Revell's 2014 C-7 snap kit.

In primer:

This should be good. What's your plans for the build? OOB or all out?

OOB. She's a snap kit, pretty simple. Laguna blue, red and black interior. Just wanted to do a simple fairly quick build I don't have to do anything to.

Man that's a mere dream of mine to be able to do an OOB build Lee. Something to where I don't have to wonder where I'm going to put the radiator, place a fuel cell, wonder how I'm going to route fuel lines, cooling system hoses, transmission cooler lines and transmission shift linkage as well as engine mounts , transmission mounting/ bracing............arrrrgh!!!!

Will be watching your progress buddy.

You and me both! except for the subject areas... but I can not seem to leave 'well enough" alone
right now on ANY builds...

Just curious but what is a C-7? In my mind I see the aircraft, the DeHaviland Caribou.

Wow, I'm just the opposite. I have that freedom every day and on every build to just build it out of the box and make it look good with just the pieces in the box.


Looking forward to seeing more.

Thanks. C7 means seventh generation of the Corvette.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...

I must be getting old as I still love the lines of the 70s era Corvette Stingrays...

It's not getting old that's the problem. While I like the looks of the newer Vettes, The older ones like that 70 model there just look plain out cool!

LOL! I've always liked detail in modeling so I guess I shoot myself in the foot there. It starts with some ignition wires..................then throttle linkage.........anodized fuel fittings............and then.................you know the deal. I can't usually find all that in the box. I do envy folks who are content with what's in the box and build a beautiful model out of it though. This detail stuff is almost addicting............but on the other hand it's fun.
