NOBLNG Posted March 18, 2019 Author Posted March 18, 2019 Well I have finally got this painted to my satisfaction. It's far from perfect, but good enough for these eyes. I switched from those Vallejo paints which are actually made for painting scale figurines I believe, to Testors spray paints. The flakes in the1837 revving red stood out a little to much for my liking, so I put a coat of translucent red over top, then the Gloss Coat after foiling it.

Your roof straightening looks good, and that color's not half bad, either! Drive on, my friend!
NOBLNG Posted March 19, 2019 Author Posted March 19, 2019 Pretty much done except for fabbing up some replacement door handles.

Another kit with this notorious fault is Monogram's '66 Chevelle. Lookin' good! And yes, I'm glad you were able to fix the windshield header. That's one thing on that kit that's always bugged me about this 'Vette. Snake, Revellogram's 1/12 '67 'Vette also has this same malady. It's VERY noticeable even on the box art model and it's definitely a MUST FIX if I ever get around to building it. I'd like to do another one of these '65's one day, but I've got the bits and pieces to turn it into a '66 namely the seats from a busted up Danbury one and the wheel covers that I was able to get from The Modelhaus before they closed up shop.
