Corvette vs Firebird

[Peter Lombardo]

My two most recent completions.  A 1991 Pontiac Firebird Formula that I picked up for $5.00 and a 2001 Corvette Z06 that has been on the shelf for a long time.

The Firebird got wheel well flares and a front air dam and the hood bulge was raised.  Doors were opened and hinged as was the rear hatch.  Wheels are Aoshima 20-inch RTM.

Interior is Tamiya Dull Red, exterior is Krylon Color Maxx Gloss Classic Gray topped with clear mixed with pearl micro flakes.  The flams are a hybrid of airbrushed and brush painted Tamiya white, yellow, orange with some red highlights and some dark charcoal smoke.  All topped with clear

The Corvette is very similar with the same kind of body mods and opening doors and trunk.  Interior is black and white Tamiya paints.  The exterior is Krylon Color Maxx Satin Jade topped with clear mixed with Micro Blue and Green Micro Perl flakes.  The flames are also a hybrid airbrush and brush with Tamiya White, custom mixed light blue, and light pinkish purple with highlights of Violet India ink and then charcoal smoke, topped with clear.  Wheels are from a Corvette and the side pipe is aluminum tubing bent to fit.  The rear wing and supports are scratch built

I like them both, its unusual to see american cars done with a mix of hotrod and japanese style but it works really well on these

Great looking flame paint jobs. I like the mild body mods and the wheels.
