'69 Impala SS 427 Convertible

[Plowboy]

Welp, after fifty plus years of neglect and four plus months of the restoration process, this old '69 Impala finally gets to see the light of day again! It's a kitbash of an original promo with a busted windshield frame, Monogram '65 Impala and an AMT '67 Impala. The windshield frame, windshield, rear view mirror, visors, door handles and top are from a Monogram '65 Impala. The chassis, floorpan, drivetrain and underhood detail are from the 67. Paint is Tamiya TS-11 Maroon and Tamiya TS-33 Dull Red.   

Thanx for checking it out! 

Here's a couple of photos of what I started with.

Beautifully done build. I enjoyed watching your build and your attention to the details along with the paint really make this an outstanding save.

As soon as I saw it I said “wow” out loud. This is a really striking looking build! At first I thought it was black and then a couple pics later realized it was red... Very nice work on such a beautiful looking car! The engine details are well done too.

That is stellar.  Just unbelievable.  Easily pass as a real car.

Every so often,  I see a build on this forum that if it were photographed in just the right setting, would pass for the real thing in most people’s eyes. This is definitely one of those. Great detail, and that’s a gorgeous color combo. ?

Another great build Roger.

 

[Hi-Po]

I agree with everyone else - that is one great looking build.  Great paint and detailing.

Great job on this model. I attempted to do the same job to an AMT 1970 Impala kit. Didn't get you results. Send Revell a foto of your 1969 SS427 and tell them this is a muscle car they can do.
