voljeepx Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 This is my Revell Viper ACR kit that I finally completed after many weeks! The kit is very temperamental and could benefit from an upgrade in terms of fit and assembly ease. I bought a can of code PGS Viper Snakeskin Green at work and I think the color turned out great. I also cut out the "vents" on the hood and replaced those with mesh. The interior was done with Krylon sprays and finished out with flocking and detail painting. I started taking pictures and realized I forgot to add the valve covers that were drying downstairs so, sorry, no engine bay pics. I hope you like it and please, leave a comment good or bad! Thanks, Ed. Thanks for looking!
voljeepx Posted January 2, 2011 Author Posted January 2, 2011 More pics: I drilled out the back of the gauges and that is why there are white blobs where they should be, just waiting for the glue to dry so they look like lenses.
crispy Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 Loving the color! Good work. Still up in the air on whether I want to get this kit. I do like how it looks though. Chris

cherokeered Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 Looks great! What brand flocking did you use?
ChrisR Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 Nice model. Did you adjust the front ride height?

It's not a bad kit overall, it just needs some tweaks to make it a great kit. Revell took the last Viper kit and just updated it with new ACR stuff. It is fine on a kit like the Corvette C6 which was a good kit to start with, but the Viper not so much. Once you set up the chassis to sit right it is not too bad. I really like the interior and engine though. Buy it but just know you have to do a few things to make it right!
voljeepx Posted January 6, 2011 Author Posted January 6, 2011 My neighbor owns that exact car. I absolutely love this color! What kind is it again? The paint is actual Mopar touch up paint code PGS sprayed right from the can. Thanks for looking.
voljeepx Posted January 6, 2011 Author Posted January 6, 2011 Looks great! What brand flocking did you use? It is Kens Fuzzy Fur. Thanks!
voljeepx Posted January 6, 2011 Author Posted January 6, 2011 Nice model. Did you adjust the front ride height? Yes, I did lower it just a small amount. Same for the rear. Thanks!
