Revell 1/24 corvette c6r

[CifeNet]

Hi,

This is my latest addition to my collection. Took about 3 months to build, but I took easy probably spending most of the build time during the weekend.

I used the SMS detail kit and took out the two doors. I initially wanted to also cut out the rear hatch and detail the rear end. But I decided be "sane" and gave up the idea.

Once awhile, I still think about opening the rear hatch, maybe I am regretting the fact that I should have done, or I could have done...

The Revell kit builds fine, with little or not fitting problems. The clear parts fit well and also the chassis fits to the under body without any issues.

There are problems with the kit- the front hood needs some sanding to fit in, the alignment of the front/rear wheels need work, and lastly the carbon fiber decals from the Revell kit does not look proper.

I think the SMS kit really enhance the overall appearance especially with the beautifully machined wheels and the diffuser. It has its own problem, mainly the decals for the blinkers are wrong (one side is included twice) and the transparency film for the windshield/window is hard to work with.

I took some photos and realized that I still need to correct the "windshield wiper", paint the blinkers, and correct the rear caliper location.

Anyway, I've said too much, here are the photos:





















Thanks for looking.

That's a super-stunner, looks amazing, and beautifully built. I guess you could have shaved the door panels down to scale thickness for more realism, but actually it looks pretty good on the model like it is, and the overall effect of the doors is great, I love how you can see those awesome interior details. Looks like a really nice kit too, so well done Revell.

Photography is amazing along with the build. Like bob stated the best c6r to date. I like the black background.

How did I missed your completed thread? The best C6R I have ever seen period, it might actually be better than the 1:1 in my opinion. Photography is top-notch also!
