happy grumpy Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 This is the Revell kit. Nothing fancy, Built straight from the box. Really nice and detailed kit, builds up like a breeze. Tamiya pure white and french blue for the top. I remember taking a ride in one back when I was 7, I built it as I remember it. Probably not the same blue but close enough. As always ,thanks for looking. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragline Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Can't get enough of those fins. Love me a 59.. Nice color choices and so clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zippi Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 That's a good looking 59 Impala Mario. Great finish. I have the AMT 59 Impala but that chrome down the side of those fins looks like a chore since there is really nothing to guide use when cutting the bmf.

1959scudetto Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 You delivered again, Mario ! Nice color-combination and fine finish. But keep attention - there seem to be some bad guys around that parking lot trying to demolish your rear bumper :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Nunes Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Very nice model. 👍👍 I remember seeing those back in the days and thinking how good they looked. Still thinking it is a great design. Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The revell kit has the side molding trim as separate part, like the 58 impala, it's a great time saver. 9 hours ago, Engine 51 said: Seeing that build put a smile on my face (and I could use that right now).

I realized the bumper was dropping after posting. Brought it to the garage and fixed it. Sent grand pa to bed without desert!.😁 2 hours ago, Joe Nunes said: Very nice model. 👍👍 I remember seeing those back in the days and thinking how good they looked.

I am glad that I grew up around those, although they were quickly disappearing in the late 60's. 31 minutes ago, cobraman said: That's a beauty. Thanks Ray. BTW, is the re issued AMT cobra any good ? what would be the best kit for a first cobra build? cheers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t seem to find one I picked one up at a model car show/flea market in Toronto earlier this year. Even the guy I bought it from said “These are getting hard to find.” Good luck with your search. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
