bisc63 Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Pretty sharp! Was there a WIP thread? I missed it if so. Love that metallic gray color; very classy look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bainford Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Wow, very cool! I always thought the Corvair Monza showcar was particularly interesting. Nice clean work on this one. I don't recall ever seeing one of these built before. Is this a plastic kit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I added some pics to my original post and this is my new and last posting on the car. Thanks for the complements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Glen, It is an old 1/24 Tamiya kit. However, I did a lot of scratch building to get it here. See my original post, 'Monza GT Corvair'.

It's a kit, but definitely not an 'out of the box' build. See my reply to member Kah Puts for details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unclescott58 Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Very nice. I too had no idea that a kit of this car was available. Who makes it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 (edited) Very nice upgrade of a kit that's really more toy than model as it comes. Looks great. Edited February 5, 2022 by Ace-Garageguy TYPO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember seeing the kit in Auto World catalogs back in the early 1970’s. It was 1/20 scale if I remember correctly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
