Nice job. I have this kit and my concern is masking and painting that boot stripe. Good job there.

Fairly easy to do with this model (and I usually hate doing masking) and everything fit well, but you need to check after you paint some parts as some are a bit thight. My main problem came with the gravity color yellow paint, its the perfect color for the CR.7, but you need so many coats! I really appreciate that they already painted part of the windows...save a lot of time and masking.

You did a great job! The decals I found of very good quality and took me 5 hours and a gallon decal solution to apply. Even with a low parts count, the engine and interior are well detailed.

I applied them almost without solution, I learn by experience that bad decals react poorly to microsol, especially the decals from Revell USA. I really appreciate this kit tho.

Chris I saw that you did the german version, the decals are different quality. For example, on my version, the little arrow+hatch that go on the windows were too transparent when place on black color. you also got more decals I think (a belt at least). I have some german revell kits (like the chevelle SS), will try to do them in the coming months, curious about the quality, especially the decals.

Album info

By far the best model I build from Revell. Everything fit really well, except some minor things. You need to glue the body to the framework, otherwise there is a lot of gaps.
Used the dedicated yellow from Gravity color: you'll need a lot of coats with this paint. I add some details in the cockpit, but sadly you barely see them once built.
As usual with Revell USA, the decals are the weakest part. A couple of minor decals dont show on black and some are very fragile and very thin (like the corvette logo on the front window). But in the end I got great results. Very cool looking racing car.
