Plastheniker Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 Hi, it does not necessarily take a pricey and sophisticated kit to make an acceptable model. I built this (still available?) Revell snap kit about 15 years ago conventionally with glue and putty. I don't remember major issues. An obvious shortcoming are the lateral scripts that are hardly perceptible after painting, but fortunately on the 1:1 car they have the same colour as the body. The finished kit is not spectacular but presentable.
Sixgunner68 Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 Very nice! Wouldn't have known it was a "snap".
Porscheman Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 Beautiful build of a nicely done snap kit!!!
Skydime Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 That's a nice snap kit. You did a great job. And certainly easier than wrestling the Viper kits I've tried. I know they can't be the shoddy stickers in the new Revell snap kits so, are those decal stripes or masked and painted.
Plastheniker Posted October 22, 2013 Author Posted October 22, 2013 Thanks so far. Ken you are right. The white stickers of the kit were useless. I sprayed the stripes but I don't remember if I sprayed the white paint first and then masked the stripes or vice versa. Probably I chose the first way because it is less work.
Harry P. Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 It's a simple kit, not much detail, but you made it look very good.
Scuderia Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 I sprayed the stripes but I don't remember if I sprayed the white paint first and then masked the stripes or vice versa. Probably I chose the first way because it is less work. Stunning. Did you paint the stripes? Good job, I'm working on the glue Viper GTS kit and you did great here!
slusher Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 A snap kit. Thats one good looking model. WOW..
Plastheniker Posted October 23, 2013 Author Posted October 23, 2013 Thanks so far for your comments! By the way if anyone should be interested in this inexpensive and recommendable kit: It is Revell #6359 and indeed still (or again) available.
mikemopar70 Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 Very nice! Your viper is so well executed, it looks real!! Congratulations!
