Started on this Chevy on the First of January. It's a replica of a 1:1 Impala owned by my grandfather in the '60s. His car was black, with a dark green interior, and that is what my 1:25 scale version is.

The paint I used on the body is automotive synthetic enamel. All the rest was painted with Testors enamels and acrylics. The only aftermarket stuff is the distributor and plug wires. Also built from sprue a upper radiator hose.

Hope you guys like it.

The body just painted:

Black is beautiful. What kit is this, Revell or AMT?

Between the old style screw-mount posts on either side of the radiator and the chromed headlights, I'd say it's the AMT kit. That said, he's got an annoying way of popping out perfect paint jobs on these old cars that, when combined with some detail painting, make for some incredible builds.

Your telling me with those killer paint jobs.

Just gorgeous Tulio, the only thing that bugs me about this kit is the moulded in headlights, guess it wouldn't take much to make it look realistic ;)
