Global Scale Modeller

Here is my second entry into this GB.

Revell 1/25 1994 Impala SS.
Kit No 85-9366
Scalemates link: https://www.scalemates.com/kits/158542- ... -impala-ss

I saw alot of these cars when I was a kid, and now am going to build this like I used to recall it.

I will paint it black using Tamiya Spray TS-14, the interior and underside will be brush painted.

Here are some pictures

Anyone who does that to a fine car like an impala should just... No, yeah they need to just not drive a car anymore.

I agree completely mate!

Anyways some work done on the kit

The engine




The underside being painted







I have given the engine a wash with vallejo dirt but it seems like it wasnt too effective



Body work



Primer applied (tamiya grey primer)





Tamiya TS 14 used to paint the body





Body Polished and being test fitted - tyres also fixed











Thats it for now, will keep working on the underside and the engine and a bit more on the body.

lookin nice! may have to break my kit out and give it a whirl

Thanks mate, nothing wrong with having a go!

The build is complete, this should be my final update before the reveal.

I painted the interior - everything is brush painted.

The engine was also complete.

I then weathered the engine a bit and also the underside using Tamiya Weathering master

The hood doesnt fit on completely, its always slightly raised - I guess I can live with that.

Here are the pics

I started with the dashboard, it was painted and I added decals, but they looked very cartoonish



I removed most of the decals and actually painted the details on, as I felt this looked more realistic



Seats painted with black middle







Side doors complete and all put together.







Car put together



Engine before weathering






Underside before weathering



Engine Weathered





Underside weathered slightly



The car

As seen, the hood doesnt fit on completely; it is raised slightly, but I dont really mind. I am happy with the build and the car overall is very nice for such an old kit.

I will give the car a bit of a cleanup and do up a Build Video and have a final reveal tomorrow or sometime in the week.

Good stuff man, not an easy kit to make look so realistic
