Porscheman Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 This is another one of my one day builds. This started out as a Modelhaus 65 Imperial that I received on friday. The car was soaked overnight in Purple Power as soon as it arrived. Next it was primed using Dupli-Color Gray sandable primer. The body was then painted with 4 coats of Dulpi-Color med. grey metallic and 4 coats of Testors wet look clear. The glass was painted with a light coat Tamiya's clear blue. The interior was painted Krylon burgandy. The vinyl top was done with a Super Sharpie. It was a very enjoyable build. Let me know what you think AL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peekay Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 I really like that - quick build or not, it turned out great. It shows NO sign of having been done in a hurry. I would have spent all day just getting the BMF that nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porscheman Posted October 5, 2013 Author Share Posted October 5, 2013 (edited) Thank you guys!!! I've been watching the auction and swap meets and there was no way I could afford a $175.00 Imperial. When I saw that the Modelhaus had this on for $92.00 and my wife wanted to get me a kit for my Birthday, It was a no brainer. Beautifully done Modelhaus.

realgone58 Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Very nice Imp. I've got a project planned for one of these. 4 door conversion. Wheelbase and roof are the same, so it should be fairly easy. (If I don't slip too much doing the panel lines!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
