Mancuso Greenwood Corvette  - Watkins Glen 1977


Recommended Posts

This is a 1/43rd resin kit by Starter from the early 90's. 

The body casting was pretty clean compared to the other variants of this casting I have.  (Must have been a low mileage mold.)  But it had an inordinate amount of holes that needed to be filled.   I'll take that issue over a crusty worn out mold that can really mess up details.  At this point the brass parts have been attached and the stance has been adjusted.  It's ready for primer.

The decals respond well to a hairdryer and decal solvent.  They are not brittle but they are thin.  I had to cut the front fenders and rear end decals into multiple pieces to deal with the contours.  It took a good 2 and a half hours to apply these 6 decals.
