1/25 AMT 1960 Chevrolet Apache Custom Fleetside

[GeorgeA]

This is my version of the AMT 1960 Chevrolet Apache custom fleetside, I consider it to be one of the most beautiful pickup model kits from the manufacturer, the details are faithful to the real truck, in that sense, I tried to represent a factory version with colors appropriate to the time, for the exterior I made the model in two tones with Tamiya TS-41 (Coral Blue) and Tamiya TS-45 (Pearl White), I added two side moldings to the model with 0.75 mm fishing line. For the interior I used a mix of paints to recreate charcoal gray and white as the predominant colors, following the recommendations in the model instructions. The Thriftmaster 6 engine was painted with Tamiya X-14 (Sky Blue) also following the instructions. The truth is a very nice model kit to build, I say this as an amateur and fan of the American automotive industry, you can truly appreciate the beautiful design that GM engineers created at that time. I appreciate everyone who takes the time to look at this recreation of the pickup truck and share the excitement it represents.

Great looking factory colors and finishes. Like the added body moldings. The fuel line on the engine even matches the route of the original fuel line.
