Zintmaster 62 Chevy Lightweight

[Nitro330]

This is the second model that I ended up finishing in the beginning of August.  Made using the Revell 62 Impala SS Hardtop kit.  This is a really nice kit.  Supposedly only 18 of these factory lightweights were built and there are only two known to still exist.  The Chevy lightweights were a response to the Pontiac aluminum front end cars.  The hood, front fenders and front bumper were all alluminum.  This car was only raced a few times then put away in storage.  It has been to auction a few times in the last 10 years or so and is just the way it was when it was put into storage.

Paint is Tamiya TS-26 Pure White.  Decals are from SMP and tires from an AMT parts pack.

Details/Modifications:  Prewired Distributor (Morgan Automotive Detail), Rear side windows added, Front fenders decals made, Grille opened up, Heater delete plate, Valve stems, Dipstick
