1994 Corvette (AMT 1/25th scale)

[bh1701]

Here is my latest build - a 1994 Corvette!

Exterior is Tamiya's Mica Red.

Corvette logos for the hood and rear were printed from images I found and were glued on.

The recessed Corvette lettering was done using Tamiya's Black Panel Line Accent Color.

Dash gauges are from BestModelCarParts.

This is actually a bit of a Franken-Vette. In the mid 90's, I built a model of my brother's Corvette. I had to get 3 kits in order to get the right seats, engine, and wheels for it. That meant I had enough parts left over to build 2 more models. I finally got around to putting one of these together - not sure all of the parts are necessarily from the same kit. I picked and chose what I liked best from all the parts I had!

Thanks for checking this out!

Really nice looking '94 Bart.   I'll bet you spent a lot of time on that dash.  Great job 👍

Thanks, Mike!

The dash was actually pretty easy. I bought the dash gauges and displays from BestModelCarParts on eBay. Makes it real easy! For a couple of bucks, it is well worth it. He also sells gauges for quite a variety of other cars. I often check out his offerings before I try to find images and print my own. The ones I print myself are nowhere as clear as his are.

Great looking parts mix on the body and the paint finish looks good.

Absolute beauty! Your attention to detail is impressive, especially the way you got each and every button and screen just right on the dash.

The details on the dash are actually pretty easy. Scroll up in the post and you'll see the printed images I purchased to use for the dash details.
