James2 Posted September 18, 2019 Posted September 18, 2019 (edited) OK finally here it is, The 63 GS Corvette driven by AJ Foyt at Sebring. He had to start in the back of the pack and passed 50 cars on the first lap. After wearing the brakes out he later faded due to multiple pit stops. This model is a representation of that majestic car. I believe I started with the Revell kit on this one and quickly realized what a tough job this was going to be. I used a combination of Tamiya, Model Master and Model Car World paint. The decals are Vintage Racing Miniatures and after learning my lesson with the black BMF, I opted for a sharpie for the window trim. My skills have diminished in the past few years, mainly due to not much extended time at the bench and eyesight. But I am pleased at the out come and happy to share this with you. Thanks for looking... Edited September 18, 2019 by James2
Miatatom Posted September 18, 2019 Posted September 18, 2019 Your skills have diminished? It looks great to me. I wish I could do that well.
SfanGoch Posted September 19, 2019 Posted September 19, 2019 Looks great. The Revell kit is just a repackaged AM kit. From what I understand, Revell purchased all of the remaining AM Grand Sports when the company folded.
tbill Posted September 19, 2019 Posted September 19, 2019 That turned out marvelous, I read your whole build thread the other day, well done!
TooOld Posted September 19, 2019 Posted September 19, 2019 Grand looking Grand Sport , job well done ! And yes black BMF is the worst .
Dann Tier Posted September 20, 2019 Posted September 20, 2019 Yep, i was right again -turned out BEAUTIFUL!!!!
Justin Porter Posted September 20, 2019 Posted September 20, 2019 Looks beautiful to me. It's not the easiest kit to build cleanly but the results clearly can be fantastic.
ibj40 Posted September 20, 2019 Posted September 20, 2019 Nice job! These were available in high-end 1/18 scale diecast from Exoto, and your detailing meets or exceeds their specifications.
Rich Chernosky Posted September 20, 2019 Posted September 20, 2019 Beautiful job on a tough to build kit.. Excellent....like the body color.
