LAone Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 im tuned in. you can see the differences. so far, which do you think is looking better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janne Herajärvi Posted April 5, 2011 Author Share Posted April 5, 2011 Got Revell body painted today. AMT is still awaiting for color choice Like you see so far from these pics there is many differences about these kits. They both have their good and bad points, and i can tell about those later. Anyways here is what ive done so far. Luis: I think Revell body is better, but AMT gets its points from engine. Chassis are both good to me.

Naydrus Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Engine on the left looks better in my opinion. The intake looks more realistic. Both look nice.. but I would go with #1 if I had a choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W117monte Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 I don't get AMT has 3 humps in the oil pan. The revell trans is more detailed. It's been awhile since I've built the revell one. I'll be watching this build. Your doing a great job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janne Herajärvi Posted April 9, 2011 Author Share Posted April 9, 2011 Yeah, its little confusing with those differences. Thank you. Not much to show, but here is seats. Painted is Revell and white plastic AMT. I try to get more done for next update Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janne Herajärvi Posted April 10, 2011 Author Share Posted April 10, 2011 Painted some blue today. There is NYPD Caprice and AMT Chevelle. Why Chevelle has only roof, hood and trunk painted in blue? Try to guess More later... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanielG Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Question, some of those differences are huge, which kit is closer to the real car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janne Herajärvi Posted April 12, 2011 Author Share Posted April 12, 2011 (edited) Question, some of those differences are huge, which kit is closer to the real car? Good guestion. Revell body looks better to me, and it has better details. Everything else is 50% points for both, they have their good and bad points. Some Chevelle specialist guy would help with this guestion of accuraty? Edited April 12, 2011 by Janne Herajärvi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janne Herajärvi Posted April 24, 2011 Author Share Posted April 24, 2011 Thank you AMT body is masked and ready for painting some black Ill show results later, i hope it turns alright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janne Herajärvi Posted April 24, 2011 Author Share Posted April 24, 2011 Black turned pretty good to me. Now little waiting and then i can mask it off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janne Herajärvi Posted April 24, 2011 Author Share Posted April 24, 2011 Here is results. Not bad, but could be better. I think someone here got that so called "bad hair day" Yes there was hair midle of the roof, what i didnt notice before i taked masks off. Well now there is tiny blue line from stripe to stripe Some touch up painting and sanding before clear coat should solve problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Smith Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 (edited) Looks really nice. I like the color combo. I enjoy seeing both kits built for comparison. Edited April 24, 2011 by Coyotehybrids Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
