GoodbuildNY Posted January 24, 2021 Posted January 24, 2021 Well I finally dragged this one across the finish line.... and it was a LONG time coming!!! This is based on the 90’s ? Issue. Blue box art. This kit for various reasons was put on the back burner over the years but I finally worked up the ambition to finish it. Should of been a candidate for bring out your dead. Anyway, it’s finished in MCW royal plum with a red interior. It’s by far not my finest work and definitely has a few flaws but considering what its been through I’m ok with that. It’s a high quality driver lol. I tried to keep it at least neat and clean and keep detailing to a minimum.
AMT68 Posted January 24, 2021 Posted January 24, 2021 (edited) Yes, it is definitely a high quality build as it's detailed beautifully and built very cleanly. I've seen this color on 1:1 cars at shows but never on a scale model. The red interior (something else I haven't seen on the 1:1 cars in this color) also works well with the Royal Plum. This is one of my most favorite subjects as I have a couple of these kits in my collection that need to get built. Edited January 24, 2021 by AMT68
espo Posted January 24, 2021 Posted January 24, 2021 Beautiful looking model of one of my favorite cars. The unusual color combination looks good together. I like the way you detailed the chassis and drive train, very accurate looking.
Spottedlaurel Posted January 24, 2021 Posted January 24, 2021 Very nice build of a great-looking car, I like it. Gives me a few things to consider with the same kit I'm building at present.
cobraman Posted January 24, 2021 Posted January 24, 2021 Well done ! That color is beautiful as is your finish.
BeakDoc Posted January 25, 2021 Posted January 25, 2021 She’s doggone gorgeous! I’ll echo the sentiment on the great looking, unusual color combo.
GoodbuildNY Posted January 25, 2021 Author Posted January 25, 2021 Thank you to everyone for all the compliments. I’m glad I could share the model with you all on this great forum. Hopefully I’ll see some pics of your 67’s soon. I will say, just a heads up if you haven’t built this kit before that the rear suspension is a little tricky.
steveracer Posted January 25, 2021 Posted January 25, 2021 GoodbuildNY - that is a fantastic build and very nice attention to detail! I bought this kit a few months back and now look more forward to building it thanks to you sharing your work. The rear end details of the taillights, moldings and SS panel look so very sweet.... Thanks man!

I’d be glad to help. Dave
crazyjim Posted January 26, 2021 Posted January 26, 2021 Drop dead gorgeous. Nicely detailed and a great color.
majel Posted January 27, 2021 Posted January 27, 2021 That is a great kit and you did it justice. Very well done!
charlie8575 Posted January 27, 2021 Posted January 27, 2021 That looks great. I was toying doing my 4-door in this, but with the maroon interior. Charlie Larkin

Royal plum was a cool one year only color. My pics don’t even do the color justice
doorsovdoon Posted January 29, 2021 Posted January 29, 2021 Love the colour combo, I really like the underside. very nicely built.
slusher Posted January 30, 2021 Posted January 30, 2021 Beautiful Chevrolet and cleanly built. I love a 67 Chevy and I am a Mopar man...
bbowser Posted February 1, 2021 Posted February 1, 2021 I think1967 was the best looking Impala and yours captures the look perfectly. Well done!
