Kit Basher Posted January 30, 2023 Posted January 30, 2023 This is the old Lindberg kit. I wanted to build it because I had heard so many good things about it. It lived up to it's reputation, a very nice kit. It is OOB except plug wires and the red line tires. The paint is a mix of AutoAir "Blizzard Blue" and "Nightmare Blue". It's not perfect but it's OK for me. 8
AMT68 Posted January 30, 2023 Posted January 30, 2023 Excellent build and looks very much like Marina Blue. Very neat foil work.
michelle Posted January 30, 2023 Posted January 30, 2023 Nice work and good color choice for this particular Chevy
Kit Basher Posted January 30, 2023 Author Posted January 30, 2023 Thanks, James! Thanks, Tom! Thanks, Lee! Thanks, Michelle!
espo Posted January 30, 2023 Posted January 30, 2023 Great looking paint finish and the color reminds me of one they offered called Marina Blue and was really popular. Clean looking engine and chassis. Like the wood steering wheel.
Zippi Posted January 30, 2023 Posted January 30, 2023 That's a good looking Chevelle. That blue looks nice. Really like those red line tires.

Marina Blue was what I was shooting for, but I'm not sure how close I got, since all I had were internet photos. 48 minutes ago, Zippi said: That's a good looking Chevelle. That blue looks nice. Really like those red line tires. Thanks, Bob! The red lines are the only gripe I have with the kit. They're shown on the box art, but not included in the kit. I stole them from the AMT "Polyglas Gasser", and they fit with some minor adjustment of the wheel backs.
TooOld Posted January 31, 2023 Posted January 31, 2023 Not perfect ? It looks mighty nice to me , great job !

I built a 66 Impala in Testors Nassau Blue that looked a lot like this build and also have this Lindberg kit in the stash with a PE set to build someday. Later-
Speedpro Posted January 31, 2023 Posted January 31, 2023 Being that I pretty much have that car in my garage, I have to say you came darn close on the color. Nice build.
Kit Basher Posted February 1, 2023 Author Posted February 1, 2023 Wow! I didn't check in for a while, and I got a lot of catching up to do! So: Thanks, Craig! Thanks, Mike! Thanks, Eric! Thanks, Bob! Thanks, Tom! Thanks, Scott! Thanks, Tom! Thanks, David! Thanks, Paul! Thanks, Larry!
