Hard_2_Handle_454 Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 This is the new Revell 427 Coupe. I really like the kit. It builds fairly easily. The decals are nice and I'd say it's very similar to the roadster kit. There are a few differences and things that I don't like though. I don't like how they did the pipes and I think the exhaust outlets look a little large for the car. I also had some fit issues I didn't have with the roadster. The hood is glued shut because of one of them The back corner would not stay down. It sucks because I did a really nice job on the engine bay. Still, the kit makes a nice looking model.

TNT Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Looks great. Sorry for the problems. Are the redlines included? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Like the red with the black stinger. The red line tires look right for the time period. The trim looks cleanly done, too bad about the hood issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, only problem with that is they put other decals inside the red line decals. It was a pain getting the decals off. Thought I lost one of the cap emblems when putting on those and the red lines.

The kit is nice, but not without a few issues, the hood issue being the most significant. Nice job pulling yours together! Love the color choice! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't seeking to hi-jack your thread, just shared the images to illustrate the hood issue you described. I had the same problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy grumpy Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Beautiful vette. thanks for sharing your thoughts on the kit. I have one in the stash I haven't decided yet on the color. Yours turned out really great. The hood issue is not uncommon , I had some builds that the hood did not close properly. Great job on the photography as well.
