This review covers the 1958 Chevy Impala 1:25 Scale Revell Model Kit #85-4419.  Revell has re-released the ’58 Chevy Impala in a Stock version for 2016. This was previously released in the Lowrider version and was based on a Diecast car made into a model kit. The idea was to compete with the aging mold from AMT that was originally released in 1962 and had all the chrome pieces molded onto the body, whereas 000 the Revell kit had all the chrome trim done as separate, pre-chromed parts. This kit is a Skill Level 4 for ages 12 and up and has a suggested five hours of assembly time.  There are 136 parts molded in White, Clear, Clear Red and Chrome with Vinyl tires and metal axles, pins and screws. The motor is highly detailed and needs little to make it contest quality. The chassis is well detailed and multiple parts. The interior is crisply molded with separate door panels and high detail including decals for the seats and instrument panel. The body has opening trunk and hood; the doors would be simple to open too. All chrome trim is added on;  not molded in. The tires have Whitewall inserts. Decals for the body only include a red pinstripe aside from the Stock emblems. Overall dimensions are: Length: 8″, Width: 3″, Height: 2-3/16”.
