videocast Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Picked up this easy snap tite kit by revell at a local flea market. of course I had to paint it, but it was good practice for me and the interior is the best one I've done so far. Still have lots to go, but I don't think I am going to try to build show quality cars. I just want to build near show quality. so if I muck it up I really wont worry too much about it.

Kustomm Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Looks good, me being a 1963 Corvette fan and all. color replicates the stock silver blue, no clear still looks fine. and great dash! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake45 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Those Revell snapper '63 Vettes are nice. I've done four of them now, so I guess they're kind of addictive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gramps46 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Very nice build. The 63 is one of my favorites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FabbricaP Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Coming along nicely. What color did you use for the body? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
videocast Posted August 31, 2018 Author Share Posted August 31, 2018 thanks for all the nice comments. I also just realized I forgot to put the steering wheel on. so Im in the right forum. I almost went in to under glass. lol. the body paint is model master Pontiac engine blue. I thought it looked great as a body color. almost like one of the factory colors I saw when researching that years factory color availability.

It's a great color for all sorts of '60s light metallic blues. I did a '69 Camaro in it years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixties Sam Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Looks good in that color! Those Snap-Tites make nice models with a little work! I built that 63 'Vette kit too. Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Obvious Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 That shade of blue works so well on the 'Vette! That is a fun kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertw Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Those Revell 63 Corvette snap kits are just about the best kits available of that year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, they're among the very best C2 kits in 1/24-1/25 by anyone, ever (in body shape/accuracy). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
videocast Posted September 2, 2018 Author Share Posted September 2, 2018 It was a lot of fun to put together and didn't take forever. I put the steering wheel in and put some bmf on the door handles. now Im calling it done. I agree with the crowd that the paint color is one of the best choices for that model. appreciate the positive comments and glad I joined this group. THANKS !!!
