Hi All

I've been a bit busy recently so I haven't got on here much.

Anyhow, got a couple of quick photos done of my Corvette last night whilst I was down the club. They're not the best quality, but I'm taking some better ones later for my website, so they'll be posted here too.

A quick run down of the model. Built straight out of the box, a nice model to build. The paint is Rover's Caribbean Blue straight on grey primer for the darker finish, then finished off with Zero Paints 2K clear (first time I've used it). The wheels are done with Alclad's Magnesium with their Aluminium and Stainless Steel used on the engine and exhaust.

Sweet looking Vette. The paint is very nice and clean.

The plates say C5, but it looks like a C6 to me.




It looks like the real thing.

I think I'll just build my own model. I already have the kit.
