JJ Deuce Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 (edited) Just wrapped this one up. I realize it's an old tool, and I bought a vintage issue of the kit, but what a learning experience. I wanted an easy build for the shelf, but it fought me all the way. It's not my best work, but I'm glad to have it done. of course, once I finished it, I found this '62 hardtop loose in another kit. I don't have the glass but I can scratch some up out of clear sheet. I really like these cars with the hardtop on.

happy grumpy Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 With patience and skill, old kit can build into very nice model as you demonstrated with this one. Although old, I'm glad we can still have these to build. Personally I like the ability to build models that I did when I was young. Great job on the vette 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Great looking color combination and I like the '60's wheels. Clean building techniques like this offset the basic kits short comings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was surprised to see another Corvette with gold coves like the built up one I restified a few years ago. Nice job JJ! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I painted the whole car gold before I painted the Tamiya Candy Lime because I wasn’t sure how well the green would cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenmojr Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 60 Corvettes do look more cool with the hard top on, but they are way more fun to drive with the top off. Also the visibility is so much better, especially since most of these C1s only have a driver's side mirror. I know from experience because I presently own a real life 1960 which is winter hibernating in my garage during a Nova Scotia winter. I've owned it since 1983. Nice work on the AMT C1. I have a couple of MPC 1960s to build as well as a few of those Revell multi body pieced 1960s and two 1962 AMTs to build. Great thread.

David G. Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 Great job on this one! The color reminds me of the green that was used on some of the vintage How Wheels cars. David G. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
