Here is my white body corvette after I've started the paint.   I still need to figure out what I'm going to do for the decals, but I think it's looking good so far.

After the paint dries, I'll polish it up, and add the clear.  this is a 3 color fade. I started with a tranparent orange matalic,  then moved back to a red metalic and trailing off into the dark back is a Grape Pearl.

I know the pic shows the orange looking more like yellow, I'll post up some better pics when I have some good light, and I get further along.

Probably not.  We all know I like "Shelf Queens" and I really like the way it turned out.  now I just need to finish it up and get me some good pictures of it.

I have another white corvette body coming so I'll need to see what I want to do with that one.   I need to design som decals for it,  I plan on keeping it simple with just a few sponsors, and a windsheild banner, one for the wing as well.

the wing has the same fade, it matches the back of rest of the body from red to purple.

it's a Tamiya paint stand.  works perfect for this size of body.  it also has a second carousel with clips for painting the smaller bits. 

West Valley Hobbies has them I think it was like $20.  Tamiya America Item #74522 | Spray-Work Painting Stand Set
