47 Chevy Fleetmaster

Finally finished this off before the end of the New Year. Definitely a challenge, but fun. Did some "on the workbench" photos here http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/119251-47-chevy-fleetmaster-galaxie/

That color really makes it PoP!

That's a beauty!  Engine compartment details are outstanding.

Looks nice.  Good work on the engine detailing.

Beautiful looking build. I would never have thought of using that color on that year model build, but really makes it standout.

[dougwintz]

Thanks, guys. The color is tamiya clear orange over white primer.

Nicely done !

[dougwintz]

The only fitment problem I had was with the hood. Couldn't quite get that to fit tightly and I had the same issue with the panel van as well. At some point, I have to just move on.

one of these days ...I'm gonna by one of these.....

Very nice, Doug! Those Galaxie kits are a challenge, but worth the effort! Would like to see more car subjects from them!

Cool cars!!

[Lovefordgalaxie]

That is a cool looking car. 

The color is not my cup of tea, but it suits the overall look you wanted to get, kind of a very mild custom?

Want this kit for some time, but those are hard to get here.
