Lovefordgalaxie Posted January 6, 2015 Author Posted January 6, 2015 Black is beautiful. What kit is this, Revell or AMT? Monty is right, this one is the AMT kit.
rmvw guy Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 Super clean Tulio as usual! The engine wires look perfect as does the black paint and foil ( a lot of foil I know ). Another classic by Tulio and really quick build, WOW!!!!
W-409 Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 Great to see you building a Chevy, too! This sure is a good looking car, it's just a shame that AMT kit is pretty simple...Especially the engine bay and chassis are not on "today's standards". You did very good job with this one, though. That paint job is really impressive. Gloss black is hard to get right, but it couldn't be any better than this. Nice and clean work overall also.

People think because I'm a Ford guy I hate them Chevrolets. Nothing could be more far from the true. The fact is I have a preference for Ford cars, but it's not a radical thing, otherwise I wouldn't have a full scale Chevy truck in my garage. I really like the AMT kit. Maybe most of all just because it's so simple. I have one, still in the box, that has lights!! Also thanks on the paint job.
Lovefordgalaxie Posted January 6, 2015 Author Posted January 6, 2015 Guys, thanks a lot for the compliments on the Impala. The paint I used I already told you is automotive synthetic enamel, what I didn't tell you, is that I bought the can last year for about 4,50 Dollars (yes, one liter of paint) have already painted two cars, and the can is almost full still. Talk about a cheapo paint job!!!! Also used my cheapo airbrush that is a knock off of a Badger 350, and costed 7 Dollars... Two years ago... and does the exact same job as the real deal 350, I know, I have one. With the price Tamiya is getting here, and that is the only modeling paint I use for car bodies, I'm giving a try to other ways to paint a car. Also, the foil, is household aluminum foil and white glue. I was out of Bare Metal when built the Impala.

1 bad55 stan Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 Another perfect looking build as always....
carrucha Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 Nice Impala. Slick paint job. Good job making an old simple kit look good.
Curt Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Always enjoy seeing your work, Tulio. Another beauty!
SpitShineTommy Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 The other posts fail to mention the paint job on your car. It's is awesome.
Ridge Rider Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 That's very nice and even more impressive that you didn't use BMF.
TFchronos Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Super sweet build, hard to beat the designing of these old Impala's.
