1993 AMT Corvette ZR-1

[Spottedlaurel]

Curbside build after I robbed the engine to go into a '67 Impala. Rather than put the box back on the shelf I thought I may as well chuck the rest together, as it seemed to assemble nicely and I need to reduce my unbuilt inventory.

WIP thread here:

Colour is Ford Caymen Blue by Halfords, a 1990s colour used on European cars, with their clearcoat. Wheels are Rays Volk C-Europe by Aoshima with staggered Fujimi tyres, Brembo brake discs by Fujimi at the front and Tamiya Nissan Silvia front discs on the rear. Now I see that preview image above I can see I got the calipers in wrong place!

Thanks for looking.

Very nice and clean build ?

Looks great and the stance is spot-on!! About 100 times better than the box art, in fact it has me kind of seriously considering picking up one or two now, as the box art had me scared off, lol.

Thank you Craig. I don't think the version I had was too bad, although it looks to have been heavily retouched, but there's one with a red car that looks terrible.

Thanks everyone for the kind words. Certainly went together nicely and worked out well for a quick, enjoyable build.

That really did build up nice, agree with others that the box art does not do justice to the kit, but you show how it can be a great display piece!
