Hi,
Started Revell C6 Vette from this weekend.
Revell's mold is very rough especially around panel lines.
so sanded body hard and carefully. also sharpen the edge line of tail.
This pic has taken after applied yellow primer.

Yellow looks nice but it hides all the cool lines of the C6 which metallics and pearls can show off.

Well, not exactly happy but how could I be upset? The thing is gorgeous! Besides, I have something else going that'll knock your socks off :grinyes:
Nice paint, looks better than mine so far! I too opened up the grill.
Yeah, this model is pretty popular...almost as much as those Ferraris popping up every other thread.

Looking Groovy Osamu, told you I like this car because it's supersweet, but this is just too good to follow, I guess when I ever build one of my own I ll just have to try and make it half as good as yours.
