Dragonhawk1066 Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Here's the AMT 1967 Chevrolet Impala SS427. It's done in Tamiya TS-87 Titanium Gold and cleared with Tamiya TS-13. I used Evergreen .010 x .030 styrene strips to trim in the vinyl top, and just used Apple Barrel Black craft paint airbrushed from a distance to get a bit of texture before moving in closer for the final cover coat. The interior is a mixture of craft paints as well, and so is the engine. I wasn't too keen on the tires from the kit, so I used the extra set from the AMT '68 Camaro Z28 kit. The trim is all Bare Metal Foil, and I added valve stems, door locks, and ignition wires for extra details. This seems like one of AMT's nicer kits, and it was a really fun build. Thanks for looking! 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zippi Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 That looks super clean Craig. Those added strips for the vinyl roof look nice. The wheels set it off nicely and the paint is killer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Beautifully done, looks just like it's sitting on the showroom floor. The interior colors are a perfect match. I had a new '67 El Camino with the same color setup but no vinyl roof. This was a great color on GM cars from that era. The engine detailing looks good as well.

Snake45 Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Very sharp, very cool! That was a VERY popular color combo back in the day--saw many gold cars with BVT. Well done and model on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
