Lovefordgalaxie Posted January 6, 2015 Author Share Posted January 6, 2015 Black is beautiful. What kit is this, Revell or AMT? Monty is right, this one is the AMT kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmvw guy Posted January 6, 2015 Share 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!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W-409 Posted January 6, 2015 Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovefordgalaxie Posted January 6, 2015 Author Share 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. This is the Impala just painted: 1964 Chevrolet Impala SS by Lovefordgalaxie, on Flickr 1964 Chevrolet Impala SS by Lovefordgalaxie, on Flickr 1964 Chevrolet Impala SS by Lovefordgalaxie, on Flickr 1964 Chevrolet Impala SS by Lovefordgalaxie, on Flickr 1964 Chevrolet Impala SS by Lovefordgalaxie, on Flickr The automotive paint reduced for airbrush use: 1964 Chevrolet Impala SS by Lovefordgalaxie, on Flickr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
