'70 Grande Posted February 7, 2018 Posted February 7, 2018 Beautiful build! I have always thought the Red tailights on this kit seemed a little "off" if compared to the 1:1. My eye tells me that the tailights are a little too tall vertically, but I can't confirm if that's what my eye is seeing or not. My compliments on your execution of these tailights; it appears as though you've added some vertical, chromed-strips to break each tailight down to three, long, horizontal lense sections.  Can you comment on how you enhanced those tailights for me? Thanks!
YBlock292 Posted February 7, 2018 Author Posted February 7, 2018 Thanks again, guys! @#70 Grande (Mark): I attached a stripe of BMF to the section if the Body, where I had to glue on the taillights, since real lights and taillights have chromes reflectors. I gave to red clear plastic parts a touch up with "Chrom silver" (Testors) and a halfway dry brush wo emphasize to small Chrome bezels around the tailligths, including the vertical lights which separate the three Chambers.

El Caballo Posted February 7, 2018 Posted February 7, 2018 I had the chance to buy one of those with a 283 back in 1984 for peanuts, wishing I had...
TarheelRick Posted February 8, 2018 Posted February 8, 2018 A high school friend bought one just like this brand new, he immediately blew the engine. The local dealer replaced it, within a few weeks he blew it again. The dealer replaced it, but with a warning. You guessed it, it didn't take long before he blew it again. This time he replaced it with a 427 at his expense. In a few weeks he wrapped it around a tree, some cuts, bruises, and a broken arm but a lesson learned. Now back to your build. To me the 65/66 Impala/Chevelle SS's in Marina Blue were some of the prettiest cars from GM. Your rendition is just as beautiful. Great job.
Mahogany Rush Posted February 8, 2018 Posted February 8, 2018 Love the color too. Nice and clean build.
