Madhatter Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Hi guys As a side project to my Star Destroyer, I have been building Revell's C-7R after being inspired by Ismael's amazing machine. However, I didn't go down the yellow road, I went down the black road. Thankfully, I didn't have any issues getting my body to fit on or have any interference in the engine and the hood areas. I am painfully aware of the paint bleed at the rear and the other finish issues it has - I will try to fix that up soon. The rear wing is also slightly off which is of course something I fixed AFTER I took the photos. Opps. I took a couple of shots to show the interior before it went in as you don't get to see it all now Well, that's it. It was a fun little side project and I'm glad I did it. It looks like a Corvette and to me, that's what matters Thanks for looking Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intmd8r Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Love it! Black is my favourite colour (or lack of). Looks real mean that way. Didn’t even notice the “flaws “ until you pointed them out. Sometimes we’re our own biggest critics... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatW Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Superb Simon, just the right colour for such an aggressive car! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy124 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Hello Simon, great build! Looks awesome this way. Funny because I am intending to go for a non-livery finish myself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim N Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I really like this. I have one in the collection to make as a race car, but I may have to get another because yours is an outstanding representation of the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madhatter Posted January 24, 2019 Author Share Posted January 24, 2019 thanks very much guys! I'm very happy with how it came out. I realised that I forgot to add the exhaust tips to the sides, which has since been remedied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gramps46 Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 I like the black and the weathering on the exhaust pipes is excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ismaelg Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Hello Simon, First of all, thanks for you comment. I really appreciate it. That looks menacing! Love it in black! I can see it terrorizing the neighborhood at night. Great job on it. Actually, these cars look black when unpainted. One of my "someday" projects is to do either the Daytona or the Sebring test car. They look flat black due to been unpainted CF. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High praise indeed I do like that CF finish. I've found Tamiya Dark Iron to be a pretty close match to that colour and have painted a few things in it - it looks great and is quite universal. Cool picture BTW! Thanks Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
