Are those the kit decals? Is this a race car kit being done as a road car. Regards, Steve.

to many Steve's

Short of cutting across Jeklywekly, this is the first issue kit, produced only in Revell Germany boxing or as a pre paint from Revell USA. This preceded the first of the canary yellow C5R's (Daytona/Le Mans) which I'm sure is the same kit, different decals. The C6R is a radically different kit.

The C5R underwent many alterations during it's lifespan as you'd probably expect, and the version as kitted is in it's initial incarnation.

I will be putting up more piccies tomorrow I'm hoping to have it finished by Sun & Pt cruiser is right the version I have is the Revell Germany kit so I have to do all the decals which has been fun, I found the kit in my stash by chance when looking for something else and as soon as I saw it I had to do it

Works Corvettes at Le Mans (all my pics). Enjoy, Rich:
2000

2001

2002

2003

2004

2005 C6R

2006 From the big wheel

2007

2008

2009

and the only way to sign off - a burn out down the length of the pit straight immediately after finishing and winning GT1. It was the last appearance for the works team, and given the financial position of GM, probably for some time. Corvette was the one part of the US operation that was making money, so who knows what will happen next? The white 'Vette is one of the Luc Alphand private entries.
