This is the 9th in my series of Corvette builds. An AMT/Ertl 1/25 Corvette that was painted in June of 2009. Color is a 50/50 mix of Testors #2908 Managanese brown metallic and Model Master Kiln Red metallic. Some Candy Strawberry was added to the clearcoat. Not a bad kit as far as detail goes but there were some fit issues especially with the body and chassis. More detail in the picture captions. Finished model. Note the steering wheels. This was easily achieved as the spindles alreqady turned and it was just a matter of hooking up the tie rod. Lots of nice body trim sets this car off. rear end also had some nice detail. I substituted some chrome tubing for the exhaust tips. Nice interior is sprayed a mix of Pactra dark chocolate brown and flat black. Kit cam with this optional hard top that didn't fit as good as it could. I really don't like it and the car will be displayed without it. Getting the body down over the front wheels required much grinding on the chassis and some on the body. It was not very well engineered in this respect. I darkened some of the chrome with Tamiya black liner. I mad scrrens for the headlights. The clear lenses with the pattern in them was not going to cut it. Thanks for looking and comments welcome.
