Revell 2006 Corvette Z06

slightly off topic but thinking about it, the mica silver is probably released for the coming SLR isn't it?

Very nicely done, I like the BBS style rims they look like the F430 Challenges.

Looks nice so far, I am glad Revell did the right thing and released a Z06 kit. Now I don't have to deal with converting it myself! Hooray!

I made some minor progress this weekend on the Z06. On Friday evening I polished the body with 3600/4000 and Tamiya fine and finishing compounds. It's amazingly glossy; my pics don't show that off too well. I feel like I cheated; this was an easy finish to achieve with a minimum of effort. The Mica Silver is a cooler shade of silver than gloss aluminum. I also painted the window trim and aero spats in Acryl flat black.

On Saturday at Venabalooza (a few ACME and CARS members met at Veyron's house to build) I cleaned/fitted some resin racing seats I bought at the NNL East from Arrowhead Aluminum (they're supposed to be vending at our show ) and will use some Museum Collection harnesses/belts on them.

I glued the engine/torque tube/transaxle together, did some minor work on the seam line, attached the other parts to the engine/transaxle that were to be painted in aluminum and shot them w/Krylon Dull Aluminum (which works well and didn't seem to affect the plastic). I also removed the battery and will fit an oil sump tank in it's place under the hood.
