Corvette C-7R - my way

Hi guys

As a side project to my Star Destroyer, I have been building Revell's C-7R for a bit of a change.

However, I didn't go down the yellow road, I went down the black road. Thankfully, I didn't have any issues getting my body to fit on or have any interference in the engine and the hood areas.

I am painfully aware of the paint bleed at the rear and the other finish issues it has - I will try to fix that up soon. The rear wing is also slightly off which is of course something I fixed AFTER I took the photos. Opps.

















I took a couple of shots to show the interior before it went in as you don't get to see it all now







Well, that's it. It was a fun little side project and I'm glad I did it. It looks like a Corvette and to me, that's what matters. Plus it's in black and how awesome does black look on a Vette?!

Thanks for looking

Looks darn good to me! Black is always a good choice.

Excellent paint.  Black is hard to do well.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Stunning  :bow:

Yet another model that could pass as real with a different background.
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Thanks guys
I would be front row center on any thread someone would make on how to make a back drop using anything that isn't Photoshop (I don't have it) to make it look a little less like a show room car and more street machine

gimp.org is comparable to photoshop, and it's free. Loads of tutorials all over the Web, including YouTube.
