Just finished this 47 Chevy coupe from Galaxie Limited. I have a 1:1 1948 Chevy coupe, so this was a must build.
This kit can be made as either a 46, 47 or 48. The detail in this kit is second to none. Only issue I had was painting it with those little jars of Testors. Let it set for over a month before doing any BMF, glass or exterior pieces. IMG_9312.thumb.jpeg.c702c9dbb4e4e5e5e7d070d9f6841c31.jpegIMG_9311.thumb.jpeg.fd514b62485a567d593f10658c2bd4c3.jpegIMG_9313.thumb.jpeg.e06a7ae80ce2f5dada14ebb21e0cbc33.jpegIMG_9316.thumb.jpeg.9b2432ae7652d77e25863037f69daba0.jpegIMG_9314.thumb.jpeg.52e2bc062089b1ad75c55977136c08ba.jpeg

Yeah, I dig the ole fat fender cars John.  Very nicely done on the 47 Chevy Coupe.  That straight 6 looks Super kewl in the business end.

It looks Very Good in black. I painted a Camaro with Testors Gloss Black in December and I am still waiting for it to dry.

Thanks for all the kind comments. I was very pleased with how it turned out and excited to hear the Galaxie kits May be reissued. 
These are a few pictures of the interior before assembly.

Beautiful looking paint finishes and body trim. The detailing of the interior is very realistic looking. I share your enthusiasm for this kit as well as the Aero Sedan and Sedan Delivery. I also have a Coupe kit like this to build, some day.

Absolutely gorgeous 47 Chevrolet there John, I have always wanted to build this kit. Detail, paint and low stance are a good look, really well done. 

Cheers, 

David. 😎👍

Very nice clean build! Little details like the blue and red wash on the hubcaps really stand out!

What method did you use to paint the bottoms of the floor pans?

Thanks.
