If I might make a suggestion... next time (since you are dealing with a circle) mask out the roundel so there is no blue. Unless the blue shows through on the real deal, then ignore my suggestion.

Unless the blue shows through on the real deal, then ignore my suggestion. a great suggestion and yes next time, because i don't plan on shooting this paint job again! for the most part V-R-M decals have not been transparent and didn't think twice about back ground colors.

always a little nervous shooting the final clear coat. all that time sanding ,taping , applying decals and can be all lost if you rush the clear coat and cause decals to wrinkle. got lucky this time.

Brilliant finish on all of them!

This is most likely my favorite project I've ever followed! Just mind blowing!

Wow!! The gloss finishes on all those bodies are just simply amazing.
And Ismael, how come I'm not surprised that this is a favorite build blog for you to follow and enjoy.

thanks again for the positive feedback and interest in build. the HRM convertion kit roadster is a great kit and comes with different headers then accurate miniatures for the big block 427 and a dash that is slightly different then the coupe. working on side pipes and using HRM headers for small block coupes. they fit much better then kit headers. HRM kit also comes with steering wheel with no spokes, center of steering wheel (spokes) are from photo etch parts kit MCG-2086 Model car garage and looks much better then kit steering wheel.

have been working on a few details and parts not included in any kit. 2 cars get full grills, one roadster gets the lower spoiler and one roadster gets a radiator shroud ?/ light mount.

Wow!!
All 3 body shells look fantastic. Each one with a completely different nose clip application just will make them further stand out from each other. What's more your gloss finishes simply POP! Once more we've got a modeler among us who models on a completely higher level then the average member here (specifically, me).
Keep these updates coming.

thanks Joel, they all have a different front end and makes for an interesting and fun build. car 67 was the easy one, paint the head light covers and good to go. #2 Sebring car got the sloppy taped head light covers and driving lights.

team corvette almost there, all models at some state of incompletion. mostly headers and side pipes. the roadster kit comes with a lexan windsheild and straight forward for the white car. the blue car raced with a slightly bigger windsheild and a upper moulding or frame. glued styrene rod to a plastic windsheild from accurate miniatures coupe. this one will be a prototype (definition i screwed up) made the top too squared off. i hope to cut this one down and use smaller diameter styrene rod.
