Monogram 1965 Corvette

Supplied as an already started with the tyres missing and a few parts too. I had to radius the front arches (not done that before) as the wheel/tyre combination was slightly wider. I painted the interior matte black.

Broken picture links?

Nicely done! Red suits it. 

 

What scale?

Sorry, I don't understand.

Thanks dnl42, the red is the bare plastic. It's 1/24th scale.

I couldn't see any pics yesterday - got them now. It's a 'Vette, it's red; what's not to like!

Thanks guys. Yes it's bare red plastic. Getting spray paints is expensive.

Isn't everything these days!  Nice looking 'Vette, though.  I love '60s American iron, cars had soul then!

Very nice. I'm presuming "tyres missing" also meant "wheels missing" as it doesn't look like it's rolling on the originals. Perhaps that's a blessing if so, these 5 spokes suit it very well.

I use spray cans. Unfortunately the shipping cost is the same as the price of the cans so doubling the price.

No just the tyres were missing and I didn't have any tyres to fit so had to use a aftermarket pack of wheels & tyres.
