hpiguy Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 A newer release from Revell, similar to the Vette racecar I reviewed. Low parts count and prepainted glass should make for a nice weekender build.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XpfWDc82oxI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrObsessive Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Thanks for posting this Chris! Your review answered a question I've been wondering about the C7 'Vettes. I'm one of those that likes more detail......particularly in the engine and chassis area. I was hoping that the new gen car shared more with the C6, but looking at the chassis, they are different as far as the floor pan shape. I get Revell's point of wanting to make this a sort of quick builder, but I'm a little disappointed that this one doesn't have more of a parts count, for what's an iconic car. I may grab one down the road just the same------I could always mix and match parts to suit what I need. It does seem that as far as running gear (rear mount transmission and engine) the C7 shares a lot with the C6, so that's a plus there.

Brett Barrow Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 (edited) I have one. It has it where it counts. Body shape is bang on, wheel and tire size is bang on, stance right out of the box is bang on. Only thing that jumps out at me is the headlights aren't quite right and it's going to be hard to get the LED "boomarang" looking right and I wish more of the black vents and tail panel were separate. And I much prefer this approach over the AMT Camaro with its 37-piece rear suspension and too-high stance.
