Looks like that primer layered out smooth. Should work great for the dark green.

Thanks Ed! I don't like the instructions on this model! Parts are included, but there is no mention of that part being used anywhere. There is a fan shroud on the parts tree, but no where in the instructions is it called for. I included it on my Corvette! I have started sanding the primer coat on the 'Vette hood and in some spots, The primer ran so I made sure it was flush before I add another coat, a little more sanding and paint.    More Corvette to come... |

I have finished the interior of my '68 Corvette. Since this is a L89 car and not an L88, I tried to create a radio in place of the block off plate that L88s have since they have no radios.    More Corvette to come... |

Thanks Joe and Al! I happen to like the C3 Corvettes better than any of the other Corvettes. Yes, they handled and performed better than the C3s, but the C3 Corvettes looked far better than the others and came with the awesome big block engines.,

I painted the Corvette this afternoon with Dupli-Color Forest Green Pearl over Dupli-Color Scratch Filler & Primer. Came out rather well. Just a little blushing on the roof which will polish out. A good paint job! Now to let this dry for a couple of days and then polishing and clearcoat.    More Corvette to come... |

I started looking at the instructions again and then I Googled Corvette engine compartments and then I Googled expansion tanks and windshield washer tanks. With the help of my Revell '69 Corvette Yenko instructions, I figured the location of the expansion tank and the washer bottle and I installed them on the passenger side inner fender of my '68 Corvette. The expansion tank is not listed in the '68 Corvette instructions and the windshield washer bottle is not listed on the '69 Corvette Yenko instructions. This is a case of both maybe correct, but both are wrong for their exclusions.    More Corvette to come... |

I started polishing the Forest Green Pearl paint this morning. So far, I have the roof and the hood polished and the body is next. I burnt through in a couple of places on the hood and I tried to touch up those spots, but they stand out like a sore thumb! After repeated polishings, they still stand out, so the alternative is to repaint the hood again.    More Corvette to come... |
