Mancuso Greenwood Corvette - Watkins Glen 1977
This is a 1/43rd resin kit by Starter from the early 90's.
The body casting was pretty clean compared to the other variants of this casting I have. (Must have been a low mileage mold.) But it had an inordinate amount of holes that needed to be filled. I'll take that issue over a crusty worn out mold that can really mess up details. At this point the brass parts have been attached and the stance has been adjusted. It's ready for primer. ![]()

I mixed the light blue using old Testors Pla enamels; 1108 Light Blue and 1145 Gloss White. Shot it last night.

The decals respond well to a hairdryer and decal solvent. They are not brittle but they are thin. I had to cut the front fenders and rear end decals into multiple pieces to deal with the contours. It took a good 2 and a half hours to apply these 6 decals.

Thanks!
I finished it last night. Will share the finished photos later today after the sun comes up and I can shoot it. |
