Completed: Revell 2005 C6 Corvette
This is a kit I finished today. It's the Revell C6 Corvette. The model is painted in Tamiya Mica Red over Tamiya Italian Red, then cleared with Tamiya clear and poilshed. I stripped the chrome off the kit wheels and resprayed them with Tamiya Silver Leaf.
Overall, it's a decent kit. I had some fittment problems in the end. Once the hood hinge was on, the body wouldn't fit on the chassis like it should. The problem was that the hood hinge interered with the air-intake/filter on top of the engine. I removed the hinge but then the hood still wouldn't fit flush with the body so I removed the filter and glued the hood on, for the most part, making it curbside. Still... it makes a decent shelf model. Thanks for looking.

Looks great
 Sorry to hear about the fitment issues. I'm so disgusted w/all the paint problems recently I'm laying off models for awhile.

Re: Completed: Revell 2005 C6 Corvette
Amazing paint job! I'm...amazed. And your tips look great! What did you do, are they the kit peices? I like the brakes too.

Looks absolutely great, the use of a red base coat and the Mica red makes the paint look miles deep, sorry to hear about the hood issues.

Re: Completed: Revell 2005 C6 Corvette
Great shine on that! Looks really nice.
Turned metal tips in the kit? That's unusual for Revell, I guess.

Bee-Yoo-Tee-Full! I love the paint, and the rims are much nicer than the stock chrome. Great job detailing the brakes and all, pity about the engine, though. Still, nice work!
