1994 Corvette ZR1

[Rich Chernosky]

Another Corvette off the assembly line. Only 3 to go now. Don't know when this was painted but it is more than likely 12yrs or more. Color is Liqui "acrylic pearlescent ink  called Volcano red. Krylon latex clear was used and a little red was added to darken the color slightly. Kit was fairly well detailed but there were some fit issues that were easily overcome. Build went quick. More details below.

Hood fit on this was great until the chassis was installed. Hood hinged on two tabs of the chassis. Some grinding on the hinge and re-adjustmnet of the front body were required to get this look. Making the wheels steer was not too much of a problem. Liked the tires. 

I lked the detail of the back. The glass fit well.

Overall stance of the model was good so no adjustment needed. Interior is semi-gloss back and I found a red for the seat insert that came close to the body color. 

There was a lot of engine detail. Most of the parts were chrome and had to be toned down with a mixture of clear flat and smoke. Instructions were very vague on the placement of some parts so some guess work had to be used. Luckily this is not my first Corvette model.   Thanks for looking and comments welcome.

Nice build. Engine looks good! These was called ZR1 as it say on your plate. Z06 was intruduced for the C5 as the performance version but they were not as radical different compared to ZR1 to the standard vette. The ZR1 comes with 32v engine which is completely new to the LT1 engine.
