BlackSheep214 Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 An oldie kit my sister did when we were kids. I acquired the same kit from a batch of model car kits I bought from a fellow member in another forum I frequent at. The box cover: The finished build. I painted it using Createx Pearlized Orange.

carl63_99 Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Nice work! I built mine 20 years ago. Love seeing other builds of a unique car! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Great looking Box Art and the paint finish looks great as well. I never realized how much the tail lights remind someone of the '70's Ford Torino GT tail lamps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very cool Thomas, and yeah David (espo) I knew I'd seen those taillights somewhere.😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantom Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Just about my favorite kit as a kid... I built and destroyed many. I was lucky to get an unbuilt kit a few years ago and built it the way it should be....Great job on this one!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HotRodaSaurus Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 I remember this being sold as Tom Daniel's personal Corvette as one version. I tried to order it from our local model shop(I'm in the UK) but at the time they said Monogram would only send them a few boxes of various models and only the most popular. So it was bit of a hit or miss, we usually got the show cars from Monogram, some such as the Li'l Coffin and Rommel's Rod. There may have been a change of export management as a couple of years later lots of hot rods and others became available especially the Early Iron series.

BlackSheep214 Posted February 27, 2021 Author Share Posted February 27, 2021 Thank you for the kind words. There are 3 other vintage Corvette kits I’d love to do again from my youth & teen years - Monogram Corvette SS (the yellow one), MPC Vette Van and the AMT Eckler’s Corvette Hatchback.
