Ron Hamilton Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Modelhaus. I "massaged" mine a little, but that's just me. Out of the box, it was pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
om617 Posted April 19, 2014 Author Share Posted April 19, 2014 Looks great Ronald. What did you "massage" on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Hamilton Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I checked every thing for fit, replaced some of the moulded on emblems with photoetch from the Model Car Garage '65 Chevrolet Set, and rescribed the pleats on the seats and door panels. It is one of my favorite models, but I would not do it like this again, as the paint job was not easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
