Progress pics: Revell Corvette Z06

Yeah, I'm still pretty new to this so go easy on me.

PS: The body doesn't have another mirror because the other one is still drying.

Looks better than when I started. Its coming along just fine.

I sure wish the internet and AF was around to help me out 15 years ago. This forum's got a lot of cool people to help along your progress.

looks pretty good to me. :D

Looks awesome. I've built the same kit, but I remember a lot of the suspension parts were pretty thin, plus painting the seats sucks because it seems like the tiny grooves channel paint OUT of where you want it to be.

Looking good so far. And nice choice for the body colour.
Always loved yellow Corvettes :)

Looks great.I'm building a Vette too.:)

nice stuff! seems as though you got a nice shine off that body! what paint is that?

Nice work! I got the same kit but I am going to put it aside for now to wait for my skills to get better. There is two things that I didn't like about the kit from what I can see. Revell took the engine from a stock 'Vette put it in this kit. If you look at a real Z06's engine cover (right cover if you were looking at the car head on), there is only one wire coming out from it and making a 90 degree turn into the firewall but Revell's has the standard 'Vette's two wires coming out the engine cover. No biggie though as I can correct this. The second is that the decals are really poorly printed. Overall though, it's a nice kit to have.

Nice Corvette. It's looking good so far. I have started mine a while back, and I chose yellow for the body color as well. As far as I can see everything on yours looks good.

It's Testors yellow, thanks for the good feedback guys. You can't see the bubbles and orange peel, though..

I really need a Gundam Marker. You can't see the sloppy job I did on the "Corvette" on the engine cover with a toothpick..

If you're trying to highlight the raised Corvette on the engine cover, try this: Dip your brush in black paint, then squeeze the brush in a napkin until it's dry. Then lightly brush it over the Corvette symbol, and it should come out alright.

What happens is the thinner gets soaked up by the napkin, and only pigment is left on the brush.

Great job looks killer. I built this same kit and painted it yellow with a cream interior but it dose not look as good as yours. Keep up the good work.

Looking good so far.
Car looks good in yellow.
Keep up the good work and the pics

looking awesome mate!!!!!!

I'll update when I'm almost done. I'm going to work on it right now. ;)

hope you have better luck with it than the ones i have done..ive tried 2 regulars and one ZO6 and none of them have come out right...the body doesnt go on right i think it was the mold..and plus...i lost like 5 windshiields for them....and then i bought 2 more to try after the first 2 and the both were trashed...one under the tire of my truck and the other from the second story onto the driveway

Looks fat! Alot better then my first car, Tip: Never brush paint the sexy shape of a Viper in bright red in a dusty room :o . Anyway, put some more pics up!
