Andy Oldenburg Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 This is a Revell kit, looks like for the European market. Maybe it is available outside Europe with a different packaging. The quality is superior: no flake, all parts fit and the detailing is crisp. The front wheels steer too. I was in the mood for a "simple" stock build with no body work. I just exchanged the wheels for stylish wire spokes and added my details to the engine, interior and undercarriage. Oh yeah, and the spare wheel. This color mix was not standard. A popular mix was light blue with white, but I discovered this scheme while looking for ideas on the web and fell in love with it. Paint is Molotow creme white, turquoise I mixed with Schmincke Aero Color Acrylic Airbrush. Chrome details are bare metal and top coat is AK crystal clear. The interior floor and the trunk are flocked. Seats belts are custom. The kit contained an option of building the engine with a classic carburetor or fuel injection. I chose the carb and let myself get inspired by images on the web. The fuel injection I used on a following model. On the undercarriage I added some more detail with the brake lines. Thanks for taking a look! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Beautiful looking Corvette. While the colors are reversed from what you would normally see here, I think this may even look better. The kit was available here several years ago, the tooling was changed to offer a '59-year model of the Corvette and I thought that the '58 was gone for good. The one I built was done in red with a white cove. Remember the trunk hinges being fiddly but otherwise a well-done kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
