My first for this campaign will be this superb Revell 2001 C5-R 'Vette. Straight from the box including the decals. No idea when I'll start it but it won't be too long.

Now that I am an hour from Daytona, I go to the 24hour race every year, with a guy that is a huge corvette fan, and huge a Porsche fan. Love endurance racing.

Will be watching Ian!

First thing to do, trace the mold lines with a marker and sand & polish them out:

Next, for my own reference, highlight the lift-off nose section, because I'm planning to build this one all opened-up and plumbed/wired to the best of my ability.

All separated now, the red 'scars' are where the knife & saw blades slipped and gouged the surface. After the photos, I filled them with Squadron fine (grey) filler and sanded them back with various grades of wet'n dry.

This is my 'serious' project to take me through the holidays and well in to the New Year. Stay tuned it could be fun, or it could be a complete dogs dinner, we'll find-out together.
