shoopdog Posted November 10, 2019 Posted November 10, 2019 Completed my box art build of Revell's 65 Impala finished with Tamiya rattle can Silver Leaf with Testor's Wet Look Clear over that. Went together rather well except I did have a little trouble with the finicky rear end assembly. I forgot to add a drop of dish soap to the decal water so I was unable to get the left side pinstripes to slide into the correct position. Thanks for looking and any comments welcome.
espo Posted November 10, 2019 Posted November 10, 2019 This is really clean looking. I like the "Cal Custom" looking rocker covers, I had those on my '66 back when. The paint finish is great looking. An aside on the Decals. I notice the decal "409" emblems on the front fenders. The Engine here is representing the introduction of the new "396" Engine to the Chevrolet line.
LouO Posted November 10, 2019 Posted November 10, 2019 Nice, clean work. Sharp build! I'm hoping to get started on mine soon.
Hmann68 Posted November 11, 2019 Posted November 11, 2019 Nice!! Looks like an interesting kit! Good job on yours ?
Deuces Posted November 11, 2019 Posted November 11, 2019 Does this kit still have all the stock parts to build a showroom stocker?????.....

If you should want to correct that minor issue a couple of kits that could supply you with the 396 emblems include the Revell '66 El Camino and Station wagon.
