Spottedlaurel Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Curbside build after I robbed the engine to go into a '67 Impala. Rather than put the box back on the shelf I thought I may as well chuck the rest together, as it seemed to assemble nicely and I need to reduce my unbuilt inventory. WIP thread here: Colour is Ford Caymen Blue by Halfords, a 1990s colour used on European cars, with their clearcoat. Wheels are Rays Volk C-Europe by Aoshima with staggered Fujimi tyres, Brembo brake discs by Fujimi at the front and Tamiya Nissan Silvia front discs on the rear. Now I see that preview image above I can see I got the calipers in wrong place! 1:25 AMT 1993 Corvette ZR-1 kit by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr 1:25 AMT 1993 Corvette ZR-1 kit by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr 1:25 AMT 1993 Corvette ZR-1 kit by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr 1:25 AMT 1993 Corvette ZR-1 kit by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr 1:25 AMT 1993 Corvette ZR-1 kit by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr Thanks for looking.

Dragonhawk1066 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Looks great and the stance is spot-on!! About 100 times better than the box art, in fact it has me kind of seriously considering picking up one or two now, as the box art had me scared off, lol.

I don't think the version I had was too bad, although it looks to have been heavily retouched, but there's one with a red car that looks terrible.

Spottedlaurel Posted February 5, 2021 Author Share Posted February 5, 2021 Thanks everyone for the kind words. Certainly went together nicely and worked out well for a quick, enjoyable build. 10 hours ago, Nxr said: The vettes in europe always look better than the ones back home haha Here's one I saw a couple of times in the town I used to work in: 1992 Chevrolet Corvette by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr 1992 Chevrolet Corvette by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bisc63 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 That really did build up nice, agree with others that the box art does not do justice to the kit, but you show how it can be a great display piece! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
