Hi there,

this snap kit was much better than expected and offers a nice body shape, unlike other kits (Arii 1982 Corvette, for instance). I did some detailing on the interior and body but mostly concentrated on the paint job. Great fun to build!

It has to be said that the kit has not much to do with the actual "Turbo Vette", but depicts a regular 1980 model (if I'm not mistaken). But that was just what I was looking to build.

I never bought that particular kit because I just didn't trust it's accuracy. I might have to buy it because it looks rather nice.

Well, I recommend it. There is another variant of the same kit for a "custom corvette", with a raised custom hood and turbine wheels (red model shown on the box top). I will be looking out for that one, too.

Beautiful paint, could you share the paint colour and brand, thanks 👍

Thanks, the color is a metallic green from the can by German brand Multona. If you need more details, let me know.

Great looking paint color and finish on both Corvettes. Like the interior color and the clean finishes.

This is excellent work! I love that green metallic color. Could you point me in the right direction in acquiring some?

Thanks! Since you're not the first one asking, I checked the color I used in detail. Turned out that it's a Ford paint called Pacific Green.

I might do a 90's Mustang in it one day. 😀
