Just a quick little weekend build. Turned this: SAM_0515.thumb.JPG.ae6cec9b0e84a116d6df2

That rear window and the headlight BMF was addressed, just didn't get another picture.

 

Thanks for looking!

Looking good.

It's interesting how they cast the 'multi-piece' body.

Yeah, definitely a bit fiddly getting the body together for finishing and painting. The dash mounts to the sides via a couple of slots, and there is a very narrow ridge the side panels sit on below the hip line. Pop in the dash to make it more study, tape off the interior, clean up the seams, and it comes out pretty solid. Best thing about that is the lack of mold lines overall on the body. Cleanup was quick and easy. 
Observation, the minor window pillars for the vent/ and rear quarter are out of scale and don't join the body at the roof line correctly. I'm thinking of getting a couple of these to customize, if the price is right, and will correct that in any other versions.

Thanks for the comments!

that is a great job on an unusual scale subject, my eye has a problem with several aspects of this kit that have caused me to put off building this kit for others in this scale until I feel like dealing with the too flat frontal area and the seemingly too short trunk (or roof may be too long, haven't felt like pinning it down yet).

if you feel like adding an engine, there are 1/32 scale stock car snaps that have separate-ish engines.

there are also testors IMSA corvette kits that have a very detailed V8 drive train that can be used.
