soldier0829 Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 For my second build in many years I went with the Revell '68 Corvette. Build is basically box-stock with a few minor details added. Kit was assembled and primed with Tamiya fine gray. Exterior color is Scale Finishes GM International Blue, 3 coats, which I shot through a Badger 350 at 20 psi. I put a quick coat of DuPont clear on the hood but it fisheyed a little so I stopped right there. Honestly the Scale Finishes paint is so good it really doesn't need a clear. Chassis is Tamiya flat black with details painted and then the whole washed with a mixture of artist's mars black and turpentine. All chrome was de-chromed and resprayed with Spaz Stix black backer and mirror chrome. Interior is a work in progress but basically just Tamiya semi gloss black with some embossing powder carpets. Should be done in a few days. Will post under glass then.

DonW Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 Lovely. I had a bit of trouble with mating body and chassis on mine but it turned out OK in the end.
soldier0829 Posted February 10, 2014 Author Posted February 10, 2014 Thanks for the comments! Glad you all like it so far. Should be wrapping up soon. Don, this kit has given me trouble at every turn too.
