This is the Galaxie 1/25 kit, a challenging but fun one to build. I airbrushed the exterior with Scalefinishes Como Blue and Dove Grey (original chevrolet colors for this period) and Tamiya TS-13 clear gloss over coat. I deviated from the instructions by pre-mounting the front fenders to the body before assembly/ paint and installing the interior directly within the body instead of pre-mounting to the chassis. I had a bear of a time installing both front and rear bumpers which seemed to encounter the short end of the tolerance stack-up on this model - thank goodness for 5 minute epoxy! The “stovebolt” 235 CI straight six engine was my favorite part of this build and made me nostalgic for my second car (a ‘55 Bel Air 4 door with the same engine, bought for $265 USS and driven for 3 years).
I love these streamline “futuristic” post-war GM designs and wish Galaxie or Moebius might produce others (‘47 Caddie Series 62 fastback please????).
Cheers,
John
