Revell 1959 Corvette factory built hobby shop display-restoration
happy grumpy replied to rsmodels's topic in Model Cars
Cool corvette. Nice to see old kits brought back into the light. ? -
Nice lowrider caddy, I like the black.

Nice and shinny. Great decal work too.

Truly awesome and the color fits so nice. Finish is flawless, a show stopper for sure. Great job.

I usually do an image search on google say, quebec license plates, then I copy the picure on an excel spread sheet , resize the picture to 1/25 or 1/24,then print on photo paper, cut out and glue it with either mod podge or micro krystal clear or even white glue. Thru trial and error I made templates for both 1/25 and 1/24 an all I have to do is to resize the pictures to fit the grid on the template. I have plates from the early 1910's to present. I have plates to last me a long time. I have some from the states , ontario and different other places. I even took a picture of my own car and put on the model I made of it. hope this helps.

Like others have said, a super job on an iconic car from a super nice kit. I have this kit and after seeing yours, I hope it will come out ok. You raised the bar really high. If I may ask. How does it fit together ? any issues ?

Awesome and gorgeous. I like the color and this reminds me of Bullitt. Great job

Beautiful model and color. I am a little jealous , you have many kits that I would love to have, mainly all those four door from the sixties and seventies. Nice of you to share with the rest of us. At least I can look at them and wish. The holy grail for me would be to find a 61 plymouth. My father had one and it's the main missing piece in my collection.

Built stock. a really good kit that builds easy. I did not put the top decals , they were damaged in the box. I put the ones at the bottom since they were fine. In hindsight , I should have paint them but I like the way it came out. Paint is Tamiya TS 49 bright red. As always, thanks for looking .

Another great save to add to your portfolio. Always good to see those old kit brought back to glory.

A beautifully detailed Dart. The outside shot really brings the color to life. A wolf in sheep's clothing.

Great looking IH. I agree this is a really nice kit . If I had the space I would built several.I built 2, one ERTL transtar II and the new from AMT which I will post eventually. Beautiful color and photo set up.

Beautiful weathering and daily used look. It looks just as I remember seeing these back in the day up here in the north. -
?e build, the photos makes it so real.

Beautiful model and a heartwarming backstory. ?

Nice and clean build. Like the color and engine bay details.

That's one sweet looking 62 David, I like everything about it. The convertible allows to bring the interior details to be fully appreciated. Great job and beautiful color combo.
