Porscheman Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 This one took me almost a year to finish. The body was badly warped and the only replacement parts The Modelhaus carries for a 62 Imperial are for the AMT verision except the taillights. I straightened the body the best I could and painted in Tamiya Pearl Light Blue, Testors Wet Look Clear and Tamiya's Clear Blue for window tint. The interior was finished in Testors Maroon Lacquer. This car used a whole steet of BMF, which included front and rear bumpers and grill. The taillight are from The Modelhaus, Note!!! The bumpers The Modelhaus carries are for the AMT kit only. I was lucky and sold mine to a friend who had the AMT version. Let me know what you think about the color combo, it's a combo my dad's 64 Chrysler 300 and like the way it looked. Al

Bob Ellis Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 I bought Modelhaus bumpers to fix my Revell Imperial. Hope they fit.

ChrisR Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 Very nice restoration. I am lucky enough to have one mint in the box.
Porscheman Posted October 30, 2014 Author Posted October 30, 2014 Thank you everyone. It's not my best, but being an a 4 door Imperial, it fits perfectly in my land yacht collection. Al
