My wife wanted to see a red Chevelle with black racing stripes in my collection because she once dated someone who drove one. I bought a 1970 kit by another manufacturer and was thoroughly disappointed, as I had gambled I might be, due to the inferior QC I had encountered with previous kits from them. The frame was warped so it looked like a dog meeting a fire hydrant with the wheel hopped up off the ground. The interior cabin was warped as well and I could only do so much over the stove burner. So I decided to do this 1969 Revelle kit and replace the one that didn't qualify for display. Revelle usually puts out a good kit, but I must say the craftsmanship and fit of this one was on par with a Tamiya, and that is high praise not given lightly! There was practically no flash so I didn't lose time sanding pieces. It was a real joy to build. I was disappointed to see it didn't come with the racing stripe decals, so I had to modify electrical tape as best I could. It is serviceable. It does come with a plethora of decals to detail the interior and exterior though! If you decide to give it a try, I don't think you'll be disappointed. I did encounter a couple of issues with the instruction sheet. The painting guide identifies both blue and gold as the letter C. I had already painted the master cylinder gold, so the oil filter and bottom of fuel pump wound up gold as well. Additionally, the right exhaust manifold is identified as being painted J which does not exist. Common sense tells you to paint it steel to match the left one! Overall a really nice kit.

I built this kit a couple years ago, and it was a great kit from what I remember. I would definitely recommend this kit if you love them Chevelle’s!!

This is a very nice model to work with. The parts fit together well, there is nice detail and even the decals are easy to apply.
