Chevrolet XP-882 Aerovette mid-engined concept

[caapa]

The XP 882 Aerovette is the closest one ever came to seeing production in 1973. It has a showy, slippery exterior, 72 degree sloped windshield and unique bi-fold gullwing doors.

I not only missed this handsome model from my collection but I found the task very attractive to prepare the bi-fold gullwing doors workable.

The model was built from a Revell-Monogram kit. I made some additional parts to model as pedals and inside mirror, wiring and tubing on engine, door sealing profile. As I didn`t find any paint Platinum Metallic I mixed 90% Aluminum and 10% Titanium Metallic from Testors for paintjob and clear coated with a waterborn clear lacquer.
