This is the newly tooled '62 Vette from Revell. Color is Rally Red with Testor's Wet Look clear. Also used the Model Car Garage Corvette P/E detail set to complete it. Used different tires rather than the ones on the kit.

Thanks bro, no secret, just a good, old fashioned wetsanding, polishing and waxing and a generous help of patience. I use the Micro Mesh sanding cloths,Tamiya Compounds and Maguiar's Cleaner Wax for my finishes. If you purchase or subscribe to Scale Auto Magazine you will find a good painting tutorial on my technique. Should be in the next issue for next year.

I'll have to look up what the P.E. parts are used. Paint IS better than excellent. In '62 I thought it was about the limit of "cool," thanx!
