2015 Le Mans Class Winning Corvette C7R

Post by Shunter »

Something i started a while ago and decided to get back into it. Great kit with excellent fit of parts. Aside from the floor being missing from the kit it was great, Revell Germany were excellent with their CS and within two weeks i had the missing part.

Great start! I had the opposite experience with Revell CS, first and second time they never responded to the parts request, third time they did and sent me the wrong part, and now they haven't responded to my request for the correct part again! Think at this point I'll just put black headlights in to avoid pushing off finishing it at this point.

Very nice start. I have the C5 with the Scale Motor Sports detail kit in the to do pile. I hope to get it started after I move.

Great start! I've been following this on Instagram and you've made some good progress. Will you be using aftermarket decals for the Le Mans livery? As you probably know the kit decals are for the 2016 24 Hours of Daytona while the kit itself is the 2015 spec C7R, so 2015 Le Mans decals would be a perfect choice.

Looking great so far! I've been meaning to build mine for ages but I'm terrible at yellow. Your seat especially looks great, and I look forward to seeing more.

Great work Shayne. I didn't realise the Corvette drivers carried a big container of steamed rice or dumplings with them in the backseat ; )

Looking good Shayne, the yellow really pops - looking forward to see it with decals on.
