Can-Con Posted February 16, 2024 Posted February 16, 2024 Looks great Tim Too bad that MPC went with the inaccurate pics in the brochure instead of getting the windshield frame and boot right. I always thought it was odd that GM let those mistakes pass.

Tom Geiger Posted February 16, 2024 Posted February 16, 2024 Nice model! My family had both a 1970 Impala Coupe and a 1971 Bel Air sedan when I was growing up.
Rattlecan Dan Posted February 16, 2024 Posted February 16, 2024 You overcame the short comings and made a cool and great-looking build out of it. Nice detailing. Great job!
ea0863 Posted February 16, 2024 Posted February 16, 2024 Great build with tasteful paint scheme. How did you get such an even tint on the windshield? I love it.
Smitty Posted February 17, 2024 Posted February 17, 2024 Great, clean job on a seldom seen Chevy. I too like the beautifully applied colour and the wheels. The stance is also cool.
Koellefornia Kid Posted February 17, 2024 Posted February 17, 2024 Cool wheels, great stance and a beautiful colour! The perfect look for land yacht like that! Very nice work!
Slotto Posted February 17, 2024 Posted February 17, 2024 Love those wheels! Did you print them or buy them? Would you share your source?

How did you get such an even tint on the windshield? I love it. Ok I use automotive products on anything I don’t brush paint. That being said I mix equal parts of a blue toner and green toner. I put about 4 drops of that in 100 grams of clear basecoat. All waterborne!!!!!! Most importantly. I tape the front side off and spray two to three good coats over the back side with an automotive touch up gun. It has a spray pattern about four inches wide. Must make sure window is completely covered with no missed spots. Then I spray a smooth coat of 2k clear over the tint color. If the color has any missed spots the clear will frost the window. Not good trust me. Take your time. I think any water base paint could be used. 1
