Hi,
Started Monogram 1:24 Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1(C4).
http://www.works-y3f.com/m_cars/9_coming/2008/05_ZR1/00.jpg

For me, this is a complete new car model to build after an interval of 1 year and 9 months.
I intend to give this C4 Vette heavy modification.
I hope you enjoy this progress to begin from now.

*overall exterior
It's composed of 4 parts. body, window shield/roof, engine hood and front bumper.

Started from engine hood modification.

Made duct frames and marked position of fins.

Made fins by strip styrene and put them one by one on the hood.

Looks like you've made a good start. The air ducts look very nice.
What else are you planning on changing?
I'm looking forward to following this thread!

The long wait was well worth it :)

Another astonishing modeling how-to from Kunta-san.
Really looking forward to this build because I have the same model in my to-do-pile. Great inspiration as always, keep it up!

Looking great. The position of that fuel-cap is intriguing, what are you planing to do?

Very awesome build so far. You did what Chevy should've; taken the almost stock looking ZR-1 and making it stand out.
