'59 Chevy Impala


This is Monogram's '59 Chevy Impala Hardtop #2454


Built pretty much from the box.

Body: Airbrushed with 3 coats of a custom mixed enamel, I call it "apricot, this was achieved by blending Humbrol's Orange and White enamels, then I trimmed it with BMF.

Interior: Two coats of satin black enamel, and it was also trimmed with BMF, I used the self-adhesive "cloth look" seat inlays supplied with the kit, the steering wheel was painted part mother of pearl, and part black.

Wheels/Tires: Are from AMT's '57 Ford Fairlane, tires were sanded, and lettered with Tamiya matt white.

This model won me best "non" box stock at a local model show.
