ranma Posted July 22, 2017 Posted July 22, 2017 Note: that most of the revell 66 Impala parts will not work on this resin wagon. The parts that do fit are the complete Chassis,suspession and engine, All that has to be trimmed is the top's of the rear wheel wells so the interior will fit unto the top of the chassis.
Tom Geiger Posted July 22, 2017 Posted July 22, 2017 That's normal for resin. There's always the tweek to fit aspect. Also check the fit of everything prior to painting. Especially the glass, as some resin is thicker than a kit body.

Nothing drives me crazier than to see a very well built resin model, only to see the glass so "tunneled" in to the body, that it takes away from the whole build.

Nothing drives me crazier than to see a very well built resin model, only to see the glass so "tunneled" in to the body, that it takes away from the whole build. That is why I pre-build my models before paint. I hate surprises, and for what the resin trans kits cost, an accurate appearance is very important to me. I have a Model Car World '66 Biscayne which will build the same way. However, I am not satisfied with the roof profile, so I will re-do it. I did my '65 Biscayne's back window, and it came out great.
Sport Suburban Posted July 29, 2017 Posted July 29, 2017 Also, that Resin kit predates the Revell kit. That Resin kit is based off the old AMT 66 Impala kit.
