1970 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu
*Revell/Monogram 1/24 scale kit (#2715)
*Wheels: parts box
*Features: foiled trim, filled hood, shaved SS emblems, MCG photoetched emblem set, tires decals from Fireball Modelworks
This car was built as a gift for my dad. See 1:1 pic below. He is the original owner of the car and had built a model of it sometime in the 1980s. After many years of displaying the model on the rear package shelf at car shows, the sun took its toll on the model body, warping it pretty good. I took his model, and using parts from 2 other Revell/Monogram Chevelle kits, restored it. The paint is special order using the Chevrolet paint code. This build represents a number of "firsts" for me, and unfortunately it shows some. It was the first time I wired a motor, fully foiled trim, or used a photoetched set.
