C6 kit is OUT

99civichic · #1 07-07-2005, 08:29 AM

Stopped by Hobby Lobby yesterday after work and there it was....3 of 'em...Revell has released the C6 Corvette kit. I thought they aimed for a fall release? Who cares. It's out. And....I didn't buy one! What was I thinking?? But then again, the torture of looking at it and not being able to build it...I just couldn't take it. That's my excuse....that, and the saving $5 by finding it at Walmart eventually...Then, I went to Hobby Town USA and walked out with the yellow version of the Tamiya Ferrari F50...I think I got it cheap, what do those usually go for?

how much did you get it for?

Eh, it really wasn't that good a deal. It was between the Enzo and the 360 Spider, so it just looked like a good deal. I paid $25. Doesn't bother me any, I only have 3 Tamiya kits and I got them so cheap (ie: $4 for a sealed GT3) that paying full price every once in a while isn't so bad. (Unless it's the Enzo)

The Revell Viper is out as well.
I think I paid about $27 for my red F50 and $40 for the clear one, that was when the kits were first released.

Geez, is nobody really interested in the C6? The F50 is getting much more attention!!

I'm buying one tonight

I'm interested in the C6 Corvette. I have all my parts cleaned up and ready for primer and paint as soon as the weather permits.

SWEET. How does the kit look? Pieces fit okay? How's the detail? (I'm assuming you already have it)

I've started this kit too, and the pieces fit great so far. I haven't test fit the glass, which was a bit small on the recent Viper kit. I'm sure it'll be fine.

You find this at the Lewisville Hobby Lobby or another one? I was just there yesterday and I didn't see it. Then again, I wasn't really looking for anything.

I found them at the one in Denton, it's on the way home from where I work. I haven't found the one in Lewisville yet, where is it? (I did find a Hobby Town and a Michaels though) They were on the bottom shelf!

The one in Lewisville is in the shopping center on Main Street and Old Orchard. Right by the Sack n' Save.

Yeah, so after a week of driving by Hobby Lobby on my way home from work, I just couldn't take it anymore. I stopped and searched the place until I found them, and I bought them all. Both that were left. I've already knocked some of the teeth out (opening the grill, it looks like teeth), if I can find a Wal-mart with primer in stock it'll be primed and ready to be painted this weekend. I just may build one yet this summer.

Man, that's a pretty car.
