warra48 Posted January 26, 2022 Posted January 26, 2022 Very nice, well done. I built the hardtop last year, went together very nicely.
JerseeJerry55 Posted January 27, 2022 Posted January 27, 2022 WOW that’s awesome. My Mom had a 59 2 door. Blue with a Blue interior. She paid $2,500.00 brand new loaded.
papajohn97 Posted January 28, 2022 Posted January 28, 2022 (edited) Gorgeous build! The interior is particularly well painted and detailed and nice that it’s a convertible so you can show it off. I’m also impressed with how nicely the hood with those chrome “eyebrows” fit so nicely with the front end of the body and grill which, based on other Monogram/ Revell ‘59 Impala builds I’ve seen posted, these features don’t always fit so well out of the box. I have a hardtop version of this kit in my stash but would love to find and build a convertible now after seeing your beautiful result. Edited January 28, 2022 by papajohn97 Spelling corrections
Tommy124 Posted February 1, 2022 Posted February 1, 2022 Hi Ludwig, another great build with a beautiful color combo and superb detailing! On 1/28/2022 at 2:33 AM, papajohn97 said: Gorgeous build!

I started the 59 hardtop build around this time last year but I didn't like the way the "chrome eyebrows" should be built. So I out the kit away for a year. Inspired by your convertible build, I worked something out now but will do the model curbside-style, so with no engine and the hood shut.
Grumpa Posted February 23, 2022 Posted February 23, 2022 Impressive build Ludwig! The interior work is gorgeous! Absolutely beautiful!
TooOld Posted February 23, 2022 Posted February 23, 2022 Lots of super nice detailing on the interior and the exterior trim , especially the emblems and taillights ! Sharp looking convertible !
Zippi Posted March 1, 2022 Posted March 1, 2022 That snow crest white looks nice and clean. bmf and I do not play together well but yours turned out really nice. That interior looks really nicely done.
Speedpro Posted March 1, 2022 Posted March 1, 2022 Beautifully done! The trim and all the details look spot on. One of the best examples I have seen!
Crager Posted March 1, 2022 Posted March 1, 2022 Stunning! I have this kit but I've been apprehensive to start it until my skills improve?
