AMT '63 Corvette Sting Ray Split window

Post by BlackSheep214 »

Started this last week and moving fast. The kit:

Image

Kit comes with 3 engine options; stock 327, custom engine, street rod engine and optional fuel injection.

I chose big block with fuel injection engine.

I will be painting this one Burgundy Red Metallic by Model Master - one of my old Model Master holdover from the 80s. Yes, it's still in good condition after all these years. Never been opened or used.

Neat-o!
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Finally, im back on this one. A week or so ago I started a light coat of Model Master Red Burgundy Metallic. Yes, this Vette will be painted Red Burgundy Metallic. :lashed:


Image


A light coat has been sprayed on the body and underside of hoods - meaning I have 3 choices of Corvette hoods :lashed:

Not sure which I will use.

Not liking the manifold set-up on the Vette. Going to upgrade to something a little better. Stay tuned...
