Chevy ‘70 Chevelle, curbside

[Mattilacken]

I bought an opened kit with missing parts, cheep from the Swedish e bay. Simple kit but can look good ? mine is not the best, paint is to thick, can is at least 15 years old. Tamiya paint. PB wheels and tires. 

 

comments are welcome! Thanks for looking!

Nice one! The gray color with no stripes is very classy looking on the Chevelle; good choice. You really captured a realistic appearance here. Well done.

WOW! Great Chevelle! Brings back memories for me. One of my cousins bought a brand new '70 Chevelle in this same color. I helped him put several miles on that car.

Thanks, but if you would se it IRL the paint on the roof have a rough spot where the metallic messed up. But I only build for my self and it looks good on the shelf next to my Supra and Porsche ?

Very nice build and looks very good in a not often seen color for a '70 Chevelle. 

Just beginning the build process of one these kits myself.

Nice clean looking build and I like the period wheels. The rear quarter window ad a realistic touch.

Thanks! I like them as well, had them on a ‘69 Camaro once. I like the modern tires on them though so they get the right amount of side wall. 
thanks!

Nice work there Anton, I like the clean, understated look and also the wheels and tyres you've chosen.

I've got the same kit to build someday, good to see what can be done with it.

cool, won’t be my last, will try to find me a complete kit one day, but won’t be paying what they are asking for them right now in Sweden, almost $80! 
Had to do some putty work to the body on the mold lines and also the headlight bezels where a bit of a pain to look good and needed a visit with the Molotov pen. 
 

thanks for looking!

Very nice look to this, it has a late 70's vibe about it, like something you'd see in the movie "Dazed and Confused" Nice, I like it.
