Really like the colors, and the resin wheels look great, too--keep the hub caps from sticking out too far.  Nice job!

When the coupe was released (as in your picture), it also included all the stock parts.  That included stock rally wheels, hood, and stock exhaust (full pipes to the rear valence, including chrome tips), or plastic plugs to fill in the holes in the rear valence for the custom version.  The box described the model as a 2 in 1, and the descriptions on the box listed both options.  Maybe the new version will also come this way?

When I get in a pinch, I always check "cars-on-line.com".  It's an online sales site that can sometimes come with many photos, and all makes are represented as well as years.  I find it particularly handy for stock interiors.

I've got a bunch of the various Revell '67 Corvette kits, and I really like them.  My only suggestion would be to trim the inner front wheel wells or you'll have a hard time getting the assembled chassis inside the body, but other than that, have fun.


In Topic: carburetor color !

I'm partial to a color I found in a variety store in Colorado a few years ago.  It's Krylon Short Cuts "Antique Bronze" enamel, in a one ounce bottle.  It's maybe a 3:1 mix of brass and silver, and to me it looks perfect on a Holley carb.  Sad to say, though, it could be hard to find these days.
