Revell Corvette C5-R 2000 1/25 - FINAL REVEAL

[ryan81]

Hi guys, here is my finished Corvette C5-R from Revell.



Some shots of the interior:



Sadly the kit doesn't include locator pins like Tamiya kits, so the body had to be glued to the base (without spending time finding a way to lock it on). So here's the final look at both halves side by side




Happy with the result, especially to have got a good result on my first experience with yellow - beautiful but difficult colour to get right.

Any feedback or general comments more than welcome!

Beautiful Ryan! Great job!

[ryan81]

Thanks for the kind words fellas

[BigWall]

Very nice!

Any chance of using magnets to hold the body on? It's a shame to cover up all that detail work.

Thanks! I considered magnets or something of the sort but wanted to just get it finished as it had been a WIP for awhile. It was quite a tight fit inside so wouldve required a lot of magnets I would have though. Probably could have also fashioned my own locator pins too I guess - perhaps something for next time

Very nicely done! And I agree yellow is a pain to get right.

Thanks Peter

Nope, stuck to trusty Tamiya paints. Main body is TS-16 yellow, TS-26 pure white and TS-14 gloss black, all sprayed from the can
