Original AMT 1965 Coronet 500 build

[drodg]

So I am posting  a picture of my rebuild of a 1965 Coronet 500 kit.  This is the original kit not the Polar Lights.  I am kind of replicating my 1:1 car though my 1:1 car is a 383 and the kit comes with a race Hemi.  I painted it PP1 red from Scalefinishes, base coat.  I have cleared and have started the polishing process.  These old solid axle kits I just love.  Anyhow hope to be done in the next week.  Thanks for looking

That's a good looking Coronet.  The detail work on the dash looks great.

Always fun to build a model of something you own or have owned in the past. Great flood of memories.

These original kits just have a cool factor missing in the new ones ,  great to see another one going together !

Nice! Love these early 60s Coronets.

I had a '65 with a 383 too, back in the early 80's.  Not the most attractive car, but it did it's job and was a bit of sleeper even being bone stock.

I used the Polar Lights kit since the real one was pretty rough around the edges too.

I 'm sure yours will look better than mine.
