Revell '77 Chevy Monte Carlo

[realgone58]

Super nice build! Ironic that I chose the same color combo for mine! You are correct in not foiling the trim on the landau top. They had painted trim from the factory.

Thanks Alan and thanks for posting your super looking Monte Carlos. I have to ask, where did you get the factory full wheels covers for the orange and white build?

They are out of the '76 Impala kit.

Beautiful build!! I built one for my wife because that is one of her dream cars. Wish I’d paid attention about the vinyl top trim. Now I’ll have to redo it or my OCD will drive me nuts ?

Thanks Keith and thanks for posting your build. I wouldn't change a thing. While I didn't feel the need to foil the perimeter of the vinyl top I still think it looks good.

Beautiful build!,Revell needs to reissue this kit,they're expensive to find i think due to lowrider popularity,i have the 3d parts to do the 73,74 and 75'Monte carlo and they're nice done.

Thanks Curtis. Fortunately I picked up four of these before the prices went sky high in the past year or so. I've seen the conversions with the 3D parts and they look very good.

GREAT build!  Love the color scheme! 

I did something like this with the blue Wheels of Fire issue.  Triple blue with rally wheels and white striped tires!

Many slick top cars had aftermarket vinyl tops installed in the 1970s and 1980s, especially young used cars.  Most of those received stick on chrome trim around the edges.  So seeing a Monte Carlo with the chrome trim would not have been uncommon.  Your model looks too good as it sits to attempt removal of the trim.  In my opinion.

Thanks Steve and it would be great to see your build.

I like your avatar of the '74 Nova.
