StanGlover Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 Here’s my build of Monogram’s snap kit 1982 Corvette, from the recent Ollie’s Special release. It’s a quick slump buster of a kit that goes together nicely although it’s not super detailed. I airbrushed it in Tamiya X-5 green with XF-93 light brown for the interior. This was my first acrylic airbrushed body in a couple of years (been using Tamiya spray lacquer for some time for bodies since I get way better results), so it’s not my best work but looks ok. I think I’m not thinning out the paint enough so there are a few orange-peel spots. The green is not factory for ‘82 and the windshield trim should be black, but I think the green over tan and silver trim gives it a nice luxury look. Late C3’s are oddly my favorite Corvettes style-wise although I know they were lacking in the performance department. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
