67 Corvette coupe

[Limeyglue]

Here is my wip of the revell 67 Corvette i scored off evilbay. I was going to use the body for another project but when i opened the box i decided to build it. I am building it box stock except for the wheels which are from the revell 32 ford kit but dechromed. iI have finished the chassis and interior and are now on to painting the body.

Thanks for looking Lee

That’s looking real nice!??

Aaahhh! One of Revell's nicer kits! I'll be watching this one!

Too bad that Revell didn't do other 1/12's like this one. A '63 split window would have been nice........it would have been something if they got adventurous and made a 1/12 '57 T-Bird.

Keep up the VERY nice work!

I am confused, the box says 1/25 scale but if each of the squares on the grid is 1 inch then it’s a 15 inch model. What scale is that?

[MrObsessive]

OK, I must be losing my mind!

I thought this was the 1/12 car as the box art looks almost exactly like the car on that box. But indeed it's 1/25 and one giveaway is that the 1/12 kit body has a curious dip in the windshield header which this doesn't.

In answer to your question Dominick.............ROG's boxes are always a bit bigger than ours here in the US and you have to remember they're dealing with metric as opposed to our standard measurement.

Very nice so far. Are the seats painted silver or with foil?

[Limeyglue]

Thanks for the great comments guys. Micheal the seats are painted with a Molotow chrome pen.

Cheers Lee

Looks great, and those wheels and tires are perfect! Still not tired of seeing those 2nd gen Vettes!

[Ace-Garageguy]

Looking great so far. I didn't even know that kit existed. Thanks for the heads-up, too.

Thanks guys yes Bill its quite an old kit it says 1997 on the decal sheet! I have now painted the body in Tamiya titanium gold over silver and put on the decals next foiling the widow mouldings and a couple of coats of clear.

"Quite an old kit"? That's a NEW kit to me! 

I'm working on several 1967 Corvette models that were made in...1967! 

[Ron Hamilton]

Very nice. I really love those cars.

[Deathgoblin]

Looking great!    The interior looks awesome.
