1957 Corvette C1 - wip
This is, what's in the box.
The color combinations out of the instruction sheet.
Some months ago, I already brushed the white wall tires.
Started with the 1957 C1. As usual I built components which are ready to paint.
After base coat, I decided to cut out the dashboard. I'm no fan of masking thus twice or so. The chance to get the paint ripped of with the tape is too high
Much better. So I'm able to paint it properly.
The painting of the main parts is done.
The base color is done. Nice.
The first layer of clear coat. It's not bad 😉
As you see, I painted the interior in a dark red as compromiss.
BMF is done. Ready for assembling.
Small steps to the finish line 🙂
It is done. A beautiful 1957 C1.

I have planed to have a couple of SILVER (Chevrolet) Corvette in my shelf. So I started the Project "My silver Corvette Collection".
In contrary to the 1953 C1 this was available in silver. Hooray! But if you follow the instructions, the sides weren't available in black. On silver it was only silver. My research on the internet showed me, that there was a dark anthracite. I guess, I'll paint it black anyway to follow the design thing of the Corvette.
It's necessary / important for me, to have all my Corvette in silver.
The other point is the black interior. Here it could be the same exception like on the 1953 C1: it probably will be red.
And nevertheless: modelling is fun and sometimes it doesn't have to be 100% original.
