AMT68 Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Built from the current reissue this 1/25 scale '67 Impala SS-427 has been painted in Tamiya TS-54 Metallic Blue and cleared with TS-13. The Hurst wheels, sprayed with a couple coats of Tamiya smoke, are from the Revell '66 GTO since the chrome was less than stellar on the kit wheels. And I managed to install the wiper blades in the proper order this time. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rrb124@sbcglobal.net Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 All of the trim is super. It's tough to get that right for me. The color is just as I recall them on the streets in my neighborhood. Good looking 427 fender emblems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 The color really shows the body lines, and the finish looks great. Remember seeing one on the new car showroom floor in these same colors' way back when. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also felt the "427" numerals could have been better. On 7/11/2023 at 9:56 PM, michelle said: looks great nice work On 7/11/2023 at 10:03 PM, Jim B said: Great looking Impala. Really well done.

The beautiful outside shots makes that great paint job show its beautiful shade. Thanks David and Mario. It's slightly darker than Marina Blue which I always thought looked best on these cars. And it's definitely a matter of catching the sun at just the right angle. 23 hours ago, Supernurd said: That's a beautiful automobile, 👍. 22 hours ago, Classicgas said: X2! 21 hours ago, karbuildr said: Beautiful color, looks great on that big Chevy, nice job. 19 hours ago, atomicholiday said: Really clean build.

I normally use factory wheels but I plan on using the Hurst wheels on future builds since I have a few more '66 GTO kits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
