Built from the current reissue this 1/25 scale '67 Impala SS-427 has been painted in Tamiya TS-54 Metallic Blue and cleared with TS-13. The Hurst wheels, sprayed with a couple coats of Tamiya smoke, are from the Revell '66 GTO since the chrome was less than stellar on the kit wheels. And I managed to install the wiper blades in the proper order this time.

The color really shows the body lines, and the finish looks great. Remember seeing one on the new car showroom floor in these same colors' way back when.

All of the trim is super. It's tough to get that right for me. The color is just as I recall them on the streets in my neighborhood. Good looking 427 fender emblems.

Thanks Robert. Next time I want to do foil under paint for the fender emblems. I also felt the "427" numerals could have been better.

Awesome build Tom. Perfect color for this car . The beautiful outside  shots makes that great paint job show its beautiful shade.

Thanks David and Mario. It's slightly darker than Marina Blue which I always thought looked best on these cars. And it's definitely a matter of catching the sun at just the right angle.

very nicely done

Thanks Trevor, Larry, and Jeremy. I normally use factory wheels but I plan on using the Hurst wheels on future builds since I have a few more '66 GTO kits.
