Re: Vintage Revell '54 Chevy Highboy
I've really gotta get one of these kits. I've built the panel wagon but always liked the lines of the sedan version of it. Good progress so far Tom.
Love the color man.

I looked in scalemates on the red white blue panel wagon I've been wanting for years. Basically the same exact instruction guide as this kit.

I love that orange. The clear really makes it pop.
I have the red, white and blue kit on the bench. I've started on it, kinda. I also have the green version kit as well and the cast is way better on the sprues than the white one.
Looking forward to seeing this one on its wheels.

I looked at the box cover and found I really didnt need to trim out the rear wheel wells.
Oh well.... too late. I think it'll come out as a nice gasser regardless.

Bare metal foil on trimwork and decals are on. This one will be done tonight if all goes to plan.
