espo Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 This is an AMT '62 Impala SS kit that I built OOB style. I have been away from the work bench for just over a year, so this is my way of working out some of the cobwebs. The body is painted with Model Master Phoenicia Yellow and Ultra Clear. For the interior I used Model Master Lt. Ivory and Tamiya Dark Earth trim and Tamiya Flat Clear. The floors are done in Ken's Fuzzi-Fur. The chassis has Tamiya Matt Black and Semi-Gloss for some of the suspension components. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Misha Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 Great job on the ragtop David, especially your colour choices for the body and interior. The interior is beautifully executed, a real bonus for a top down car. Fabulous ride overall, I would certainly enjoy cruising in your Chevy.

TransAmMike Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 I wasn't aware you were away from building for a year. You did great on the '62. What a cool 1:1 that would be with the 409/4-speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMT68 Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 Great looking build and I like the interior color combination. When I got back into modeling three years ago (after about a twenty plus year hiatus) this kit was the first one I built. And a very nice kit I might add.

Doug 1061 Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 Looks like your skills didn't leave you. That turned out nice. Don't know if that is a factory color on that car but it shoulda been. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
