Stumbled across this post while searching for Corvette kits and just thought it deserved to be brought back into view. I know it’s a very large scale kit but the execution and commitment to detail is deserving of a re-viewing.

Didn’t expect to find the banana police here too. Lol.

Thanks for the advice. I guess I’d have to take the pictures earlier in the day since these were taken on my deck with my iphone and natural light. I would like to learn how to use indoor lighting with filters and an actual camera with the proper lenses someday.

This is mine. I don’t know if it qualifies as my daily but since my wife uses the Volvo and my daughter uses the Equinox I guess it is. I work from home and go into the office one day a week so I’ll use one of the SUVs if it’s bad weather otherwise this is it.

Absolutely but its alot cheaper and easier to use compared to purchasing Photoshop and learning how to use it. Plus my kids got a kick out of it.

Check out this shot ChatGPT created of my Challenger with my Revell Hemi Cuda model. This is my actual car. Wild.

Had it in the shop making sure it’s good before taking it out for a run.

That came out great. Well worth the wait.

Well done. The extra touches you added really set it off. Very realistic.

Thanks for all the nice comments.

Sweet build. Nice and clean. Beautiful paint.

SHAZAM!

Cool build. I’d say you nailed it.

Finished up my build of the Revell 71 Hemi Cuda. Built pretty much out of box except for the antenna. Hood pin straps, and headlight trim rings to close of the big gap between the headlights. Also added a transmission tunnel since it was missing. Just glued a piece of styrene and smoothed with putty. I molded in the joint lines for the lower front fenders and removed the cartoonish stalks on the fog lights. Also removed the front license plate bracket. I dowloaded and printed a set of steelies and Goodyear Polyglas GT tires and wheels for $3.50. Color is Dupli-Color BGM0533. It’s a GM color but I felt it mached B5 closest. I test shot Dupli-Color BCC0422 which is a Chrysler color that supposedly matches B5 but it was too dark. Also tried Tamiya TS-19 but that was also too dark. Cleared with Dupli-Color 1K Clear. Polished with Hasegawa Ceramic Compound then Coating Polymer. Chrome is Alclad Polished Aluminum. Hope you like it.

Thank you. Much appreciated.

Thank you.

Sharp looking TA. Looks good with the screaming chicken. Is this 1/16 scale? Looks bigger than 1/24.

That came out great John. You really did that kit justice.

Very true. Nothing but support and encouragement here. I’m my own worst critic. As for my next build. Hint: It’s named after a fish and powered by an elephant.

Mostly as they say “ the error was between the seat and the keyboard “. The kit is very nice. I just kept screwing things up. One thing I’ll do if I try another one is to glue the nose to the body before I paint it. Other than that just bleed through on my masking.

Yep. While it didn’t turn out horribly it’s not what I was trying to achieve. I guess that’s what happens when you’re inspired by some of the incredible builds on this site.

Thank you Bill.

Thanks guys. Appreciate it.

Thank you

Thanks guys. Looks better on my phone than it did on my laptop. Appreciate the compliments.
