Dinky Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Btw is the gascap upside down or does it only look like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Very well done. 1 bugaboo, being it has the shielded distributor, spark plug wires should be braided steel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prince Ital Mike Posted May 8, 2014 Author Share Posted May 8, 2014 Nice build, really like the body color. The seats is not my taste but overall great build. Did you have issues with the front window, I saw some topics with problems about fitting the windows into the frame. I think that I was lucky, the front window just snapped inside. The side windows are a bit lifted up, but the gap is quite small, so I left it as it is. Only the wipers had to be shortened a bit, as they crossed. Btw is the gascap upside down or does it only look like that? Here I followed the instruction sheet and it seems that it was wrong. I could change it, but the decal would be upside down then, so I will probably leave it as it is... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prince Ital Mike Posted May 8, 2014 Author Share Posted May 8, 2014 (edited) Very well done. 1 bugaboo, being it has the shielded distributor, spark plug wires should be braided steel. Ooops, didn't know that... didn't recognize it on my reference photos from google. (and my engine know-how is too low) Big thanks to everyone for the comments!!!

bbowser Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Unusual color combination for a 'vette, but it works. Great model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertw Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Nice work and isn't that Revell kit a treat to build. It remains one of Monogram/Revell's best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenGuthmiller Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Very nice Michael!! I especially love your color choice! I get so tired of seeing the "usual" colors. Great job!! Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbill Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 very nice, I too like the color choice, great looking model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Ok, I agree it's an unusual color scheme, and nice to see something different. But the white seats in an otherwise tan interior don't work. A nice model, very well built and showing a high level of skill and craftsmanship... but sorry, the white seats/tan everything else don't work for me.

StevenGuthmiller Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 I see where you're coming from guys. The white seats are a little "funky". In my opinion, all black would have been the best choice, especially with the black "stinger" on the hood. But all tan, or even red would have looked good. But, overall, a very nice build Michael! The paint & detailing are exceptional! Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sak Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 (edited) Badass color. Tan like color is nice but seats should also be painted. Edited May 9, 2014 by sak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prince Ital Mike Posted May 9, 2014 Author Share Posted May 9, 2014 Thank you very much for your comments, I really appreciate it. About them seats - I often overdo stuff as I try to make it nice and the outcom is "funky/fancy". Need to hold myself back... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaydar Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Excellent all around. That is the color i have planned for mine. I will go a different direction on the interior, though. Joe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unclescott58 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Michael, I too don't like the white seats. But, you know what? Who cares? Do you like them? If you do, they are great. Very nice build. And I do like the key hanging from the ignition. A little touch that goes a long way. Scott Aho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shardik Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 That's a very nice, clean, well detailed build. You can add me to the list of people who love the color combo (seats excluded). My only critique would be that some of the panel lines are a bit too dark. This is often a problem with light colors if you use a traditional black wash on them. A better choice would be a slightly darker shade of the base color, or at least something in the same color range. A very light application of very well thinned burnt umber oil paint would be my choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
