RDean58 Posted January 28, 2019 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 Posted January 28, 2019 I discovered the SS decals fit on the wheels, so I used them!
RDean58 Posted January 28, 2019 Author Posted January 28, 2019 Thanks for looking! All comments welcomed.
RDean58 Posted January 28, 2019 Author Posted January 28, 2019 This is my 24 hr build. I did not get it done in the allotted timeframe but did finished it today.
Cardz Posted January 29, 2019 Posted January 29, 2019 Very cool looking car. Turned out really well considering the amount of time. I could never pull that off.
donb Posted January 29, 2019 Posted January 29, 2019 Sharp car. Sometimes simple works best! Nicely done.
Snake45 Posted January 29, 2019 Posted January 29, 2019 Pretty cool! I'm not a fan of purple but I like this color. What's the paint?
