redzed Posted January 8, 2024 Posted January 8, 2024 (edited) is rather a simple kit mainly because the suspension & exhaust are molded into the chassis and interior is all one piece, i don't care for that so i'm building my second kit completely stock. tires & wheels from parts box , exhaust from ebay. thanks for looking. Edited January 8, 2024 by redzed i forgot
IanH Posted January 8, 2024 Posted January 8, 2024 Brilliant job you're doing with that, looks the part!
Bainford Posted January 8, 2024 Posted January 8, 2024 That's going to be a good looking Vette. I've been thinking of combining one of these AMT split-windows with the chassis from the Revell '67 for a bit more detail. Having said that, I don't necessarily dislike the one piece chassis, as it allows one to get a great looking model on the shelf without getting mired in the weeds of detail.
shoeman Posted January 8, 2024 Posted January 8, 2024 Nice. I'm building the same kit in the same style right now...go figure. My "floor pan" was twisted out of the box and needed a heat gun to straighten so both front wheels touched the ground. Glass needed much trimming too at the vent windows. Is yours that way? And where'd you get the AP decals? They look great. I'm going to hand paint mine if I have to but it's gonna look less then good given my skills and shaky hand. Your paint looks great. Love the color.
redzed Posted January 9, 2024 Author Posted January 9, 2024 (edited) yes the vent windows needed trimming and i bought decals online a few years back as i needed A/G .A/GS ect. for some gassers i was building but forgot where i got them. i'll do a search for them. gofer decals ,hobbylink, model car round up Edited January 9, 2024 by redzed just searched 1
ZTony8 Posted January 14, 2024 Posted January 14, 2024 If you want to go with enamel paint, Testor #1203 red is the same shade.

I don't know if they still make them or not but if you're able to find them if you go to a good graphics supply store that deals in graphic supplies you can rub these on to a surface and spray a clear coat over it or leave the clear coat off of it they are not a decal they're used in the graphic industry with many different style of letterhead. I like what you did with the Corvette you did a very nice job in detail.
Allan31 Posted February 19, 2024 Posted February 19, 2024 Just found this, great build. I did almost the same years ago.
