1965 Plymouth Belvedere

[ModelcarJR]

This is a Moebius kit that would have been a good kit except for the windshield and rear window mounting. I failed to read every step of the instructions before starting. I painted, rubbed out the body and foiled it as I always do first. When I got the next to last step in the instructions I found out that the front and rear windows mounted from the outside. So since. glue and foil don't mix, I removed the foil on the windshield and rear window trim. In so doing, I chipped some paint on the trim on the both windows. Therefore, the trim in these areas are not smooth is some areas and look pretty nasty. So this one will remain a shelf sitter.

The exterior paint is Dupli-Color Bright Red with a Krylon Satin Black interior. Engine has plug wires and heater hoses which run over the intake manifold on the left side.  The rest is box stock and pretty much fell into place. The decals registered well. It could have been a nice build. Maybe the next one will be. Thanks for looking! ?

As always, clean and nicely detailed. Someday I'll get to that level. Looks really good.

Very nice Mopar John, I just completed the Mobius 65 Mercury and was impressed on how well they fit together. Your Belvedere looks great in red and the extra details brings it to life. Well done. 

Cheers,

That's nice! We are always our own worst critics. I still think it looks amazing.

Very nice, John!  Almost like mine except I used a hood scoop from a Revell '67 GTX and Tamiya Metallic Red paint.

Beautiful looking paint finish and of course the color as well. Clean looking body trim and detailed engine.
