kelson Posted October 6, 2022 Posted October 6, 2022 Finished last weekend for a buildoff on a Facebook group that ended oct 1,some fit issues at the end that weren't there when i was test fitting.Paint is Tamiya white and the interior is Tamiya wood deck tan,i grabbed the soft top /hardtop from a junked 72'vette convertible. 2
Ace-Garageguy Posted October 6, 2022 Posted October 6, 2022 VERY nice. Man, every time I think I have every kit I could ever want, along comes a beautiful build like this, and I just have to have one. Thanks for the inspiration. 1
CabDriver Posted October 6, 2022 Posted October 6, 2022 Really beautiful build, nice work! Paint looks great! 1
roadhawg Posted October 6, 2022 Posted October 6, 2022 Beautiful build of my favorite year Corvette! It's hard to beat the color too, white and tan just looks right. The next time someone says MPC kits are junk, show them this! 2
XYHARRY Posted October 6, 2022 Posted October 6, 2022 Beautiful vette Curtis. Your detail work is very crisp. I've seen a few of these 3rd generation vette builds lately and will definitely be buying one asap. Again, gorgeous vette. Cheers, David. ?? 1
70 Sting Posted October 6, 2022 Posted October 6, 2022 Yeah Curtis… mock-ups have let me down more than once. ? That is a sweet looking Vette. Great job on the badging/script. Did you dry brush them? 1
espo Posted October 6, 2022 Posted October 6, 2022 Beautiful looking finish and I like the two top options. 1
AMT68 Posted October 7, 2022 Posted October 7, 2022 Great looking Vette and a less commonly seen year in a scale model. 1

Actually i applied BMF on the body scripts then primer,then a Q tip dipped in thinner,then lightly go over the scripts to remove the primer,then color coats and repeat with a Q tip dipped in thinner.Then i clearcoated over the whole body,hope this makes sense. 2

Ahh, I see. So as long as you trim the foil close enough to the scripts, the cut edges won’t show or will blend into the body. Very cool. Thanks for sharing ? 1
Len Woodruff Posted October 7, 2022 Posted October 7, 2022 Nice. Don't see a 73 in a model very often. I love Vette's. 1
TransAmMike Posted October 7, 2022 Posted October 7, 2022 Very nice Curtis. Owned a '73 coupe in my past, so I'm a '73 fan with the one year only soft front bumper in front an dchrome at back. I'm gonna takemthis opportunity too so askmif anyone who looks at this has the '73 Coupe kit. Great work on yours Curtis? 1
