Revell Viper SRT10 ACR

Hello fellow Modelers! I have not built a model in several years and I am excited to start building again.
My friend gave me a red diecast model that he wanted me to paint Snakeskin Green to match his 1:1 Viper:

I thought sure, it would be simple! Then I realized it might be easier just to start fresh using a plastic kit so I bought him a Revell 1/25 ACR and went to work:)
Here is the 1:1. It is pretty much stock with the exception of tow hooks for the track...

My goal was to build it quickly but still capture the 1:1 details as best as I could.

For the engine I used fabric red on the valve covers and added various breather hoses and a dipstick tube:

Here is the 1:1 motor:

I painted the ignition covers green:

The body got a basecoat of Snakeskin. I will mask then add the black and clearcoat:

Here are the brakes, I made some slices to simulate the slotted Stoptech rotors:

Looks good. Are you using a silver primer or is that just a base for a candy color

wow. your friend would definitely be happy with the 1/25 companion to his 1/1 :)

WOW! He would be my Best friend!!! Hope he takes you for a spin!
Great model by the way!!!

Viper, my dream car, beautiful color and you're capturing it very well

is that the name of the green color, Snakeskin?


cheers

Mated the body/chassis!
