2022 Corvette

[Hard_2_Handle_454]

After my Challenger, this is one of the few cars on the road today that I would want to drive.  I finished this last week, and wanted to upload the photos, but with losing kitty I didn't have the time or motivation to do it.  So this model is a bit of a dedication to her memory since it was my last build before losing her.

The model itself is one of their best.  It goes together quite easy and only has a couple of issues.  One is the engine; which I believe was already mentioned in a previous thread.  You build it, but the majority of it can't be seen!  The chassis was also hard to get on.  I had to fight it to get it to fit right.  The hood for the engine is also a very tight fit.  So tight, it's hard to get the hood up to view the engine.  So I left it closed.  Only other criticism I had was having to paint the head and tail lights.  Just a personal preference of not having to do that.  Some may notice that the area around the rear vent down is supposed to be black.  I just thought it looked better in body color.   I'm sure it's an option anyway.  

If I could afford a new Corvette, this is the exact car I would want.  I've seen a Hugger Orange one driving around town and I thought that was the best, most suiting color for one.  It shows off all the car's highlights.

Beautiful Corvette.  Very well done.  These are really slick cars.

can anyone who has this kit tell me if it comes with front window mask for the window trim? thanks.

Beautiful looking paint finish and the stripes look good on this color. Clean looking trim finishes on the body and interior. Every time I see one of these on the road, I think it's some Italian Exotic car at first.

No, at least not in the version I got.  Unfortunately, you have to paint it on.

Really sharp looking. I like how you did the black on the windshield. What did you use?
