radiohd10 Posted June 14, 2022 Posted June 14, 2022 Just finished the ‘65 Corvette by Revell (I did a quick WIP thread to show some of the upgrades and paint process). This kit had a very low part count and lacked quite a bit in the detail department, so I made some changes/additions. Scratch built a few bits like the tail lights and interior detail, and hit the parts box for things like the side mirrors, door handles, tires, and engine bits. Also used a photo etch set from model car garage for the emblems, steering wheel, etc. The only fitment issue was with the radiator, and the wheels/ride height, otherwise it was a piece of cake. It’s my first proper corvette and I can’t wait to do another ?? 4
espo Posted June 14, 2022 Posted June 14, 2022 Very cleanly detailed interior and engine. Great looking paint and interior combination.
happy grumpy Posted June 14, 2022 Posted June 14, 2022 Wow, I really like your builds and they way you photograph them. Perfect paint job. ??
70 Sting Posted June 14, 2022 Posted June 14, 2022 When I saw the first photo I thought it was an actual car you were using as reference. ?
ea0863 Posted June 14, 2022 Posted June 14, 2022 Just beautiful, and I love that deep lustrous paint!
bh1701 Posted June 14, 2022 Posted June 14, 2022 Very nicely done! Thought the interior came out really well. Bart

I was experimenting with tamiya cans and it worked out well. Gonna try it again on a future build with clear blue instead of clear red ??

Ulbo Posted June 16, 2022 Posted June 16, 2022 Outstanding Job - lot of details, paint job, photography, exhausts, engine bay, dashboard...? 1
TonyW Posted June 17, 2022 Posted June 17, 2022 Killer paintjob. Black shows up every flaw. You nailed it. 1

Thanks dude - it’s tough to tell in the pics (and I should have mentioned it up top) but this was actually a black cherry red color and it was even more brutal than a usual black paint job. It shows eeeeeeeverything. It picks up fingerprints just by someone looking at it lol
