Revell 2022 Corvette Stingray Z51 assembly question

[Albert Moore]

Question for those that have built the new Revell 2022 Corvette Stingray- can the rear fascia be attached to the body before priming and painting, and the chassis/underbody still be fitted into place afterwards? The instructions show the fascia being attached after the chassis, but I'd like to attach it beforehand so I don't risk marring the paint around that join line afterwards.

 

Thanks in advance.

More than likely ...no.  However the fit of this panel is very good and the glue attachment points won't show if you are careful.  For painting purposes you can attach this with craft glue and remove it after painting.  It is a well engineered piece.  Here is a link to my build and there is a good photo of this area: 2022 C8 Corvette Z51 coupe - Model Cars - Model Cars Magazine Forum
