gasman Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 2 years after we first saw the C7 Corvette we finally get our first kit of one. This kit comes in the new smaller boxes we saw the 15 Mustang snap kit come in, but this kit is not as basic as that one. it comes with a multi piece interior. as well as nicely detailed headlights and taillights. there is no chrome in the kit. Revell nailed the "satin" finish wheels that the new Corvette has. The chassis is one piece. but is nicely detailed that some basic painting should make it look great.

Exotics_Builder Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 They're just showing up. NOTE, this is the snap version, not the pre-painted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSNJim Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 I just picked this and the 2017 Raptor up today. The Corvette is the traditional Revell Snap-Tite; well detailed and simple to put together. There's a few minor parting seams on the body, but other than that, nothing to complain about. There is no paint on the model - you'll have to do any detail painting needed.The Raptor is labeled as a Snap-Tite, but looks more like the Build and Play Series. A very glossy finish with the wheel wells and B pillar painted black, and "Raptor" printed on the sides. The interior has a separate dash and steering wheel; the rest is one piece including the bed. The windows are painted black in the appropriate places, and the wheels are black. The headlights are painted silver like the Mustang.I'm very pleased with both, and am looking forward to building them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brett Barrow Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Bored at work today, did a quick snap together of this kit. It's not bad. I like the silver for the wheels, but it doesn't work as we'll for the headlights. Wish they were chrome. Can't wait for the more detailed kits to show up, I know they're doing the pre-paint hope they do a full-detail normal kit as well. Body is matte, not textured, but just dull. Doesn't have that typical snap kit shine.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Handley Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 True, but at least you aren't paying $50 not to get that engine ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horsepower Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Well at least the yellow base should work for nice base color for a pearl yellow top coat and some clear yellow for a duplicate of the new Corvette tint yellow color. Shoot, might even get away with a little clear pearl, then clear yellow to be really nice and different at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
