Matt Bacon Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 Far from my best work, and if I'm honest, I'm glad to get it off the bench at last. Work hassles and COVID have sapped my mojo, and holidays and the garden have eaten into bench time, so I'm looking for a restart for the Autumn. The kit fought me all the way, some of which reflected its age, some my ineptness... It's a comprehensive kit, with parts for many versions of the Corvair, but I'd only recommend it if you're a regular builder who gets their kicks from beating recalcitrant plastic into submission or you absolutely have to have a Corvair on your shelf. best, M. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
70 Sting Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 That turned out great! Been looking past this kit whenever I see one… might have to reconsider. 🤔 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 Great looking modified Corvair. Thes were terrors in their class in SCCA racing. You captured the look of the trim and paint work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbowser Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 Very cool! I like the added sheetmetal on the back windows and opening the vents on the hood. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark 23 Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 Nice build. I found some NOS Stinger decals on ebay so of course I had to go out & buy the AMT Prestige kit. You are right about the kit & the build it had me going crazy at times. I somehow lost one of the headers, & that's all I need to complete. I'm gonna modify some parts box headers & then it will be done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Chernosky Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 Built one these myself along with a stock version.  Yours turned out great. You are right it wasn't the best kit but you perservered. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy grumpy Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 Great job on the Corvair, always liked that car even when it had all the bad press, which was totally underserved IMHO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Bacon Posted September 28, 2022 Author Share Posted September 28, 2022 Thanks, gentlemen... with a bit more distance from the battle to finish the build, I'm remembering WHY I wanted to have a Stinger on my shelf! I don't think anyone will ever do a Corvair again, so we have what we have. best, M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
