Scale I Build

    I've seen several excellent builds of the Black Beauty, so I thought I would try something a bit different. I love the look of mid-60's customs, so I thought I would get rid of the Green Hornet gadgets, and go for a straight forward custom Imperial. Rght out of the box, the kit has many of the bells & whistles of a 60's custom (roll pans, custom grill, fender skirts), so it shouldn't require too much effort to go this route. I molded in the bumper and trunk rocket launchers, and inspired by the '64 Imperial box art (courtesy of Model Roundup), I went with a black roof/light blue body: The blue is some ancient Testor's "Colors by Boyd" Ice Blue, thinned with lacquer thinner and airbrushed. I think the kit mag wheels are kind of meh, so I'm going with AMT '63 'Vette wheels mounted on vintage AMT Firestone Supreme whitewalls - That's it for now!
