Kit Basher Posted January 30, 2023 Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted January 30, 2023 Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zippi Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 That's a good looking Chevelle. That blue looks nice. Really like those red line tires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

I stole them from the AMT "Polyglas Gasser", and they fit with some minor adjustment of the wheel backs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice and clean work. 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.
