Re: 1967 Chevrolet Corvette - Con Air

Hi Iceracer1,

Looking good so far. I love that box art from Revell but cringe when seeing at what they did (in the film) to his car.. A very sad end if you ask me.

One thing to mention here, I think your block colour is to light. Chevrolet engines of that time were a distinct shade of orangish-red like this photo of a 1967 Corvette 427 6V.



The Testors Model Master Acryl line includes the correct shade of Chevrolet Engine Red (see here: http://www.hobbylinc.com/htm/tes/tes...source=froogle) but I'm not sure if Revell's Aqua Line include it - they're not readily available were I live.

HTH

Cheers,
Andrew
