parkflyrer 50 Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 So here is a kit I've had sitting on the shelf for quite some time. I started it about a year-and-a-half ago. I completed it to about 99% and set it back on the Shelf in the Box for some reason or another I can't remember why.. I thought I better finish it because I told myself I wouldn't buy any more new kits until I fully completed at least three that are on my shelf now.. So here's #2...#1 being the foose 67"coronet some of you may have seen. This one is an older monogram kit I picked up at a swap meet. It's pretty good quality kit everything fit pretty good I had a few issues with some of the fine detailing but I think it came out fairly well. I painted it with testers Arctic Blue the gray is metallic silver which is very sensitive to the touch. I had to repaint the Grey part twice because while handling the model the gray scratched very easily and started to turn black so I made sure to spray clear on it as soon as I sprayed the gray again. the interior sort of matches the exterior I used the wheels off of the 62" Impala California Wheels kit I had.. The small Chrome detailing such as the door handles / wipers / rear view mirror. We're very difficult for me due to the shakes I've recently developed I had to use two hands to steady myself... Anyway hope you guys like it thanks...
Misha Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 Really nice looking classic build Tony, the colour combination works as does the wheel choice.Congrats on getting another one completed, Cheers Misha
Rodent Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 Bumpers on that kit remind me of the 1972 Volvo safety car. Wish we could get a new tool of all three of the two door Nomads. Nevertheless, you did a great job on this, shakiness and all. I am one of those freaks who prefers the 56 over the 55 and 57. Hope to see more of your builds! download.html
crazyjim Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 Excellent color combo that sets off the wheels very well.
