tbill Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Finally had some daylight time to take a few pics. Finished in Marlboro maroon and tan interior. I used the wheels from the AMT 70 impala, everything else was in the kit. Built up nice , highly recommended. It is the yenko version kit, this kit has a way more complete decal sheet than prior issues. thanks for looking. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'70 Grande Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Agreed... simply stunning! Your pics can so easily be mistaken for a 1:1! I've always thought this generation of Corvettes transformed quickly from a powerful muscle/sports car "look" into an elegant/sophisticated sports car "look" with the simple wheel swap you did with those '70 Impala wheel covers... outstanding work!

happy grumpy Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 The 69/70 model is IMO the best looking corvette of the stingray generation. Your model just confirms it. The photography is on par with the excellent craftsmanship of your model. This is a stunnig model you have there Tom. thanks for sharing it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classicgas Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Stunning. Wheels technically are not accurate for a 69, but they look great on this body style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbill Posted December 4, 2021 Author Share Posted December 4, 2021 Thank you all for the very kind comments, very much appreciated. as to the wheels/hub caps, I did some online research, and it seems that style hub cap was called a deluxe wheel cover and was available from 68-74, now, weather or not the info I found is accurate, I can’t say with certainty, but, the wheels in the impala kit were close enough for me, and let’s face it, probably most of the classic Chevrolets we build end up with rally wheels, and I wanted something different this time around ( not to mention detailing rally wheels is a pain , lol) . Here is a pic I found online of the wheel cover, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 I like the color combination and the paint finish looks great. Nicxe clean detail painting on the engine and chassis. With the white wall tires the hub caps you used look very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
