pharoah Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 I finally finished something. This is a second edition AMT kit. Not the original,but the one after it. It was partially built,missing parts,and molded in a dark red. For some reason,they changed the custom hubcaps after the firat issue. These look 64 Corvette caps. It's painted Testor's purple,with a white interior. It's not detailed at all. It supposed to be a 60's custom,the way thay built them back then. The tires are from the Revell 64 Chevy pickup,I believe.
Eshaver Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 John , It gets MY vote because you had the audacity to use a very obscure color , Testor's Lt Purple which is as close to the Darker purple sold in 1963 when that kit was talked up in Car Craft magazine by then, Budd Anderson . Thanks for allowing me back into my most favored tome , the 60's .
Harry P. Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 Looks like the bed isn't sitting right, but otherwise I love the "old school" vibe, Pretty cool!
pharoah Posted April 17, 2015 Author Posted April 17, 2015 Ellen,thanks for the compliments. Yes it is an unusual color. This is the first model I ever painted light purple. Haryy,You're right. I noticed that too after I posted the pics. It's better now. I had to really push on it to get it down where it belonged.
gatorincebu Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 Nice looking build. To me it is more reminiscent of a 50's custom truck. OR should I say .What I remember to be like. be Well Gator
