This kit fit together perfectly. The first 6 pics or so in my progress gallery have the complete kit assembled without glue. The headers are tacked down with a piece of tape, but otherwise this kit fit together, and stayed together very nicely.

I did shave off a little bit of the bottom of the body at the bottom of the windshield so that it did not touch the airbox.

i am almost finished with the lemans 2000 c5-r #63very clean! look for mine in the coming week!

Looks like a really nice kit.. I have to get me one of theese and place it beside my C5-R :O



Is it TOTALLY box stock except for CF decals? Cause I really like the way the wheels are placed if you compare to the C5-R..
Really nice model you have there.. be proud

how did you get the hood to open like that? on mine it came molded on. did you cut it away or did it come like that and where did you find this kit. when i finaly get some money , i will probably buy another racing kit and this might be it.

it´s the Revell C5-R.. I cut it open myself.. I thought it was sad to see so nice engine detail and no hatches to open.. So I opened up front and rear as you can see.. Let´s see what we can with the C6-R then..

Thanks

The ride height and wheels location is box stock.

I added CF decals, PE for the marker lights on the door, and the wing uprights. The Simpson Decals on the seatbelts were from an old C5-R decal sheet.

This thing is beautiful!!! I didn't know this kit was even out yet. Great job. What scale did they release this in? Hopefully 24th and not 25th.

It is 1/25th scale, same as the C5-R kit is.

What decals are there in this kit? and do you perhaps any more pics of the WIP?

There are decals to do the 63 and 64 LeMans cars, and there are decals to do the 3 and 4 ALMS cars. A pic of the decal sheet is in the box contents gallery I posted.



Thanks for the great feedback guys.

I agree with everybody before me! That car looks AMAZING! I saw that at my model shop, but I passed it up for a regular Z06

[klutz_100]

That's a great looking build as usual.

The only thing that I don't really like about it is the safety net by the window - it looks terribly "thick" or is that just the photos?

Congrats!

Looks great Matt! Did you mention that the front fender vents were molded open? Did you have to mess with the simple suspension? Or was that just the goof on teh boxart?

[CADguy]

Thanks all, I really appreciate the feedback

Klutz_100 - The window net is out of scale for sure. An aftermarket or scratchbuilt version would be much more believable.

Bluebaja - You're right the fender louvers are molded open, I didn't have to do any special work to get them like they are. Those are my most favorite feature of this kit I think. I did not have to modify the suspension at all. The box art does look off, and I think it was that the front wheels did not get pushed onto the metal axles far enough, and the rears got pushed on too much, and look to sit too far inside the wheel wells.

I just ordered this kit, hopefully I will be able to finish it as well as yours did.
