After abandoning the 1976 Dart Sport build ( so close , so ... close ... BUT ! The wheelbase is off side-to-side ! ARRGGG ! ) , I decided to crack-open the Revell 1967 SS-396 Chevelle kit ; the 1990 release which is moulded-in Marina Blue or LeMans Blue (not sure ...) and give it a whirl . To wit : I have seen some truly impressive builds by Mr. Mike , Snake , and other forum members , wherein the bare plastic was polished instead of being painted . Mr. Mike's gorgeous build of the same kit that I'm working on was / is the inspiration for my trying the polished plastic technique ... ... so far , a liberal application of Meguire's #7 and some (arthritis-attack) elbow grease hath yielded a remarkable shine ! More work to be done . In the meantime , I am hoping that the aforementioned members -- and anyone else for this matter -- would like to contribute images of their completed polished plastic kits ; and , perhaps share some advice and techniques in-so-far-as additional waxing / polishing to maintain the plastic's polished shine . Thank you .
