I'm building this to represent the Chevelle I used to own "back in the day". This build has a few "firsts" for me, including doing a vinyl roof (masking tape method), using very thin strips of styrene to form drip rails and moldings for the vinyl roof, and covering the trim with BMF. I also used small pieces cut from transparent red page tabs to make the tail light lenses and adhered them with a few drops of Future. The kit tail lights were just chrome and I didn't think painting the lenses would look very realistic. Think I'll try using the same method on the marker lights, after applying BMF to their trim. There's definitely some touch up and fine tuning to do, but I think it's headed in the right direction...
