MotorMax 2020 Corvette My Take

[THarrison351]

A few have posted their updates on the MotorMax 2020 Corvette. Here's my version. I too painted the wheels, not exactly prototypically. I also touched up a few areas of black trim that were not complete and painted the engine as I saw fit. Oh yeah, scuffed the tires too!

So with this C8, I want to create a nice little Corvette display for each generation plus anniversary editions if possible. I have a 1963 C2, and a 1968 C3. I also have the 1993 40th Anniversary Corvette to cover the C4. I hope to get a Franklin Mint 2003 50th Anniversary Corvette for the C5. Franklin Mint makes nice C6s, I just have to find one for cheap. I have last year's MotorMax C7 2019 ZR-1. For the missing C1, I would like to have a Danbury Mint 1953 Corvette, but I do have a Revellogram model I could build if I have to. I just won a Franklin Mint 1978 Silver Anniversary Corvette, I know I have a C3, but that was before I decided to do this Corvette thing with the Anniversary cars.

Thanks for looking and Happy Turkey Day!

Good job! I see you sanded the tire treads, too, which always helps. 

On the yellow one I saw at Walmart yesterday, the black trim was poorly done, even on the side scoops. I think all I had to do on mine was touch up the edges of the grille. Or maybe I took the shiny plastic grille out and painted it matte black, I don't remember now. 

I did the front side marker lights in amber, and painted just the rims of the wheels with Silver Sharpie for a completely different look. I have to get some pics of it up sometime soon.

I just love it with silver, rather than black rims... This car looks awesome that way....The engine looks great, too... I might have to try my hand at that, myself...Nice work...
