Documenting the detail I'll have to repaint after painting the whole car yellow. Any ideas how to do the "Corvette" label?

Documenting the detail I'll have to repaint after painting the whole car yellow. I won't mind this part as it's was done so horribly.

Managed to cut the roof with the tools shown. Sadly I slid the knife and made a dent on the roof. I'll have to fix that as the roof goes in the trunk (where you put it when you remove it).

Testing how the glass looks without the roof, to see how I'll have to modify it. I'm not too happy about the A pillars end at the top.

Oh! right... primer! let's prime all the things. This is my first time priming all individual pieces. Let's see how this works.

i am sure you can find decals as after market set for the corvette signs.... or get them printed in the worst case scenario. of course, it is not impossible to do it by creating a mask and painting... but that will be challenging probably 😉
maybe the decals you need can be found in one of the corvette sets....
