most detailed chevelle kit?

[Mrdarkmonkey96]

I want to make a better version of the revell chevelle 3n1 I built my dad, as I wasnt impressed with the detail.

Im curious as to what the "best" kit is, both quality, accuracy and detail wise.

Also if anyone has built this kit and detailed with photo etch badging etc, if you could comment the parts numbers that would be great!

The 1/24 Monogram/Revell '70 Chevelle/Malibu is probably the best kit, sad to say.

For the ultimate '70 Chevelle SS, combine the body parts (and maybe the interior) from the 1/25 Revell SnapTite '70 Chevelle SS 454 with the chassis from the 1/25 Revell '72 Olds Cutlass kit, and the BBC engine from the AMT '70 Monte Carlo SS454. The Monte has a very nice set of stock exhaust manifolds, but you will nee to source the correct air cleaner elsewhere.

You think the snap body and interior are better then the 3n 1 kit? I would rather get the 3n1for the extra parts value etc. I was mainly just disappointed with the undercarriage and engine/engine bay details.

if its for any / all chevelles i'd have to say the lindberg 65? 66 chevelle (blue car box art) was probly the best chevelle wise, as far as 70' year model i'm not sure, the body of the revell/ monogram i always thought was quite nice, yet i'm not a big fan of 1/24 scale i prefer the 1/25

305s 350b or blown

Dont forget to paint that front grille middle bar body colour!! Laff

Body lines are great

I would say yes, at least the body. Revell's recent SnapTite kit bodies are well done, and the 1/24 kit is the only 1/24 kit of the bunch, so it's all or nothing if you use that as the base model.
