Sometimes when you get a new kit you are just so excited that you have to tear into it. This was the case with this recently aquired 2022 C8 Corvette. As a matter of facrt the kit was so nice IO just had to finish it as well. Color is Model Master laquer Fathom green metallic. this color was so dark and there was almost no hint of green. Afew coats of Mr Color #138 clear green with a few drops of gold cured that. Topped it off with Mr Color GX100 clear. Interior was a combination of Tamiya LP73 Khaki and LP55 Dark yellow. I found an old bottle of Testors flat green that I liked for the accents. More build comments in the picture captions. Thanks for looking and feel free to comment. Revell did such a nice job on the engine and everything fit well. Too bad most of it is hidden under the bodywork when completed. So this picture was a must. Interior on this kit was very well detailed. I added some seat belts and dark brown Tamiya accents. Decals were a nice addition. Getting the rear deck to open properly took some trimming of the panels and the hinge pivot. Otherwise the rear deck was a nice fit. Lots of wonderful detail on the back end too. Here's a pic with the top in ( I prefer it out) Wheels fit on this kit nicely and are not likely to fall off in the future. They are sprayed AK Stainless steel. In retrospect I think I would like to see the front lowered just a tad. I was in such a hurry to get this done I failed to do a proper mock-up. Still its not all that bad. Wheels steer quite nicely so there was one thing I didn't have to bother with. Overall I really liked this kit and construction was completed with only the usual problems associated with Revell.
