Bob, thanks for checking back in. Ironically the car that took first place was the same kit, but done in the ALMS livery as white #4. The guy did a nice job and had a lot of details that I overlooked.

Enemeink,

       Thanks for looking in, the kit is made by Revell.

Nactflieger,

     Appreciate the comment, it was a fun build.

Update, this corvette won second place in the auto competition division at the ASMS show back on the 9th of Oct.

Thanks Stephen.  Hopefully I'll get around to finishing my C6-R sometime soon.

Again, nice build.

Thanks for looking in, Bob. I soaked the wheels in Simple Green for a few days (probably a lot longer than needed), then cleaned them off with a soft brush. Then painted them with testor's aluminum. If I had the metalizer non-buffing I would have used it for a smoother finish, but I was out. HTH.

Nice build Stephen.  One question-what did you do to the rims?  I have the same kit in process and I want to 'de-chrome' the rims and get the finish that you have successfully achieved.

Thanks

Bob
