Spruslayer Posted October 8, 2020 Posted October 8, 2020 (edited) This was the most frustrating build i have ever done, and 99% of the problem was me! Went to the HL looking for the "66" revel Impala but for some unknown reason i picked up this 65 Foose and noticed the box was damaged,looked like it might have gotten wet but what looked like the factory tape was still sealed i took a chance and bought it.now why i did that is still a mystery.Upon opening the kit at home i noticed ,A its a 65,not a 66........DOH! So i figure keep it and move on.then i find no decals,no wories ill just get revell to send me some which they did.Have decals ,start building and notice ,no clear parts!Was able to buy the windows on the bay instead of trying to get Revell too so on i went. After several paint disasters this is what i have I dident use the 409 fender badge decal as im prety sure thats not a 409 in the kit,more like a 396 to me Body color is nail polish, Edited October 8, 2020 by Spruslayer photos
cobraman Posted October 8, 2020 Posted October 8, 2020 I like it. It looks like you added the body color to the wheels, nice touch.
espo Posted October 9, 2020 Posted October 9, 2020 After all that it turned out great. I way wondering about the color since it is very bright. Nail polish can be had in colors that happen no ware else.
Spruslayer Posted October 9, 2020 Author Posted October 9, 2020 That's another mishap,I bought one bottle of a green glows under black light that covered well but due to the mistakes I ran out. None to be found so I buy this color and it would not cover so there are several heavy costs and it still looks uneven.the color is lighter on the web pics than it really is. Thanks everyone for the lQQks!
ksnow Posted October 9, 2020 Posted October 9, 2020 Definitely a head turner. Really like the engine compartment detailing. Great build.
Dragonhawk1066 Posted October 9, 2020 Posted October 9, 2020 Turned out excellent for a bad luck build!
Deuces ll Posted October 11, 2020 Posted October 11, 2020 Nice build!.... I think the 409 only came in the Revell '65 Impala SS convertible kit.... I could be wrong...
Spruslayer Posted October 11, 2020 Author Posted October 11, 2020 Thank everyone for the comments and encouragement . Back to the stash to find the next victim ??
Funkychiken Posted October 11, 2020 Posted October 11, 2020 sounds like the kit gods were fighting you, but it turned out a beaut!
