Originally I bought this glue bomb as a spare parts car for my blue ZR1 with the broken rear window. So the plan. Then I had to built a torch red C7. I don't know whether you know, that there is a pre painted C7 avaliable in Germany. My quastion was, how close is the red paint by Revell to "torch red" by GM. So that was it to figure out. I needed a paint casualty. Why not that kit? The rims were missing and it was partly done, the paint was ripped of. I thought it is a good base to test the "torch red" for a comparison. So I did.

After paintig it it was clear to see, that the "torch red" is a lot of stronger. Nice. The ZR1 came out very well. That was on one Hand bad, because it would has been a shame to put the rest of the kit in a spare box but on the other Hand, my blue ZR1 will have the broken window further on. And I was still Need some rims for this red ZR1. Nevertheless, I built it up. Got the paint and glue of the Windows, polished them and got it a shiny paint Job.

The Question About the rims: they are from Revells Porsche Panamera. The fit awesome into the Wheel houses. The rest is out of the box. The head light covers are tinted and that's it.
