espo Posted April 3, 2022 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
Misha Posted April 3, 2022 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. Cheers Misha

Peter Lombardo Posted April 3, 2022 Posted April 3, 2022 Very well done, I love the colors on this and how well they go together. very sharp.
Plowboy Posted April 3, 2022 Posted April 3, 2022 That's a great way to work out the cobwebs David! I really like your color choices on it. Hope to see some more builds from you in the future!
bisc63 Posted April 3, 2022 Posted April 3, 2022 That's a real beauty of a stock 62. Very nicely done!
TransAmMike Posted April 3, 2022 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.
AMT68 Posted April 3, 2022 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 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.
Zippi Posted April 4, 2022 Posted April 4, 2022 That's a good looking Impala Dave. Love that 409 setting in the business end. Great job.

I have tried to keep up with what everyone else has been building. Now I hope to get back to contributing g as well.

happy grumpy Posted April 4, 2022 Posted April 4, 2022 That's one sweet looking 62 David, I like everything about it. The convertible allows to bring the interior details to be fully appreciated. Great job and beautiful color combo. 1
