RDean58 Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Lessons learned on my first time, keep it simple. Single color interior, have EVERYTHING in the box or within reach. I spent about an hour total looking for stuff I decided I needed to add. Do a simple tire/wheel change if your going to do that. I spent probably 40 minutes getting those Aoshima wheels, tires, and brakes adapted to the Impala. Perhaps the Impala was not the best kit to select, lots of little parts and loads of opportunity to do detailing ate up time. However, my total build time for this model was, 20 hours, so If I could have worked right on through, I might have gotten it done. I had loads of fun though, and that is what counts.

RDean58 Posted January 28, 2019 Author Share Posted January 28, 2019 I discovered the SS decals fit on the wheels, so I used them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
