vizio93 Posted September 24, 2009 Author Posted September 24, 2009 HOLY MOLEY !!! you got some nice vettes man, and thats an understatement. you guys have convensed me to get back into building mine. i'm thinkin' that i'm gonna do arctic white and black wheels, black interior, and the supercharger with red accents such as the calipers and the covers on the engines. do you have any detailed engine pics ?
69*Goat Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 Here is my one and only regular Vette. I shot it with Tamiya TS-39 Mica Red. I striped the rims, and re-shot them with Alclad 2 Polished Aluminum.
vizio93 Posted September 25, 2009 Author Posted September 25, 2009 nice job on that vette man. i love that color. that's the 05' one isn't it ? it's the one i'm startin' out with. thanks for the pics !!!
MrObsessive Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 Here's my '05 done in Sunset Orange..............
Scott Colmer Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 I never considered myself to be a true Vette fanatic, but it turns out I've got three of them in my small collection of built and in-progress models. More than any others. Must the cool body lines. Scott Starting in 1985. Hosted on Fotki Then on to 2005. Hosted on Fotki And on the bench...Hosted on Fotki
JayC Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 All the Vettes in this thread are just downright beautiful! I was thinking about a '69 Camaro as my first build in a long time, but now I'm torn between that and a Vette.
vizio93 Posted September 26, 2009 Author Posted September 26, 2009 Bill wow man you did a really nice job on that vette. i love that color. thanks for the engine pic. BTW did you blackwash those brakes? Scott wow those three vettes look cool. i like the white one Jayc my first model car was a 69' camaro. it's a nice kit and a good starter kit. Thanx everyone for the pics and i can't wait to see more ;)
FORDSVTPARTS Posted September 26, 2009 Posted September 26, 2009 (edited) Here's mine, built as a Cannonball car specifically for night time high speed running. It's been criticized for a lack of exterior detail but the whole point was for the car to be non-reflective and hard to see at night. Edited September 26, 2009 by FORDSVTPARTS
curt raitz Posted September 26, 2009 Posted September 26, 2009 I'll throw in a couple of my corvettes, mostly racing ones though... Guess I'm gonna have to build that Zr06 sitting on the shelf...
philo426 Posted September 26, 2009 Posted September 26, 2009 I always liked the Stingrays of the late '60s early '70s era.
69*Goat Posted September 26, 2009 Posted September 26, 2009 I wanted to add some outside shots of my one and only regular Vette. The ones I posted earlier that were taken inside did not do the Mica Red justice.
vizio93 Posted September 27, 2009 Author Posted September 27, 2009 nice vette's everybody. it's good to see this thread still goin'. you guy's have convensed me to start working on mine i'm gonna post a WIP tommarow when i can get some good shots of it. can't wait to see the next ones
ismaelg Posted September 27, 2009 Posted September 27, 2009 Billy, Be aware of a slight fit problem with that kit. The front wheel on the driver's side is nor perfectly centered in the wheel well. You need to enlarge the mounting hole so you can move the wheel/brake assembly forward about 1/16" maybe a hair more. I'm curious about the supercharger you mention. Which one do you plan to use? Regards,

I'm curious about the supercharger you mention. Which one do you plan to use? Regards, thanks for the tip man. the supercharger is from the GT500KR revell kit. it fits well and it should give it a good amount of power. looks like this one except i'll be using the stock corvette covers: http://www.lingenfelter.com/engine-package...00-supercharger i like the 1:1 hood on it, but i won't be modifying it on the 1:24. the supercharger actually sits lower that the stock intake Edited September 27, 2009 by vizio93
ismaelg Posted September 27, 2009 Posted September 27, 2009 Cool! That's interesting. I started scratchbuilding a supercharger a long time ago, (actually for a C5) but this may save me some time.... Thanks,

MrObsessive Posted September 27, 2009 Posted September 27, 2009 Bill wow man you did a really nice job on that vette. i love that color. thanks for the engine pic. BTW did you blackwash those brakes? Yes, I did slightly blackwash the brake discs on that one. The wheels were also stripped of their chrome, airbrushed with Alclad lacquer black, then airbrushed with Alclad chrome. I thought the kit wheels were just too shiny of a chrome to represent the 1:1, but the Alclad chrome gives them more of a highly polished aluminum look.

Ismael's right about the kooky wheel placement on the driver's side Here's a couple pics where I got out my dial calipers to confirm this to myself when I was building mine............ Note how the wheel would be about .10†rearward than the other side!……….this is the driver's side we’re looking at. As you can see by my built up pics that problem was cured.
