Guest Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 In light of the recent reissue of this kit, this is my build from the last issue, done shortly after it was issued. http://www.mynetimages.com'> http://www.mynetimages.com'> http://www.mynetimages.com'> http://www.mynetimages.com'> http://www.mynetimages.com'> http://www.mynetimages.com'> http://www.mynetimages.com'> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeeBee Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Very nice build, what was it like to put together ? I'm tempted to add one to the stash ..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slusher Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 A very nice looking build Lee. Great paint and foil. those kits flew off the shelf and yours is the first one l have seen posted. thanks.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 This is actually the release from about 10 years ago or so. It built up just fine. The one thing I did was to cut the front pan from the chassis and mold it into the rest of the body. If you do not, you have a unrealistic seam.

surfjunke Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Very nice clean build. I have always liked this kit. Will have to grab one of the reissues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cortinanut Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Very nice! I did the same thing with the front pan when I built this one recently--it seemed the only reasonable solution to that problem. Nice work with the paint on those wheels! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Looks good, I always did like these little mini Corvette Buicks lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Thanks again, and glad to help make them more realistic. Sure would like to see a new tool with a better chassis and interior. The could keep this body, it's fine, just tool up some interior parts, and a new chassis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzTom Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Nice build, like the color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovefordgalaxie Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Great build!!! This car in person is unbeliveable tiny, looks like a real baby Corvette. I know a guy that removed the stock engine from one, and installed a 250 Chevy six into it. gearbox was from a Dodge Dart, and rear end was from a Ford Maverick, with a shortened housing to fit the Opel. That thing was a widow maker... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shardik Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 I learned to drive in one of these. I've got the reissue on order and will paint it canary yellow with black interior to match that one. I hope I can do as nice a job on mine as you did on this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
