Completed: Revells new C6-R Corvette.

I got my hands on this new kit and couldn't wait to get it done. I chose to build the 2005 LeMans winning 64 car.
The parts count may be little, but this car built up quite nicely.

The body is nicely proportioned, and detailed, right down to the open fender louvers.

The engine is only 4 or so parts, but painted correctly they produce a believeable compartment.

The color is CobraColors Millenium yellow. Most of the visible parts of the interior were covered with SMS carbon fiber decals.

The wing uprights were scratchbuilt to match those used on the LeMans car.

I still have to create and add full side windows, as the kit only came with 1/4 windows, and the LeMans raced car had full.
There are some other details missing in the kit like rear marker lights on the rear fender. A decal for those, the side marker lights, and the fuel fillers would be nice.

That looks amazing. I didn't know that the stock C6 and the C6-R were so different.

Nicely done as usual, Matt! The finish is great and the carbon fiber applications are really well done.

The wheels came chrome, I stripped the chrome, and the clear coat under the chrome, and reprayed them aluminum with a clearcoat and smoke wash.

Thanks guys.

Re: Completed: Revells new C6-R Corvette.

Wow, a nice kit falls into the hands of a superb builder, and THIS is what you get! I have to say, I like the way the bare chassis looks, so low and batmobile-esque.
Good work, Matt!

Re: Completed: Revells new C6-R Corvette.

Wow, what a great build and excellent detail for such a low parts count.

Nice job Revell, I am normally a Tamiya/Hasegawa snob but may have to go out and grab this one..
