Adecoste Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 I just finished up the first model I have built in probably 10 years. Its the 1989 issue Revell 69 corvette with the box misprint that says 429 instead of 427. The quality was pretty poor on some parts on this kit, the chrome is very lite and you can see the red plastic through it in some spots. The tire halves were also misaligned when being formed so they were all out of round. I'm happy with the final result though. Its painted with some old Color Extra spray bomb I found in the basement haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake45 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 That looks pretty darn nice! In fact, detail out the Rally Wheels and it'll be PERFECT! Model on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It certainly is closer to Monaco Orange ( et alia ) , but I was trying to be clever by stating a generic 'red' . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoDak1 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 I bet GM suspended Revells liscense after that mistake hahaha. Beautiful vette btw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Kudos for some nice work with this kit. I've never heard of Color Extra paint, but it's obviously good stuff. I'll echo Snake45's comment about the wheels: just a touch of argent paint on the wheel surface, some flat black in the slots and a light wash of black in the cap fluting and you'll take a great build up another notch. Based on what you've shown here, I'd love to see more of your work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 I think it looks great. As you pointed out the kits quality isn't what we've come to expect in todays kits. This sure turned out nice despite the kits basic problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
