'69 Corvette

havnt done a car for a while....this was on top of the pile so its next to be done once the tiny JagdPanther is done.......no idea as to the colour yet, probably red

Looks like a good kit.

Watch out for the master cylinder fit. It stopped me from closing the hood properly and I had to adjust it down a little.

What's this?......... a car from the 'wulf??? you must be slumming it Paul!!!

been a little while, wanted to do something colourful for a change

it was either this or a Testarossa lol

finally made some progress

had some problems with the shell, been stripped twice cos i messed up the spray job, ended up with a coat of Nissan Red....needs to dry hard then i can clear coat

i also decided its going to be kerbside, at the moment i cant be bothered with doing any detailing.....interior has been done in matt black and chrome

Ooo!! goodie. What could be better then a bright red 'vette!!!

so its had a few bits done like chrome surround and turn signals painted, then a gloss coat over the top,then a panel wash. .....ive added the tail lights which are currently drying before i can do any thing else

Watching with interest.

shell is on the chassis.............not sure about the Carlos Fandango wheels :lol:

......

Nice looking red on the vette and I agree with you on the wheels. They look good on their own but doesn't seem to suit the car.

Not a fan of the wheels either. I like Red Corvettes. Nice work.

Paul: Going to be fun to see what you do with a CAR!!!

lol, its finished now........just need to take some pics later on

i do build cars, once upon a time as Al will testify, it was just about all i built!....these days my tastes have expanded somewhat

and finished.........
not the greatest of kits and my paintwork is a bit dodgy
kit comes with all manner of 'custom' decals, bit to garish for me......still not impressed with the wheels lol
i havnt added the door mirrors.....how the hell you are supposed to attach those without messing up the paintwork?...so i didnt bother lol


more pics in the finished thread

Door mirrors....

Drill a small hole in the door. Drill a small hole in the mirror base and glue in a small piece of sytene rod. Now the attatchment is easy.

Paul: nice job. I can't make too much fuss about what you build because the Dark Side has gotten a grip on me. On my way out today to pick up a Tiger I.

before now what ive done is the same but used about 5 mm of a sewing pin to make the spigot.......these things are too small to even do that!

good for you!

once you start theres no going back lol...armour can become addictive

I never commented on this as have been unavailable for a couple of weeks, I like the wheels, think a yellow or green paint job would have looked better with them but thats my opinion, either way, looks good from here and like my black one I did a few weeks ago
