Monogram 56 Belair-updated Oct 2

[oldscool]

Haven't posted anything for a couple of months but I have been checking in almost daily. Here is some progress on the 56 Chevy:

Now this is a face with real character. I did a little fiddling to make the bumper fit tighter against the body.

Went with a white chassis just to be different.

Hope you like it,

Here's some more pics:

Engine is OOB except for air cleaners which came from the Revell Shelby 427 S/C kit.

Here's another pic showing the improved fit of the bumper. Yeah, the mold seams on the bumper are still there but I don't have any BMF or Alclad to fix them with and this looks better than plain old silver paint to me.

Thanks for the comments

Can't believe it's been three months since I did any thing to this one. I keep getting side tracked by airplanes. Anyway. I've got the interior done and the window trim painted on the body.

This is looking real good.

I really like that paint I've got an old truck that would look good on.
