My new project La Corvetta Amarilla, We puertoricans call the vettes, corvetas, other spanish cultures say corvetes,

Anyway enoff with the tomato, tometo thing.

I was so happy Revell made this Corvette. They made the C5 wich is in my closet waiting to be build too, So they have

the base to create the c6. This car is just BAD. TOTAL DOMINATION. Detroned Vipers Shorts Winning seasson and

It's been on top since. Winning championship after championship. The rest just waits for corvette to have a bad day

so they can gwt a piece of the pie. I am a FORD GUY, but must say I Love this car. In my opinion THE BEST CORVETTE

EVER.

This kit is simple, snap like. but with lots of potential if you can detail it right and give it the right stance.

I am going to take advantage that the doors were separated from the body, and will make to open the doors.

I will be making two, oNe box Stock and thje other my way.

great intro to set up your build.

Love all the Vette's, and this C6 is down right vicious,

Great start. I have two different C5R builds started. In fact I think all my kits are started, only a couple finished.

Looking forward to more of yours.
