Kennyboy Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 (edited) Picked up the new Stingray Snap tite and just had to cut the top off! Used an older Corvette convertible trunk to fill in the hole. A little interesting to get the lines to match and although the trunk lines don't match the 1:1 (no vents on the quarters of the convertible...) I like the look of it. Gonna paint it Toreador Red over HOK Goldmine Pearl. It will have the ZR1 brakes behind the wheels. Enjoy!

Nope! your thoughts were exactly what I thought when I looked at it sans top. Edited August 31, 2015 by Kennyboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robertw Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Note that the conv C7 doesn't have the vents on the rear fenders so you could fill them and smooth the cars lines even more. This is an interesting build and certainly proves the the conv C7 looks better then the coupe. I just picked up a couple of these kits the other day but will build a coupe first. It's abetter kit then I expected. When I first got the C7 promo I was very worried but clearly this kit is not based on the same mold.

Kennyboy Posted February 29, 2016 Author Share Posted February 29, 2016 Digging this up from the grave for an update..... Worked on the chassis for quite awhile to replicate the 1:1, being it was all one piece it was a REAL challenge to paint all the details (think promo-style.) 1st the 1:1 Now my attempt (excuse the cel phone pics) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikemodeler Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 If the body looks half as nice as the chassis, then I'd say you have a winner! That chassis looks fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kennyboy Posted March 11, 2016 Author Share Posted March 11, 2016 Thanks guys! Finally got the body painted....used OPI nail polish cut at 60% Lacquer thinner. (color is called "Romance on the moon".....) It matches the color I was shooting for, so I went with it! As you can see, small movements can change the look of the paint color.

Phirewriter Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 (edited) Where did you find that brand of nail polish? Gorgeous color!!! Have to tag along with the woman when she replenishes her beauty supplies again. Kinda makes me laugh when I go to a store by myself and watch the look I get when purchasing nail polish. Nowadays you'd probably get less judgement for wearing the stuff than building models with it! Edited March 12, 2016 by Phirewriter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
