Revell 66 Impala

[Janne Herajärvi]

Hey!

Got new project started with testing my new spray paint booth.. Results with TS-92 metallic orange could be better, since i got bit dust on my paint job, but i can live with it,becouse im building this just as some nice shelf model.. Not in shows to display... Here we go..

Beautiful color.

Off to a nice start! Very attractive color; what's the interior color going to be?

Will be watching with interest as I used to own a '66 SS with a 327, 3-speed manual shift on-the-column(!). Mine was black with a white interior. Love these big Chevies!

Nice paint, will be watching your build. Love all big Chevys, the 58 Impala is my favorite.

Beautiful color! I gotta get me some of that stuff.

Janne -

se on erittäin mukava Impala! Suuri valikoima sen väreille; Minun täytyy saada osa siitä "TS-92" !

( I hope that the translation is correct ) .

[PARTSMARTY]

Amazing color and it's so shiny !!!

[El Caballo]

Great color choice, that era of GM cars had bodies that were long and sleek and made excellent palettes for all sorts of colors. Well done.

[Slotto]

Great color. Can't wait to see more

This is a great kit and I like your color choice. Hopefully the dust in the paint can be sanded out. I bought a new '66 Impala Super Sport with the 396 & 4-speed in Danube Blue with Black interior. Except for the cost of insurance it was a great car. Look forward to your build.

Interior will be combo of black and leather brown..

 

Thank you guys for your nice comments.. And here we have little update what kind of wheel and tire combo im going to use..

I did pick some 6 bolt steelies and made chrome lip with molotow chrome pen, then other of that is satin black.. Bolts will be chromed also later.. Then AMT`s nice parts pack redline tires.. Here you go

Hi guys... How about another update? 

 

Dash is waiting for finishing touches with some decals.. I like it so far..

Front seat in progress..

 

Engine got some red color.. Chevy engine red by Model Master..

[Monty]

Kudos on the paint color you've chosen for the body.  It's going to look spectacular with those wheels and tires.  

I hope you won't mind a nudge for the sake of accuracy:  you'll need to turn those valve covers the other way around so the bolts are 3 up and 4 down.  See pic.

Lookin' good! Since we're watching details, Impala should have 5-lug wheels, not 6. Keep on building!

[Janne Herajärvi]

Thank you guys...

 

Monty: i can blame Revell about those valve covers, i just followed instructions.. Atleast oil cap is in right place i guess.. I leave it like that since i used super glue.. 

Rusty: Yes i know it should have 5-lug wheels, but these were only ones i could pick for this build..

How about update? Here is interior finished.. I did most of chroming with fantastic Molotow pen.. Just lovin it, great product.. 

[Curt]

Beautiful work so far, Janne.  The interior will look perfect with the paint you chose for the body.

[Janne Herajärvi]

Thank you! Here is another update.. Chassis and engine are almost done 

[Janne Herajärvi]

Here comes update.. I got BMF work done with this puppy.. Chrome looks great with this color.. Aint it? Next i will give some final touches with Molotow chrome pen, and chrome details are ready then.. 

[mikemodeler]

I am really liking this color and the detailing you have done on the whole model is fantastic! Can't wait to see this one in the finished section!

[Daniel Lynch]

Very nice! Good job!

In these pics, the paint could ALMOST pass for '66 Chevy Aztec Bronze. Almost. At any rate, looking very, VERY good! Drive on!

[Janne Herajärvi]

Thank you guys.. I have done some progress today also, but nothing to show up.. Ill guess i might get this finished soon

Looks great.  The Impala is one of my favorites because I have good memories as a kid of riding in my grandfather's 1963 Impala.

What did you use for the chrome trim and how did you get such a straight edge?
