Completed '06 Corvette Z06

Here is my lastest completed project. The new Revell Corvette Z06. The inspiration for the paint came from the hotwheels car shown beside it.

I built it boxstock, and almost curbside. The final fitment of the kit is horrible, so I left all the upper parts of the engine off, and glued the hood shut.

The body was painted Cobra Colors Chevy LeMans Blue Metallic, and Lamborghini Nero Osirus Pearl. The interior was painted dark grey with blue and light grey accents. The wheels are magnesium metalizer and cleared.

I added a wing from a Subaru WRX kit, also painted 2 tone.

Great looking model and fantastic finish. Nice job with the wing too.

Super clean! Great work!

That totally rocks!

OWw great job. looks awesome. Not sure about the wing but the shine is incredible. I love the 1st pic the reflection of the yellow car is mindblowing! Keep up the great work

Nice and clean, i know what you mean about the bad fitment, i had trouble with me c6. Great build though.

Looks awesome. Guess I was kept in the dark about there being a Z06 kit.

I still don't like the wing. The paint is incredible, though.

Thanks for all the great comments guys.

Excellent! I see you're still polishing paint to within an inch of its life. I like the two-tone work and the magnesium paint on the wheels.

Nice build as per usual,paintwork is flawless!

Wonderful and unique paint job! rear spoiler looks nice.

amazing on how the WRX wing blended with the vette. :lol:

It looks awesome!

simply badass, it looks like a 1/18 scale model when next to the hotwheels

Nice work on this crappy kit.
The wing looks perfect on it!

Funny how a wing from a Subie looks so appropriate on a Z06! Wonderful job, too bad about the fitment issues. :)

Thanks for the great comments guys.

I didn't mean to say this is a crappy kit by any means. It's actually nice in proportions of the real car. The kit would go together nice with some attention given to the problem parts in the beginning, but I was faced with sanding/modifying completed painted parts. I'm happy with my car in the end, I don't mind that I tore the top of the engine off, but those that have to have a fully detailed underhood need to do some test fitting and extra work.

Great work, i really like the wing and the color combo.

edit: maybe you can use the leftover engine parts on the 7 project ;-)
