Bad Boy Vette

I heard a rumor that Scale Motorsport is producing the bad boy vette decals for the Revell kit. If your interested, I would start emailing Scale Motorsport and show your support.

its not scalemotorsports is Stradasports he got the art work from J.Drew
that built the first one.

I see that but that is not what I am reffering to, yes Scale Motorsport.

I should send Scale Motorsport support because Strada Sports is already doing the decals? That doesn't make any sense. May the best decals win.

At the time of my post I didn't know Strada was doing a set. My point is (Zoom Zoom) if you let them see there is an interest, they are more likely to get produced. No matter who is producing them.

In that case, I will send Kevin an e-mail since he's already taken the initiative and show him my support.

Trust me, I had some emails w/Strada's artist last week, he knows I'm excited over all the C6R decals.

it would be like Scalemotorsports to bring something out that is already in the market. Like the Audi R10 and the Cobra Daytona Coupe.

this maybe my reason to buy 2 SMS C6R sets.

I'd love to build the 2 cars, they just look so bad ass

minimodels.be is also releasing a couple of C5-R/C6-R decals.
SRT FFSA and FiaGT cars; LAA 24hSpa 07 car; PSI FFSA and FiaGT 24h Spa and the Carsport/Phoenix FiaGT 24h Spa decals

I tried to view the website of minimodel but it asked for name and password.
Could you attach a link to view these decals?
Thanks

I'll be waiting, buying them untill all are released.
I have the SRT 2004/2005 FFSA/Belcar/FiaGT 24h Spa decals. Bought them at the LMS Spa 2007 event. Haven't used them yet, but the look very good (little to no excess lines on the decals, very nice and crispy look).

Trust me, I had some emails w/Strada's artist last week, he knows I'm excited over all the C6R decals.

Now I know what I'll be doing with my SMS C6r kit :grinyes:
... and my box stock Revell C6r kit.

Does it really matter who brings us the decals? The marketplace will decide who has the best decals.

I was dreading having to print them up myself and now there are multiple companies willing to bring them to market. I'm thrilled to see the Startpeople livery as well. Thankfully there is an active aftermarket for this great kit!

FYI: The white Ron Fellows decals are currently available now.

Looks like there is another livery on the way....

Those black rims kick ass! If we could only get a decent, affordable BBS rim set...:banghead:

Is there a place I can order these from in English?

JB

No other sites sells them that I know of. He makes them himself if I am correct.
To order you must mail him which decals you want (his wife speaks english if I am correct) You can pay with Visa or International banktransfer.
I haven't done it this way. I bought them at the last LMS Spa event. He sells his stuff in the Paddock of all major Spa events.
I am going to try and order the decals if more Corvette decals are released.

try grand prix models he atleast carried them at one point

try grand prix models he atleast carried them at one point

He is in spain his name is Ramon.

I just received good news from Matt at Scale Motor Sport. Here is his response to whether or not they were producing the decals.

"Yeah the BBV decals are really quite cool we were very lucky because we contacted the team owner who sent us the actual electronic art from their files for us to use in our decals so we are very confident the sheet is dead on accurate.

The set should be ready by 21 March we will have it posted to the GPMA and on our web site as well very soon. Thanks for asking and please feel free to post an announcement too if you can it will make a great companion to our C6R Builders kit. Regards, Matthew"

I know I'll be in line waiting for mine!!!

Nice!

sweet, looks like alot of money going to SMS again.

Maybe the decals will be the right size - but the main point is if they match the model they are supposed to be used on...

We should have the BBV early april. We should have the White Fellows C6R back from Cartograf in a couple of weeks. It has two sets of stripes on it. One set with a pearl over coat to give them a metallic look. For which ever set you want to use. I can't wait to see how they turn out.
If all goes well we will probably end up doing the 2008 BBV. I can't wait to see it at Sebring.
Kevin

I would have like to seen the BBV decals first

Which stripes are correct (for the Ron Fellows version)? Are the BBV cartograph as well?

Was the BBV livery a one time thing? I thought the new livery was going to be this one: Link (http://www.badboyvette.com/165)

I was at Sebring last year and seen the White car leave the paddock. they were definetely metallic red. I have had people that weren't there tell me differently, so we just put them on the sheet to keep them happy. It could have had different color stripes at Mosport, but I wouldn't know why.
Kevin

If you go to Jan Magnussen's official site, there are pics from Sebring that will show the red stripes which look metallic to me.

One question...are there any differences between the 2006 and 2007/08 cars? Is OK if I use the SMS kit with the new Bad Boy decals?:uhoh:

[QUOTE=sam01contact]One question...are there any differences between the 2006 and 2007/08 cars? Is OK if I use the SMS kit with the new Bad Boy decals?:uhoh:[/QUOTEto t]

The sms kit (06) is more detailed to the 2007/8 car that the stock Revell kit(presentation model; NOT real 2005version).
(e.g. better diffuser and the right rims)

Studio27 is going to make a new kit which is more based on the 2007 car (they are planning to release all the C6-R's of the 2007LM race shortly)

Decals will be for both sms/revell(same revell body), because S27 kit isn't released yet

Thanks for the info Kingkai!! :iceslolan

GREAT news about Studio 27 doing the C6R!! Any news about a possible release date?

I think the hood opening is smaller on the 07 Laguna Bad boy than it is in the kit. Not sure when it changed but there is a difference.

Here is my question, why buy a curbside kit by S27, when for less money you can have the SMS/Revell kit? Which has a far more amount of detail including the interior? I always find S27 interiors to be over simplified.

Sure the Revell plastic is a bit cumbersome but decent modeling skills can make it a nice build. I've seen several different sellers offering the SMS kit for 99USD. If you build 2 different versions that's $198, where as 2 kits By S27 is going to run you at least $310.

If Studio 27 is only a curbside, a $150 price tag is just crazy! :screwy:

Why not. Revell kit isn't a real 05 version. The back hasn't got the messing (front needs to be opened and inserted with own mess), wrong diffuser, wrong rims (which is corrected in the SMS kit which is nearly as expensive as the coming S27 kit)...
SMS is needed to correct the Revell faults.
I feel cheated by revell with detail level outside car. S27: I feel cheated by the price...
Well my sollution for myself, I buy: 05/06 cars (and 07 decals non LM) SMS/Revell; 07 LM 4 versions S27 (for me the S27/SMS kits are just as expensive here)

I think it would be great if SMS could release the photoetched parts and carbon fiber decals as separate items, but I think that's not going to happen :grinno:

Why not. Revell kit isn't a real 05 version. The back hasn't got the messing (front needs to be opened and inserted with own mess), wrong diffuser, wrong rims

Im sorry, I dont want to be rude, but Revell got the wheels right for the 2005 car, at least the orginal version. The diffusors found in the revell kit are based off the introduction version, and im sure the wheels are as well. The diffusor was used at Sebring, but then changed by Le Mans, to the one you see in the SMS kit. However, the same 15 spoke wheels stayed throughout the season to Laguna Seca
http://www.corvetteracing.com/pictures/2005/lagunaseca/
Maybe your talking about 06 car, then the SMS kit got it right. As for the 05 kit, the wheels are fine (everyone says there wrong, but not for the 05 car)

So if your going to build the 2005 car, all you need is the kit and the S27 p/e part. That fixes the need mesh for front and rear. So far Ive spent a total of $33 plus tax for both the kit and the p/e set. A little bit creativity and custom parts, you'll be satisfied. If you want the correct diffusor or wheels for a 2006+ car, spend all the money you want :wink:

Edit: What Revell really did mess up was the windows for the car. The car has side windows!!! How are we supposed to apply the Bad Boys Decals when they go over the window???

Yes I know te Revell rims are the right 2005 ones (sorry I didn't make that clear). But Revell making a introduction car that is actually a C6-R body work on a C5-R chassis car doesn't make me happy. Certainly not when that car was released by Revell so many months after than the actual LM2005 race. And also, as with the C5-R kit of them, no LM race windows...
Ok it is a cheap kit, but if Tamya did a job like that we would have a flammed thread here (maybe already with the interrior of the Lexus SuperGT kit)

yup that 's the same problem that occured when LMM released the audi R10 and revell arrived with it. One is 20 euros, the other 140 (yeah and you can find it at 90 dollars on ebay, that's crazy).
As for the SMS TK, honestly i won't pay 100 dollars for just 4 alu wheels and decal, it's overpriced, like the hiro TK for the fujimi 126C2.Rather buy the mutlimedia kit completely.

ST27 will have the PSI version, the black and orange one, but still yeah they should just release some decals and that's it.
The revell kit is fun, but wrong with the windows and rear spoiler attach. Also, yeah for the 2006 version they didn't correct the wheels, which switched to BBS, and not OZ.

This bad boy vette looks great, but be careful, ST27 have eyes, so they can also release it as a decal sheet. The kit is due in march, pics on their site. Nose seems big....

I am making the Esso Supra JGTC kit at the moment of S27, it is really great. But with the new S27 kits i'm not so sure about their accuracy. But as with the 550 pics, it isn't the final version yet...

Manu, do you actually think S27 is going to make three different bodies for the 3 different LM cars? Nope it will be the same and you will have to alter it to make it the correct version. Not something I feel all warm and fuzzy about after shelling out 155 to 165 USD. (Look at their Viper bodies)

I think there will be other LM versions printed to fit the Revell so the PSI experience and Luc Alphand efforts will be able to be built. This and other threads on AF have shown a lot of interest in other vette liveries. Maybe we will see lot's of different things start to happen. It's about time.

As far as paying $100 for a TK for rims alone, you need to see what's in the TK before making that statement. You get an entire kit, tons of PE and lots of TM plus a decal sheet for LM06. Far more than ANY curbside S27 kit. All the inaccuracies you list were fixed in the SMS TK. So your logic stumps me.

At this point I don't care if S27 does Bad Boy, I'm either buying SMS or Strada decals and probably both but not S27, different scale more money.

different scale more money.

Wow...hold it, hold it!!

I know the Revell kit is 1:25...Studio 27 will be 1:24??:uhoh:

There goes my plan of MAYBE using studio 27 with the Bad boy decals from SMS or SPEEDLINE.:swear:

So I went back to Strada and Scale Motorsport looking at the Whats new or Coming Soon sections and I do not see any of the '07 Bad Boy Vette declas. I do see the white decal set.

Are these decals canceled? Are they at the printer? Will they be released?

I believe SMS is set to release these at the NNL and have them on their website by the end of the month. SMS and Strada may each release a version separately; one of the yellow car and one of the black car. I spoke to Kevin and emailed Matt last week encoraging both to release a version of decals. I really wish someone would do a plastic or resin version of those rims as well...

Thanks for the update. I have money put aside for the builder kit and decals.

Chris

SMS decals are listed on the site today. Matthew did release them at the NNL.

SMS decals are listed on the site and the set builds both cars not one or the other. Matthew will have them at the NNL East.

Mine just arrived, amazing! Great to see the attention to the hood modification, but for those who dont have the SMS kit, how do we use the decals for the side windows? The revell kit doesnt have them....

The decals are on 2 sheets, and the instructions are very colorful, showing all placements and how to modify the hood...

Can you show the part of the instructions for modifying the hood? What's different about it?

For the side windows, you could always cut your own from the plastic that comes in most packaging; you know the annoying ones that you need a machete to open...

Just in case anyone was wondering, the decal sheet only make one of the vettes. I thought from the pictures you could make both the #4 and the #3 cars. Still cool the decals are out; bummer you can't make both...

Just to clarify, you have the choice to make either the 3 or 4 car, shared logo's on both cars appear once on the decal sheets but you can make either car. From the previous post that is not clear.
