Here's my Revell 1963 Impala build. Pretty much box stock other than the hoses. Slowly getting into the whole wire plumbing ordeal.

I really enjoyed this build. Parts fit together nicely. Only problem I had was with the body meeting the chassis. Just a little bit of warp but after a little bit of fiddling it set right.

Exterior paint: Rust-O-Leum double Coverage Blue.

Interior: Rust-O-Leum Silver Metallic and Blue Metallic.

Any/All comments are welcome. I'm always open to constructive criticism. Enjoy...

Sorry for the dull pictures. Will have to take some more when the sun returns.

Looks really nice but I think you need to use a different color paint to pick out highlights - exhaust, firewall, etc. I have a personal thing against gloss interiors - but that's just me. Sounds negative, but I like your build.

I agree 100%. I need to buy some Semi-Gloss/ Flat/ Matte colors for my interiors and such. I've been selfish on buying models instead of building a wide selection of paints to use for detailing. Given the pictures show the metallic more than what my eye really sees. I'm still at the point where I think $4 for a 1 oz. bottle of paint is ridiculous. Plus I'm a big Spray Can guy. I'm working on getting an air compressor so that I can start airbrushing to add more detail and colors for my interiors.
