NOBLNG Posted January 10, 2023 Posted January 10, 2023 (edited) I had fun with this one. It’s a nice looking kit, but it is missing some items and some parts are WAY out of scale.? Luckily I didn’t have the roof warpage that seems to plague these kits. I opened the grill and used the 427 from the Yenko Camaro. Resin parts include TH400 tranny and NP205 transfer case, front and rear diffs, wheels, brake booster, battery, radiator and air cleaner. Tires are from the Revell Jeep Wrangler. Scratch built parts include exhaust system, shocks, driveshafts, roll cage, interior arm rests, window cranks, door handles, pedals, shifter, heater box and side mirrors. Lots of other parts box and modified kit pieces. Paint is AK RC016 Ochre and Mr. Hobby UV cut clear. The roof is Tamiya fine white primer and semi gloss clear. I’m glad it’s done!? Thanks for looking!? Build thread here: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/158387-blazer-crew-chief/ Edited January 10, 2023 by NOBLNG 8
espo Posted January 10, 2023 Posted January 10, 2023 Beautiful looking paint color and finish. Recall seeing a few when new in a very similar color. Great attention to detail on the interior and chassis.
happy grumpy Posted January 11, 2023 Posted January 11, 2023 A lot of goodies added to this beautiful build. the beefy tires makes it meaner. Great job on this and the color fits it so well.

catpack68 Posted January 12, 2023 Posted January 12, 2023 Awesome work! I like the detailing and the color looks great?
Zippi Posted January 12, 2023 Posted January 12, 2023 That turned out pretty nice Greg. That 427 fits in the business end pretty well. Great job.
TarheelRick Posted January 12, 2023 Posted January 12, 2023 With the brick wall background, it has a very realistic look to it. Nicely done build, great attention to detail and I really like the color scheme.

Thanks Folks. It’s a little darker than the factory colour, but I never shoot for original looks anyways. I was going to do the roof black, but after looking at dozens of photos, decided white looks better.
