Body looks pretty accurate to me.

midnightprowler Body looks pretty accurate to me.
It "looks" like a Corvette, but it is very inaccurate to both a stock Corvette (which is what the casting is of) and the actual race car it is supposed to be.
I won't point out the issues, some will see them and it's better for those who can't if they don't know where to look.
Still a fun little side project.
Yeah I knew it wasn't accurate to a stock corvette, but I'm not that familiar with the race car. As far as the paint, sure looks like some sort of silicone or oil contamination. Maybe you didn't get all the release agents off.

If you knew it wasn't accurate to a stock Corvette why did you say "Body looks pretty accurate to me." when the race car is based on the stock car?
It looks like a silcone issue, but it isn't. Assuming they even used silcone during casting, the body was cleaned properly before it was primed and it took all the paint well except the old acrylic.
The same reaction happened twice, even after stripping the first paint job with a chemical many use to eliminate silicone on plastic and resin.
So not a mold release issue; an old paint issue (as I mentioned) most likely. Note that the subsequent Tamiya paint did not have the reaction the Gunze did.
This is looking really good. It's been a while since I've read what stripping agent to use with resin. Whadja use to strip the paint on that?

Looking sharp. Those yellow pipes look great
Thanks,

very nice! I want to build a whole bunch of this era GT cars.
keavdog very nice! I want to build a whole bunch of this era GT cars.
Thanks!
That was a grand era, and then there was Can Am...
Good lord. Bite my head off. Just making a general comment that overall it looks good. I don't know every nuance about the race car. I've seen far worse. Believe me ill refrain from commenting on anything you post from now on.
That was fun to watch, thanks for the post.
I can understand you wanting to do another, you've made me want to do a little resin car myself. Last one was more decades than I'd care to admit, in 1/87th.

Glad to have inspired someone, Thanks!
A friend building a little Sunoco Lola got me fired up to do this one. Now you're making me think about grabbing one of the half dozen 1/87th kits I have. They are a blast too.
Scale-Master midnightprowler Good lord. Bite my head off. Just making a general comment that overall it looks good. I don't know every nuance about the race car. I've seen far worse. Believe me ill refrain from commenting on anything you post from now on. Lee, I didn't "bite your head off". I don't appreciate your passive/aggressive tone. And no, that's not what you commented about that I responded to. It's still in this thread; I simply pointed out that you made comments that were contradictory and wanted clarification. If you don't like people trying to get the facts straight please don't make comments like that. Please do refrain from commenting on my posts if it makes you feel better. Thanks!
I'm sorry, very stressed right now. I took your comment more aggressive than perhaps you meant it, it's hard to tell a person's real tone in words you cant hear. I was acually for some reason thinking of the Corvette Grand Sport. I got some of my comments backwards. I meant that it looks pretty accurate to a stock 66, but perhaps not a race variant. I'm not familiar with the race variant you are building, but looks pretty comparable to the old Monogram 66, which was pretty good, not perfect, but good. I hope you will accept my apologies. Very nice build btw.
