Newest Corvette Model?

[Terry Sumner]

Anyone know what the newest model year of the C6 in a 1/25 scale kit is that's available? Or more specifically the C6-R maybe...?

[Casey]

AMT has both 2012 coupe and 'vert kits, and Revell's ZR1 coupe is their most recent, IIRC.

I think this is the most recent C6-R kit, but no idea on the model year:

The newest model year would be the ZR-1 C6 - which I believe came out in 2010 - so I assume it is a model of the 2009 car. 2009 was the first year of the ZR-1 high performance C6.

The C6-R was raced in 2005 - once again assuming things, that would probably be the 2005 model car year.

The Z06, which was just re-released, is a 2006 model year.

I have been researching these lately for the Cannonball Run community build - I am not an expert so you can check my facts;).

EDIT: Casey has it correct though - AMT has the 2012 C6s out. They are the unassembled promos though, so I hadn't considered those in my research

Oh, here are pics of the kits

2009 ZR-1

And the newly re-released Z06

The Z06 is a Corvette C5 (not C6 2005 and up) that was last released in 2004 as the Commemorative Edition with the special decals.

It sure would be nice of Revell would update the C6R to the current version. It is way wider.....
