peekay Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 (edited) Another one of my all-time favourite designs and one of my favourite kits, too. Finished this one this summer, paint is Zero base coats with Tamiya clear, wheels are from the kit but wear Modelhaus tyres and hubcaps.(BTW My camera wasn't able to distinguish between the Chevy engine orangey/red and the body red but the difference IS THERE!)Hosted on Fotki On the other side of this model I had an unfixable paint mistake on the driver's door so I put this decal over it. Since it would now be a "two-sided" car, I decided to go with black-walls too while I was at it. Edited August 10, 2017 by peekay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete L. Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Peter, Super nice build...great attention to detail and looks like lots of research ! Great save with the two sided motif. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W-409 Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Very nice X-Frame Chevy! I really like these bodies a lot and you did excellent job with this build. I like the look with body colored steelies and hubcaps, also the white walls fit very nicely to this. The other side with that text and black wall tires looks very good, too. Very nice engine detail, but as a fan of those "W" Engines, I'd like to see a better picture of it...It looks so good from here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sixties Sam Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Beautiful! I always liked the 59 El Camino better than any that came after it! That was a creative idea for covering the paint problem! Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
