Jonathan Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 (edited) Does anyone make this top for either the 1/25 AMT or 1/24 Revell/Monogram Corvette? http://www.corvetteblogger.com/2015/04/21/1954-corvette-with-rare-bubble-top-sells-for-88000-at-barrett-jackson-palm-beach/ Edited May 20, 2016 by Jonathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Kucaba Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 I don't believe I've ever seen that in a kit,And I started building in 1958. I do believe there were some regular tops molded clear thru the years,but not for the years '53- '55. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socal76 Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Mike, wasn't that offered by Scale Dreams resin which was only around about '84-'85? They did the Corvette Nomad and another trans-kit I can't recall right now. Might not even been called Scale Dreams but they were in one of the modeld mag's back then.

Mike Kucaba Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 I have all of the Scale Dreams resin that I am aware of . I read that they did a transkit for a GTO kit but never saw it. The Scale Dreams I have are the Nomad, Corvair, Stingray, And the Indy concept . The only Corvette after giving t some thought that would have a top like this was one made by IDEAL. It was a large scale toy that could be taken apart.That top would be interesting to make a pattern of and vacuum form it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snake45 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 One of the AMT Corvette roadsters had an all-clear hardtop. Might have been the '67. Of course, that doesn't help here.Didn't someone do a 1/24 Mako Shark (I) diecast that included the clear top? I don't mean the AMT snapper kit. Dunno if that top, if you could find one, would work for this or not.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
