'68 Vette

Twenty year old Revell kit, and not a bad one too.

Wanted a contemporary look without changing the 'structure' too much, so de-chromed throughout, faired-in and cut down bumpers front & rear, steering wheel from a Tamiya R34, the rest is just paint. Tamiya Gunmetal, polished & buffed, not clear coated, a dark red interior which I carried through to the outside accents and finall a little carbon-fibre decalling on the valence.

Ta Daaaa !!

Wheels & tyres are 18" SA-70s from Aoshima and just don't look right. I'll replace them with 16" when I can, also need to source some brake discs, there's a set in the R34 spares but I'll need to perform a fair bit of surgery to get them to fit the Revell axles.

Hope you like it, AFN

Ian, that is an interesting approach to building a '68 Vette. I like how it turned out. I do like the wheels and tires on it as well. Good job man.
