I have got to try that eraser thing. thanks for the tip. joe.

I make sure that i use a paint that has the opposite base meaning acrylic on enamel/lacquer or enamel over acrylic. then i do my best dry brush or wet brush technique followed by a clean brush with the appropriate thinner to clean up and make the lines sharper. Using a little alcohol over lacquer to clean up the acrylic paint won't hurt the lacquer in the same way using a little turp to clean up over acrylic. joe.

Very very nice. What color?

I so wish that kit was of an RS. Nice build, great finish. joe.

I think that gives an accurate description of the modeling goddess' sense of humor! Don't make her mad! It can get far worse! Joe.

Are you saying those Monogram boxings are the '59 version of the '58 ProModeler????? joe.

Looks like my '72 except it was a Targa. Same color too!! Cried when i sold that one. joe.

Thanks David I like the look. I will look for the photos. joe.

An inspiration to dig mine out of the stash and build it. I hope it comes out as well!! joe.

Mauricio, Perfetto! joe.

It may be genetic. Perhaps it is our caveman reaction to hoarding a perceived scarcity like food. Only more important in this case....styrene!

I am planning on using Boyd's Purple Pearl. Joe.

Anne, they are hard to find and pricey for unstarted ones. This was painted but nothing glued together. So a lot of paint stripping later i had my '58! joe.

Ace, yes that is my kit. Great one, too! I looked over the pieces you mentioned and i canfollow what you mean. Thanks so much. Joe.

To anyone who built this model, how did ypu lower the ride height???? thanks, Joe.

So why did the new 'vette get stuck with the old crappy taillights????

It was the Oct 2011 issue. They used the AMT 70 454 kir. Joe.

Nice build. Was the lavender interior your creation or did the real Tweedy Pie have it too? The instructions say white, i think. joe.

Thank you for the explanation. That makes sense. I have a '58 on the bench now and will soon start the '67 (also in yellow/black) and wanted to do them right. joe.

I was also hoping for them to repop their 1/16 dragster/funny car kits.

i was thinking Aston Martin!!

I have the Roth Outlaw and Tweedy Pie and I would give anything if they came out as well as yours. Congratulations! joe.

It is looking fine. Corvette plug wires are always an issue to me. Do they show or don't they? Many of the reference photos showing the installed engine when viewed from the top you cannot see the wires when the shield is in place. Some pix do show them.. What is the scoop???? thanks, joe.

Could use a correct '72 442 and W30 with some extra sprues to the 72 Hurst model. joe.

Most awesome engines, everyyone! I have so very far to go..... Joe.
