2012 Corvette C5 ZR1 - Revell #07189 / Two of them

Originally I bought this glue bomb as a spare parts car for my blue ZR1 with the broken rear window. So the plan. Then I had to built a torch red C7. I don't know whether you know, that there is a pre painted C7 avaliable in Germany. My quastion was, how close is the red paint by Revell to "torch red" by GM. So that was it to figure out. I needed a paint casualty. Why not that kit? The rims were missing and it was partly done, the paint was ripped of. I thought it is a good base to test the "torch red" for a comparison. So I did.

After paintig it it was clear to see, that the "torch red" is a lot of stronger. Nice. The ZR1 came out very well. That was on one Hand bad, because it would has been a shame to put the rest of the kit in a spare box but on the other Hand, my blue ZR1 will have the broken window further on. And I was still Need some rims for this red ZR1. Nevertheless, I built it up. Got the paint and glue of the Windows, polished them and got it a shiny paint Job.

The Question About the rims: they are from Revells Porsche Panamera. The fit awesome into the Wheel houses. The rest is out of the box. The head light covers are tinted and that's it.

 

 

 

Here it is with my blue ZR1. It was built in 2013.

 

And some Pictures of it alone. Straight out of the box. The rear window cracked after trying to bend it in shap that it fits.

Very nice looking models, and as much as I like a red car, that blue looks VERY cool on that body!

Thank you very much for your Kind words.

I don't know, which Color I like more. Red is classic for a Corvette but on the ZR1 I think it should be that Kind of blue.
