Jada Z06 Corvette

[pstreet]

this is the z06 kit from jada, picked it up at michaels on sale a while ago. i painted the shell hot pink, didnt like it much so i put it away for a few months. saw it again yesterday and it went in the paint stripper, now its testors candy red over a gold base. i built and painted most everything else tonite while the first few coats of paint dried on the body.

the chrome on the wheels is pretty bright, almost too bright


i didnt do much to the interior, i was going to carpet it in that green faux mink but opted against it, the mats arent glued in either.


for the engine i used a few different blacks for some contrast, not showing up too well in the picture though





and the first few coats of candy red, few more coats and a few of clear and it should look straight.

thanks for looking. questions, comments and concerns are welcome.

ha, i just noticed that too as i scrolled down the page.

hows the mustang? thats the only kit i didnt get to inspect since it was still in a sealed box, where as the camaro, corvette and gt500 were all open for looking. might go back for the gt500, the camaro looked disappointing.

had a few minutes to tape off the glass and paint tonite.

The wheels are ways too big.

The mustang is nice, I really had fun building it. I wish the rear wheels sat a little further towards the body, but otherwise I really love it. I just made minee OOB except that I changed the steering wheel to a flat bottom, as I HATED the standard wheel's appearance.













I can recommend this kit if the style suits you, big wheels and all!!! Very nice crisp kit thats firs together like a dream.

Sorry for the Hijack, hurry up and finish yours so I can see it!!
