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.
