1951 Chevy Bel Air Convertible AMT 1/25 scale

[polybius]

Having built mostly 70s, 80s, and 90s cars growing up in those eras, I'd never paid much attention to the older vintages.  This build was purely an exercise in expanding horizons and it took a few months of occasionally tinkering with it to finally get it across the finish line.  It's a box stock build without much fanfare, and it went together reasonably well for being an older tooling.  The body was prepped and then primed with Stynylrez.  The color coats were DupliColor GM metallic grey with a few coats of clear and some wet sanding and polishing to seal the deal.
