Another easter Corvette.
by webby Fri 25 Mar 2016, 10:27 am
In between the Corvette GS build, I got stuck into this one. It had been scraped & sanded last year, so it was paint & assembly time.
I assume its an older kit,since the tyres have the Michelin TRX tread, rather than the period correct tyres on Revell's '67 Corvette Coupe.
The roadster has the optional factory alloy wheels ('mags' to me) and the Tri Power intake & side pipes. Not complaining as, with some juggling one could build the roadster with Rally wheels, 4BBL induction & full exhaust.
Interior is Tamiya Light Tan, exterior will be British Racing Green. OOTB build, I've added plug leads, a fuel line & booster vac line. Heater hoses to come.

Nice one Chris. The fuel line on the engine is very nicely done.

Will be great with tan interior and British racing green. Engine itself is a fine model, clean and detailed!

Got the BRG shot on it yesterday. No polish yet. And the BMF drought won't effect this build- all the chrome is individual pieces. The GS lurks behind.
