1/12 Scale `67 Corvette 427! (uh, yeah, another one)

Yeah, just another one of these. :grinyes:
Well, this is the 5th time around if I am counting correctly, and I still plan on building more. :grinyes: Although, this one was quite a bear. It really fought me for some reason.
Anyway, in my progress thread, the question came up if I was going to detail this to the same level as the Camaro in my sig. I can say definitely that this one is atleast on par with the Camaro. I had about 350 reference pics for this one, and tried to get all the frame markings, wiring and connectors, lettering on hoses and wires, and even nuts and bolts which I cut off of spare pieces from a Camaro kit. Again, I used period-correct inspection sticker, license plate, and window sticker printed from the real items.
Please tell me what you think!

OMG thats not a scale model. I need a pix of you standing next to it! That is some sweet Corvette :iceslolan

It was fun following along on this and the results are spectacular. I can see why you will do more of these. What a beautiful model.

What I think is that I agree 100% with guys >>>

The paint is just duplicolor with alot of attention during the "rubbing out" process. I spent alot of time, and I mean alot of time, rubbing out the finish being careful not to rub through. There are only about 6-7 coats of clear on it this time around though.

A fine buld.

I hate you and your insane level of awesomeness.

Another masterpiece. :D

Wow, that is awesome. Just at a glance I was impressed, but once I read your post and saw how detailed it is I am floored. The research you did really added to it, the inspection sticker, the dealer window sticker, and all the engine belt and hose markings really take it to another level. I can't wait to see what you build next.

:popcorn:

Looks cool !!

i want a 1/12 scale 67 corvette runaround
