lowriderphil Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 She's finally done, Revell 1958 Impala. Painted hampstead green with a deep jewel green metallic top. Interior is a two tone light sage and gold combo. Stock wide whitewalls with 59 dodge lancer hubcaps. Not to crazy on this one just wanted a clean mild custom. Will print the tags when I get new ink.

Peter Lombardo Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Looks really period correct. I love the two-tone green......if I may, just one small point that you could fix real easy......the insignias on the nose and continental spare on the tail could use a little bare metal foiling. I think that little bit would finish it off just fine. But with or without that, it is a really nice build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draggon Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 That turned out great Phil, I sure dig it! The caps and lakers work quite well on this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorvairJim Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 While I'm not really into lowriders (especially the modern ones!), I'm a big fan of '58 Chevys. This one's a real beauty. The colors are perfect on it, and the flipper caps and lakes pipes really make the look! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Just curious... why didn't you foil the hood and trunk emblems and the door locks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erik Smith Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Very cool look. I like the choice of wheel covers and the paint colors. This is one kit I have put off buying for some reason - makes me want to get one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skydime Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 (edited) I never really cared for a 58 until just now. I will definitely be picking up one of these the next time I am at Michael's. Thanks for making me a believer, Phil! Edited December 4, 2011 by Skydime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geetee66 Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 You nailed it! She sits just right, the colour is spot-on and the caps and lakes are perfect. I think the paint is really excellent. Not just because it's very crisp, beautifully polished and the right shades, but also because the grain of the metalflake is a realistic scale. I got hold of the AMT version recently and I hope it looks even half as good as yours when I build it! I dunno how it stacks up against the Revell kit. It will, of course get similar treatment to yours. Nice photography, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
