

I like the stance, old school 60's. Last 2 photos are with the decals and clear coat on. Trim is done with a molotow pen, but it doesn't show well on the metallic grey body. I would have done BMF, but I don't have any right now.
