Revell 60 impala

[TNT]

This one i like. But when it was ready to put together the frame was to low. To hide it i put on the lake pipes from the 48 or 49 merc kit. Bought another to figure out what went wrong, may be the dash and windshield.

Thanks. I was born in 63 and the wife 68 so i do like building them. I graduated in 81 so not much to like then. ? be nice to go back in time and buy about 10 of them and some convertibles also. Imagine what a show room fresh 60 impala with less than 100 miles would be worth? It would have to break 100g. I would think.

The color looks very 1960 and the '59 Caddy taillights look great for that time period. I remember building this same kit years ago and had the same frame showing problem you mentioned. I think the frame also showed a little on the 1:1 back then anyway. A good friend of mine had one of these when they were just a few years old. Beautiful car until a drunken tree walked out in front of him one night.

Them darn drunken trees will get you ever time. I hit a drunken curb once way back when.

Thanks. This may have been the special edition. Those are super nice kits.

Good job! Very attractive aqua color; what paint/color is that? I don't generally care for side pipes, but here they seem to compliment the other long horizontal chrome strips very well. Such a sharp model - well done.

Thanks. I think that color was krylon something like a seafoam.

Well done Anthony , beautiful Impala and a great color too !  You're probably right about the windshield and dash causing the problem , could also be the interior to frame a little off . It doesn't take much and they all can add up really fast .

Nice!
