ScaleDale Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 I saw this auto in a build thread put I can't find it , my Q about this kit is the body , one piece body , no opening hood , is that how it is , a little confused about that It was one of my first builds when I got back into modeling. The body lifts off. All in all, the fit is awsome. Dale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMSANUT Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 I'll have to add this to the pile, as I have all the other versions of this kit. Over all, a fairly painless kit for Revell to re-issue. I sure wish they'd update the C6R to more recent ALMS versions body wise at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScaleCentral Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Just FYI, the '03-'04 body on the C5R is different from any of previous bodies as well as the engine air intake is one piece. The '99-early '00 is the first version they did with the longer hood vents. The '00-'02 body is the second version which is the one you see in this kit. The biggest difference is the shorter vents and large air exit area in the hood. For '03 they added much larger vents over the front wheels, changed the air exit area again, and a few other minor tweaks. To do a completely accurate '03 you need to do these mods or get one of Scale Productions transkits which already has the hood separate. They pop up from time to time. Harold Bradford from HRM did the early bodies and are fairly easy to get. Nic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
