sdangers Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 (edited) Hey guys I am quite impressed with what is going on here, and had second thoughts on putting this one up or not - but i decided to do anyway. This was my first attempt to "pimp" up a car model - and my choise fell on a Corvette - allthough i might have choosen another year for my project !!! Basicly i just used what was in the kit - only scratch was the scoop, the rear spoiler and the exhaust. I tried to do a paintjob without using any decals - took a little time masking it off, but i think it went okay. Here are the pictures Thats all for that one - my next Corvette will be an older version - but also modified Thanks for looking Cheers Soren Edited June 25, 2012 by sdangers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Car looks good but it looks more like a 90 than an 80. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 This is a 1980 Corvette It's almost identical to the one I owned for twenty years. Doesn't the model box tell you what year yours is meant to represent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Nice red vette. I had an 80 also. Mine was yellow and had the California 305, no 350. : ( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 (edited) Soren, I can tell you put a lot of effort into making your engine stand out, but I couldn't help noticing the condition of the injector stacks. The missing chunks from the openings indicate that these parts were twisted off the sprue tree rather than being cut off. If you don't mind a helpful suggestion, always use some type of sharp blade to remove parts so you don't end up with chunks missing out of them. Hobby knives with a #11 blade are usually fairly cheap, and I've heard very good things about the Tamiya side cutter P/N 74035. Is this an MPC/AMT kit? If so, how would you rate it as far as quality of engineering / fit of parts etc? Edited June 25, 2012 by Monty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
