AMT 1967 Chevy Impala SS Update

I thought I posted about this a year or two ago ; however, it was probably in the scale-auto forum, so that post is lost forever it would seem.  At any rate, This is my first foray into the mysterious world of scale autos... It's refreshing to paint something that's not Olive Drab or Ghost Grey for a change.  I took a break from this kit after messing up the paint job initially and after unsuccessfully trying to strip the Testors One-Coat-Lacquer, I bit the bullet and purchased another kit. fast forward a couple years....

Started foiling it tonight and although to late for this build, I finally got the correct orange for the engime from MCW.. I am really enjoying this kit and will probably pick up one or two more.  I have a couple Monogram 1971 Plymouth GTX's that I hope to build in the near future as well. This car thing could be adicting...

Very nice!  The paint turned out great and I like the glimpse of that interior.  Build more cars!

Thanks,

John

Thanks crown, I used to think a bare metal aircraft scheme was the ultimate test of one's finishing skills, but it I was wrong...
