Hey that was the kit I built as a kid and I loved that car it is in my opinion the coolest corvette style to me. Thanks for sharing it with us. 🙂Thomas over at The Model Hobbyist
63 split window vette looks nice. I've never used the compound Applicator before. I do use the Compound both Fine and Finish. It's like Simoniz for scale models. It's great if you have a thick paint layer but will remove the top layer since you see slight color pigment when your wiping the compound off.
The 63 Vette is a great car but the AMT kit was always a bit light. Wow!! Crazy price for that paint. Uhmm good luck. Naw, you'll be alright. Don't let that price change the way you spray. You'll be fine. Keep On Buildin' On. Paul
