signmike Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 This is a rendition of the Corvette Callaway Speedster that is in a museum today. I matched the colour with 3 base colour and a clear. Nice piece to have in my museum...sorry for the bad photos, my camera broke down... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fseva Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Camera-breakdown-or not, this is one very pretty car! I would love to know what the 3 base coats were, and if they were mixed together or applied separately... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

christian-w Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Nice and rare! Good to see one completed Like the details you spent on the car. The engine with booth intercooler is cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Can-Con Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 I think this is the first time I've seen one of these finished. ,, and an excellent job of it too. I have one I started when the kit was new. Painted it with a Honda DelSol color that was a pretty good match for the green on the real car but that's as far as I went with it.

robertw Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Haven't seen this kit built many times which is too bad since it is a very nice looking car. I started this kit a few years back but wrecked the paint job so after stripping it went back in the box and has stayed there. Seeing how nicely yours turned out might inspire me to take another look in the box.rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

signmike Posted January 29, 2016 Author Share Posted January 29, 2016 I would love to know what the 3 base coats were, and if they were mixed together or applied separatelySorry for being late with this. The colour I used was Tamiya aluminium spray decanted with Tamiya clear green in bottle. I added some green base coat that I don't remember. I know it's not helping much but it is a dark geen having a bluish tint...best I can do. The Tamiya aluminium has a very fine metallic that looks more to scale than many base colour for real car and also many model spray paint.

Jonathan Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 I'm glad this bounced back up to the top! You did a nice job on a kit that I'm not sure I've ever actually seen completed. I'm now inspired to attempt to finish the one I nearly completed a long time ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

signmike Posted January 29, 2016 Author Share Posted January 29, 2016 Thanks very much. The problem with this kit is to install the heat exchager to the exhaust and intake. Very though to align ang glue. Special care mustbe taken for it. Beside that, I enjoyed building it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanH. Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Nice model!Was the Speedster-Corvette available at car dealers, or is it a kind of prototype/custom? What´s the red on the steering-wheel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

signmike Posted January 30, 2016 Author Share Posted January 30, 2016 The red on the steering wheel is the Callaway Brand Name. Callaway for a long time have produce performance Corvette and equipment. My guess is you'd have to contact them to buy the car. Here in Canada, it was not available through the dealer...as I know of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
