Finished* Corvette C6

Revell's new C6 kit is good but not great. I built mine curbside so I can't report on engine bay/drivetrain parts other than to say they look very good. Most everything fit well except for the headlight covers, and that will vary depending on how much paint is on the car before they are installed.

The biggest flaw is that the left front wheel sits too far to the rear...nothing looked bent or warped so I don't really know why it doesn't line up.....I guess we'll see if it's a common problem when more finished ones are posted.

Overall the kit is very good, the body, rims and interior are well proportioned and engraved. The glass parts aren't very clear and the car might sit a bit high in the back, I didn't adjust any ride height. I installed the chrome headlights which go in from the back...the way they are made with the lights being short tubes you'd think they push through the holes and protrude more like projectors....but on the real car they are flush so I installed them that way. There isn't a positive chassis lock to the the body so I put a bit of CA glue on the chassis and put the body on....after the glue set I realized that the chassis had pushed the healights away from the opening but then it was too late to remove the body to correct them. So....are the headlights badly engineered? Again we won't know til someone else reports on it...I had to resort to putting MV lenses in from the outside for lights.

I painted it with custom mixed HoK 'Fire' including the 'A' post which are black on the the real car, and cleared with 3 coats of Tamiya clear. Interior is Acryl Dragon Black, rims are Gunze Iron metalizer with Acryl goss clear topcoat. The kit comes with nice metal exhaust tips, the brakes are covered with Alclad chrome. I put screen in the lower openings where lights are suppose to go..just for effect. Also used seats from the new Viper kit, they look more racy.

Beautiful paint, nice color. Very close to DSOM. Is it just me, or are the wheels a little out of proportion?

Very nice lookin C6. Color is perfect. Headlights look alright on the pix though...

It's brute-iful.
The seats are a huge improvement over what's in the box.
Very nicely done! :)

Hi,

another really great model of you ....

That is superb. Fantastic paint job.

I can definally see the enhancements you made. This is definally not your average OBO build.
Flawless!

She's a beauty!

Came out nice, the color is perfect. I wonder whose server is slower...A/F or infinite1der? LOL.

Finally snagged me a C6 today at Hobby Lobby. Got another Viper as well so I can have better seats too :biggrin: .

The color and finish is beautiful! Great job!

Revell's new C6 kit is good but not great.

:bigthumb: Very nice!! I have got to get one!

Very nice!

Super Clean, love the color.

lovely!
As someone already said, I'm not a huge fan of modern 'vettes but your build could change my mind :)

Love the colour combination of the body and wheels. Another lesson well learnt! :)

Love it!!

Gorgeous! The finish looks like a lightened Daytona Sunset Orange with a little more spark added to it. Goes great with the darkened wheels.

Well, what a beautiful result on this nice car!
Loving the colour, loving the little added parts and changes, very very good!
