  1. Thanks guys, I was able to solve the issue with the hairdryer and the tape!
  2. Wow this looks very nice, this becomes a beauty
  3. Fantastic job on the vette!
  4. Sounds good, copper is a really nice color and in combination with white. The old Corvettes have these colors also.
  5. Very nice job, like the look
  6. Like it, one of my favorite models. Combi with the wheels and tyres is great!
  7. Thanks all, im going to give it a new try the weekend with hairdryer again, just to be sure I will use some tape to keep it in shape until its completely cooled down. Gracias
  8. Very nice build, you did a great job
  9. What is the best way to fix a twisted or bent car body? I got a car body that has been stuck in the box, probably for years. So its bit twisted and to wide on the bottom side, now the question is how can I get this back into the correct shape. Tried multiple things: - Heating with hairdryer, doesnt work. Think this is not hot enough the heat the plastic - Put it in hotwater, bend it back and let it cool but goes back to wrong position Tried the kitchen gas cooker plate to heat but I'm scared to use it too long because this is probably to much heat in the wrong places? All suggestions are welcome, maybe small hand gas torch??
  10. Mr. Muscle oven cleaner does not work for all paint. I used brake fluid DOT4, all brake fluid should work (3, 4 and 5.1) except for DOT5. This is the result using Mr. Muscle oven cleaner This the result of 24 hours DOT4 On the dutch forum a lot off guys are using brake fluid.
  11. Welcome Jake, looking forward to your topics
  12. Nice, thanks all for the answers and tips. Very helpful!
  13. Hey Rich, thanks man. Yes for sure, thats the plan! Still don't know what colors i'm going to use, must say the US flag body looks very nice so might go for the original version.
  14. No rush, just curious what the plans for the wheels where. However I will follow this topic because I love Corvette's
  15. Nice job, stance is good! The pinstripe decal is very nice
  16. LOL no worries, I will try to make something nice of it. :-) Thanks for the info!
  17. Thanks for sharing, yours is really bad twisted. I hope mine is better but already noticed that my rear body parts (don't know the exact name) is bent. We will see what I can make of it, the quality looks little bit disappointing so far.
