I got my hands on this new kit and couldn't wait to get it done. I chose to build the 2005 LeMans winning 64 car.
The parts count may be little, but this car built up quite nicely.

The body is nicely proportioned, and detailed, right down to the open fender louvers.

The engine is only 4 or so parts, but painted correctly they produce a believeable compartment.

The color is CobraColors Millenium yellow. Most of the visible parts of the interior were covered with SMS carbon fiber decals.

The wing uprights were scratchbuilt to match those used on the LeMans car.

I still have to create and add full side windows, as the kit only came with 1/4 windows, and the LeMans raced car had full.
There are some other details missing in the kit like rear marker lights on the rear fender. A decal for those, the side marker lights, and the fuel fillers would be nice.

Matt, that is a good looking model. You need to post that pic of your Z06 and the C5R with this thing. I thought that was an awesome dislay.
You and Bob are both modeling machines!

Hmm.. I have the C6 and C6 convertible in the stash, They may make a nice little display with this car and the Z06.

Thanks guys. I had a lot of fun with this kit.
Here are both C6 versions I've built sitting together.
