70mach1 Posted November 10, 2019 Posted November 10, 2019 (edited) This is a very rare color option- only 140 were produced in this color. It's a nice change from the black, red and white Corvettes. Old Revell kit, plastic was very brittle and warped. Some of the best chrome I've ever seen on malformed parts- that's why I decided to build it OOB. Refinished in custom mixed RM lacquers, DuPont urethane clear coat. Edited November 10, 2019 by 70mach1
Dave Darby Posted November 11, 2019 Posted November 11, 2019 (edited) Looks great! Love the color, and really nice paint job. BTW, Not sure why Revell calls it a 1960, but it's ts really a 1959. 59s have horizontal pleats on the seats, 60s are vertical. For a long time, AMT called their 60 Corvette a 59. Odd... Anyway, I have definite warm spot for that old multi piece body kit. Very under rated, it's one of the finest solid axle Vette kits out there, which is pretty impressive when you consider it dates back to 1959! The original issue has stock wheel covers and tires, plus a driver and female figures. Edited November 11, 2019 by Dave Darby
larman Posted November 11, 2019 Posted November 11, 2019 Nice colors! These are tricky with the multi piece body, you did a great job!
espo Posted November 11, 2019 Posted November 11, 2019 This looks great and I kind of like the color. I have this kit but the closest I've come to building it was to use the chrome rims on another project. Looking at your build is making me reconsider building one also.
Modlbldr Posted November 11, 2019 Posted November 11, 2019 Beautiful color for this car. Nice job on your build! Later-
Snake45 Posted November 11, 2019 Posted November 11, 2019 Very nice! That old kit still build up pretty well, doesn't it? Well done and model on!
spencer1984 Posted November 11, 2019 Posted November 11, 2019 Great choice of color, that's a terrific looking Vette!
TooOld Posted November 11, 2019 Posted November 11, 2019 Very nicely done , and I really like that color option ! The license plate is cool too .
kelson Posted November 12, 2019 Posted November 12, 2019 A real beauty and nice to see you picked a rare color instead of the common colors I usually see!.
robertw Posted November 12, 2019 Posted November 12, 2019 Very good job on a fairly poor kit. Like your choice of color.
Lunajammer Posted November 12, 2019 Posted November 12, 2019 That's a beauty on a sentimental favorite.
Earl Marischal Posted November 12, 2019 Posted November 12, 2019 Stunning colour! Really suits the car. Gives it an overall classy look combined with those rims. steve
BigTallDad Posted November 12, 2019 Posted November 12, 2019 Very well done! It's refreshing to see a non-fuel injected "Vette.
Johnt671 Posted November 14, 2019 Posted November 14, 2019 Great color chioce, and a nice job putting it together!
