Registered in two states! I have no idea why I put those plates on.
As I'm a democratically minded person and the majority of comments are saying don't repaint I'll respect that and won't. But I will polish the paint and BMF/Molotow the trim and see how it turns out.
This Lindberg is a very decent kit of (to me) the nicest looking 60s Chevy. One of my earliest pre-airbrush models painted with rattle can enamels. Not bad but not great either and when I can find a decent paint stripper and replacement decals I'll re-do it.
Built before I discovered BMF and Molotow, the 'chrome ' trim is silver paint brushed on which looks ok out in the sun but nowhere else!
Left hand outer tail light missing too. Aaagh!
Great build Ken!
Don't think this show aired in Australia, even though they inflicted Gilligan's Island and Dobie Gillis repeats on us year after year......
Great job on both of these Matt.
It was Airfix 1/32 cars that got me really interested in the hobby. Fond memories of the AH Sprite, Triumph TR-4A and even Vauxhall Viva.....
Apologies for the misname Pete! I must have been looking at Bill Spencer's post above mine and got his name stuck in my head. That, or I'm just getting old and dotty........
SWEET! Assuming this Esci/ERTL was a re-issue of AMT, I have both this (unbuilt) and the more recent Revell (built) version. The Revell is technically better, but IMHO I think the AMT leaves it for dead for appeal.
