63 Corvette Coupe -- Revell, 1/25

[Matt Bacon]

No WIP for this one -- a very quick build to try and relight my modelling fire. It's the Revell Snap-tite kit, so pretty simplified, but thanks to @Snake45, I believe it's the best-shaped C2 Coupe around. Looks good to me, anyway!

Paint is Tamiya rattle can black and clear, polished with Novus. Interior mostly Citadel (Games Workshop) red acrylics. All chrome stripped and redone with Molotow. Oddly, unlike other revell Snap-tite kits I've had, this one didn't include regular decals alongside the peel-n-stick emblems, so they've been trimmed back to get rid of excess clear film, and actually don't look so bad, IMHO.

best,

M.

Their '67 full-detail coupe is just as good, and the '63 snapper roadster is also good. Their '67 roadster has problems, though. 

You did a great job with it--looks fantastic! Well done and model on!

You did a nice job with this snapper of my favorite car.  I am building the same kit for the same reasons you did.  Revell did a really nice job with this kit.

Great looking paint work. Good clean build and I like the different photography angles.

Good job on this one! I'm regularly annoyed by those self-adhesive stickers in Snap kits too, but you found an acceptable solution to the problem. About the Molotov, did you seal those parts with Alclad Aqua Gloss or anything else?

Great 63. Love the C7. What paint did you use for the blue on the C7?
