Koellefornia Kid Posted October 4, 2018 Posted October 4, 2018 In 2013, a good friend of mine asked me if I could build a scale model of the „Supernatural“-Impala as a birthday present for his wife. I told him that I have heard of a resin kit of the car and if I would be able to get one, I´ll do it. Unfortunately I was told that the kit was discontinued, very rare and not available anymore. But I was lucky: a fellow modeler from a german forum kindly sold his copy of the kit to me and I fnished it just in time in May 2014 for the birthday in June. Here it is: The resin kit was a transkit and I needed AMT´s ´67 Impala as a donor. The resin body was lacking an engine bay, so it was cut from the AMT body and transplanted into the 4-door. Other than the TV car, the AMT coupe was a Super Sport so I had to eliminate the emblems from the grille and rear panel and I scratch built some bumper guards. The spotlights that came with the transkit were a little bit too bulbous, like Appletons from the 50s, so I swapped them for a pair from AMT´s ´40 Ford. The interior was detailed with some parts related to the TV show. Here is a picture of what was included in the resin kit: I remember, when the kit arrived, my friend was a bit disappointed. He said: „What about the trunk? And all the weaponry in it? That´s the most important feature of the car...“ I said:“Don´t worry, I´ll take care of that!“ I cut out the deck lid. Scratchbuilt a pair of hinges and a trunk and filled it with loads of demon hunting accessories: So that was my short trip into the world of television cars. Hope you like it. Greetings from Germany
