Finished this one up last evening.  I had the need to slam a curbside together to help cleanse the palate of sorts, and this one did the trick.  She's completely box stock other than the side mirror I dug out from the parts box, and filing down the wing window frames a bit.  Hosed down in Tamiya Base White, while the interior was treated to Model Master Nassau Blue with Tamiya transparent blue accents.  Looks good on the shelf.  Thanks for looking and any comments/questions.

One of my favorite cars, I had 3 real ones. 

Looks super, how did the side trim foiling go? It looks clean.

Beautiful Galaxie.  Well done.  Sometimes a simple, curbside, box-stock build is needed.

Great looking paint finish and chrome trim. Like how you did the interior colors.

Thanks guys!  For being such a simple kit it really presents itself well.

I forgot to mention in the original post that I did deepen the panel lines, as well as scribing in a couple missing ones.

Thanks Bob.  It went better than I was expecting.  While trimming the foil the knife took well to edge of the trim, allowing for some pretty straight lines.

Outstanding build.  I remember being a teenager and riding in my uncle Henry's white '64 Galaxie 50XL.  The interior in his was red and it also had a 427!
