Nicely done. How is that kit?

Kit was a good one to build. Tweaked the wheels a bit for a more realistic stance.

Thanks everyone! My '69 and '70 together.

C3/"Shark" Vettes are addictive, aren't they? I've built I think four, and have two more in the pipeline even as we speak!

Great clean build! The color is excellent!

[NYLIBUD]

Beautiful!!

[bbowser]

Outstanding model, great color!

[ismaelg]

WOW! That 's  a GREAT looking  '70!   My favorite of them all!

[Bucky]

A couple of real beauties! I like the Nassau Blue, as well. It's just a Vette color, sure enuff! Two members of our local car club have blue Vettes.

Thanks everyone!

Thanks again everyone for the great comments.

Very well done as usual. Wasn't sure if I was interested in this kit as I have the Revell 1968 Roadster 2 in 1, but your build just inspired me to put it on my kits to get list. 

[slusher]

Excellent model!

[Rider]

Another stunning Vet build, hats off to you on this one too.

Sorry to drag up an old thread, but may I ask what colour primer you used under the blue? The final result looks close enough to make for a passable LeMans blue for a '69 Camaro. I live outside of the US and MCW don't post international, so this might be my best option to get a close match to LeMans blue.

The Corvette looks stunning, by the way.

Very nice. I see your builds on FB all the time. Like I said there, you have a very clean building style.

Gorgeous Vette!

Thanks. I used Tamiya white primer.

[MrBrightside]

Thanks Randy. I've seen other people use the same colour and have it come out looking lighter,so I assumed you may have used a darker primer. White it is then! Cheers

Looks like a nice clean build.

My perception is that '69 LeMans Blue is a little deeper, a little "bluer" than '65 Nassau Blue. I've only used Model Master Nassau Blue on one model but mine seems to be a bit lighter than the nice Vette shown here. My  impression is that it was pretty opaque, so I don't know if primer color is going to make much difference. I shot mine over a medium gray. 

If you airbrush, Model Master Olds Engine Blue enamel might be closer to LeMans Blue. I see that they now have a "Metallic Blue" in that line (enamel bottles) but have never seen it in person so can't speak for it. They also have a "Blue Pearl" which they might have formerly called True Blue which might be in the ballpark, too. 

If you're looking for lacquer in a rattlecan (like the Nassau Blue), give a look to their GTS Pearl Blue, which I think might also do a good job as Lemans Blue. These "pearls" aren't really pearly, with a rainbow flip-flop element in them, they're just a very fine metallic. 

Nassau Blue might work for you, but if I were using it for LeMans Blue, I'd shoot it over black primer to see if that might darken/deepen it just a bit. (And I'm not promising that it would; as I said, it's pretty opaque.) 

Hope this helps, and good luck finding a color that's good for you.
