For my second build in many years I went with the Revell '68 Corvette. Build is basically box-stock with a few minor details added. Kit was assembled and primed with Tamiya fine gray. Exterior color is Scale Finishes GM International Blue, 3 coats, which I shot through a Badger 350 at 20 psi. I put a quick coat of DuPont clear on the hood but it fisheyed a little so I stopped right there. Honestly the Scale Finishes paint is so good it really doesn't need a clear.
Chassis is Tamiya flat black with details painted and then the whole washed with a mixture of artist's mars black and turpentine. All chrome was de-chromed and resprayed with Spaz Stix black backer and mirror chrome.
Interior is a work in progress but basically just Tamiya semi gloss black with some embossing powder carpets.
Should be done in a few days. Will post under glass then.

Welcome back to the hobby!

Haha. Sorry, Tom. I should have said "Yes, it IS the new packaging" :-)
-
Yes. I think that is the new packaging.

I think those are right on the money. Thanks for the help!

Does anyone know where I can find a set of wheels like the ones pictured here? I'm working on a GT350H and I would like to use these wheels instead of the kit's black and chrome versions. Thanks!

Welcome John, both models look good. Is there a windshield on the '06?
Haha. No, not yet. The '06 is still being finished. Part of that process is a final polish and coating the windshield in Future.

Hi,
Just a quick intro and a big thank you to all those who contribute to this forum. Truly a great resource!
I just started building scale autos after taking a few years off from the hobby. I used to build mainly military (armor, figures, etc.) and HO railroad. I'm a huge car guy so I figured this time around I would venture in to car models. Lots of new techniques to master, not the least of which is avoiding dust in your finish! I have started my collection with a pair of Hertz Mustangs, both destined for my office once complete. The '06 is below and almost ready (once I clear the dust that is) the '66 is in the wings.
I've attached a few pics. The half track is from about 12 years ago.
Thanks again for all the great write-ups and advice!

Thanks for the comments! Glad you all like it so far. Should be wrapping up soon.
Don, this kit has given me trouble at every turn too.
