rick6343 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Revell's '67 Corvette roadster. The red plastic taught me a lesson. That color is supposed to be Dupli-color "Pewter" and it looked the part until I cleared it. Now it's kind of copper. Mid-60s racer. Exhaust and side pipes from the last reissue of the '67 coupe. Wheels from the Baldwin-Motion Corvette. Driver's seat from Stars and Stripes Corvette. L88 setup from a Revell '68-69 Corvette. Tires are four of the "little" Revell Goodyear Sports Car Specials, adapted with parts-box wheel backs. Roll bar is styrene. Decals are from the parts box and 100% fictitious. Spent a lot of time working with the wheel backs and axles to get the wheels/tires to sit just right. The kit went together really well. Comparing the body to other '63-67 Corvettes, I'm pretty sure this one is about 3 scale inches short through the doors. Knowing that now, it definitely looks a bit stubby to me. Has anyone else noticed this? Thanks for looking, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modlbldr Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Rick- Nice job on that! I see what you mean about the red bleeding through. It still looks good though. I've got a build going right now that I have primered in Krylon white. There is one piece on the entire body that is made from red plastic and it is bleeding through. I think that I may hit it with a bit of silver and then the white primer to see if that helps. Fortunately for me it is on the underside of a whale tail so it may not show so badly. It may be in the shadows just enough. Anywho....enough rambling. Your build is cool. Later- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsimmons Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Very clean build. I like it a lot (and I'm not a corvette fan). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robertw Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 I did one in yellow and mine never gave me the impression of being to short. Perhaps it was the color and lack of windshield that is giving you that impression. robw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
