Love that maroon, and dig old customs, but for my tastes the front end is ponderous; would live to see half of everything there with a rolled pan on bottom. Your car your way, though, I'll eagerly watch a good build any way! Keep it up!

Great treatments of this kit, just top notch!

As much as I love the body mods, it's almost a shame to cover the interior up now! I like the tube-buggy look of you pic above. Kool stuff!

Lookin' good!

I learned that lesson the hard way back in 1980, when I owned a '63 Biscayne and bought a junkyard '63 Impala windshield that I couldn't use! Ouch. The differences are subtle, but definite.

One thing you haven't addressed is the different A-pillar; both the angle and height are different on Chevy's sedans versus the hardtops. Sedans are a bit more "vertical" as opposed to laid back, and they are about an inch taller through the window openings. Look up replacement windshields for the real thing, and you'll see they are different parts altogether. Look closely at the side view of your model, and you'll see it looks slightly chopped. I just point this out because you are doing SUCH nice work to get this looking right. Keep it up!

Beautiful!

Robert, you unfortunately got one of Zvezda's worst kits of an SU 27; I have the same monstrosity in my collection, and a bit of digging on the web taught me that it is nothing but a reboxing of the old Nakotne kit, which was always known for ill proportions and generally poor fit, etc. It's confusing, though, because Zvezda also makes some beautiful Flanker kits. You really have to do your homework with those guys!

Hope you haven't given up on this fun project!

The more I see this body, the more I LOVE it. Cool color!

Beautiful work. Keep it up!

Stylish paintwork; a great non-bellybuttton car!

Nice paintwork; that color really makes the chrome stand out! Love it.

Will be watching this space to see that built up!

?

Bernard, that's a sweet little racer! Well done.

NICE!

The black scheme really gives this car a classy, somewhat diplomatic look. Very attractive; nicely done!

I like the look WAY more than I expected to when I clicked on the heading! You are on to something here; it reminds me of those old concept cars shown at "Autoramas"

That sounds about right, I have one relatively close by, and that name brand sounded familiar. It really does have a period-correct look to it. Looking forward to the rest of the build! ( and thanks for the info)

Persistence is really paying off, this old kit is looking NICE!

Great treatment of this kit!

Very cool project, keep us posted!

Oh yeah! Maybe just a tad larger tire on the rear, since you've made room! Drop some Cherry Bombs or Thrush mufflers under there where they are just visible in this view, and put their accompanying decals on the rear quarter windows. It's 1970 baby!

That's a nice color, what exactly is it?
