1967 Corvette 427 convertible

[Rich Chernosky]

This is the second of my 13 1/24 Corvette builds.  Monograms 67 427 Corvette convertible.  Coklor on thisone is a Pearlescent ink called Liqui Acrylic sky blue. Clearcoated with a latex clear around 2012.  Interior is a custom mix of Tamiya  LP13 IJN gray and LP81 Mixing blue. Nice kit with some good detail.  The usual problems with an early kit but it all turned out good in the end. More details in the picture captions. Thanks for looking.

Real good interior detail and I like the way it turned out.  Engraving on the dash was good enough to paint. Used a hi shine silver then Tamiya black wash to highlight the details. 

Engine also had some good detail and i added some ignition wires. That big tri power 427 looks like it belongs in there.

The wheels steer through the stock tie rod. Along the way  I was able to lower the front slightly and that was just the trick to give this a nice stance. Side pipes attached easily after some careful planning. 

Rear end also had some great detail . Emblems were nice and sharp and lent themselves to my bare metal foil trick.

Kit came with this soft top. Personally I like it with the top down.  Tire decal on the front will have to be fixed..no biggie.  This was the last year for the body style Corvette. It was best known for its 427/435hp engine  option.  That engine was a beast in this car. Got a ride in one and can attest to that.  Thanks for looking and comments welcome.

Thank you David.  I do like a matching interior. I have a large selection of flats and semi's so its fairly easy to come up with a good combo.

Those pearlescent inks are still available at Hobby Lobby in their art section. Best sprayed over a dark color base. Use Tamiya X20 thinner and practise.
