Nick F40 Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 ha ha YES! I'm going to go with model Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george 53 Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 G'mornin Harry, I trust you slept well. Yeeesh,if this is a model like Nick says, whoever built it got pretty crazy with the details(like the defroster grid in the back window).But ya know, them rims look a little too shiney.I think they're turned aluminium, so,..... I'm goin with model, too.(hope we're right, Nick) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old-hermit Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 So far everybody says model but with the windshield wipers sitting high on the windshield I'd say real. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ricky12 Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 i think the tail lights look alittle fake for the real thing .i will say it has a lot of detail model model model model Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrObsessive Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 I vote model because the glass has that somewhat wavy look. Also as Rick mentioned, the taillamps don't have that "crystal clear" look to them. Just the same, if it is a model------it's FANTASTIC!!

Corvette.Jeff Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 im gonna go with model as well, teh tail lights dont look right. i also dont think they would put a defroster on a road racer, more weight=less power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corvette.Jeff Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 (edited) How much do you think a defroster grid would weigh???!!! just the grid or all the equipment? the grid its self with the wiring on either side aboout idk. all the stuff about 15-20 lbs. you have the grid, the wiring,the fuses, teh big metal box that sits under the seats, a whole bunch of stuff, how do i know? i had to take it all off my older z car haha i once knew a guy who was so concerned about wieght on his race car, that he made custom hinges for the doors because the stock ones wieghed to much.lol its all in good fun guys.

Harry P. Posted December 5, 2008 Author Share Posted December 5, 2008 ok, you guys got this one... it's a MODEL! 1/18 scale die-cast (who says die-casts aren't models???) Next ROM coming MONDAY! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrObsessive Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Kool!!! where can I get them? Since we know it was a diecast...........they obviously were custom made by them. Or tampo printed............ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted December 5, 2008 Author Share Posted December 5, 2008 It's a 1/18 scale diecast...probably tampo printed right onto the "glass". However... 1/24-25 scale defroster grid decals would be a problem, because they would have to be printed on clear decal sheet. Once you applied it to the glass, odds are that you'd see the clear part of the decal in one way or another, either because of bubbles or dust caught under the decal, or you'd see the clear film itself. Either way the "in scale" effect would be lost... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
