smellyfatdude Posted September 27, 2020 Posted September 27, 2020 That's a $20,000 paint job, in 1/25 scale. Simply gorgeous!
Peter Lombardo Posted September 27, 2020 Posted September 27, 2020 Great looking car, the paint is lovely.

Thanks, when I see builds with this level of finish quality, I always wonder what quality materials the builder started with, but knowing full well that it takes skill to put them to use. You’ve got great finishing skill and talent, that’s apparent. I’ve seen great results from Zero Paints, I may have to check them out more.
TimJ Posted October 1, 2020 Posted October 1, 2020 That's some of the shiniest paint I've ever seen, great job!
Tommy124 Posted October 2, 2020 Posted October 2, 2020 Hi Anders, you did a great job in every department! The luggage rack always looks good on a C3 vonvertible... A real "Black Beauty"!
Modlbldr Posted October 2, 2020 Posted October 2, 2020 Nice looking build. I like the black paint job. It shows off the curves very well. Later-
Plastheniker Posted October 3, 2020 Posted October 3, 2020 Another flawless beauty from your working bench, incredible paintwork!

mrmike Posted October 7, 2020 Posted October 7, 2020 (edited) WOW! Nice build Anders! I have the same kit and a friend from my model club gave me an AMT 454 Corvette hood that I have extended about 1/8 inch to make it fit better. I never cared for the huge cowl hood that Chevrolet had on these 'Vettes. Edited October 7, 2020 by mrmike
ATHU Posted October 11, 2020 Author Posted October 11, 2020 Thanks Michael!! The low profile hood is part of the Revell 69 Corvette Yenko kit too.
mrmike Posted October 11, 2020 Posted October 11, 2020 I have that kit as well. This AMT hood was given to me after a discussion with Barry Fadden of my model club. I got up and went to the bathroom and when I came back, the hood was sitting on the table and Barry said he didn't need it.
