Scale-Master Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Baby '73 Vette, sort of... The nose (not shown) is an endura style closer to a '73 Vette and I'll keep the rear metal bumpers. The engine is not going to be the stock 1.9L 4 banger. It will have a turbo. Just a minor diversion from the heavy duty concentration work required for the Super Seven, been tinkering with this almost for a month a few minutes or an hour at a time a few times a week. Tamiya Camel Yellow, it's pretty loud in the direct sun... And it is an original AMT kit, that's what they are for, building, at least to me...

GTmike400 Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 That is pretty cool looking. I like the shape of it. It flows really well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrObsessive Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Ahhhhh.....what a cute little car!! 8) I like the color too Mark..........it suits it really well! It's hard to believe I can remember this car back when it was new ('73) I was in Junior High school or something like that back then. :mrgreen: I know what you mean about the heavy duty detailing............I've put the '55 Ford on hiatus for awhile so I can concentrate on less intense builds. It's a relief for me to get something completed for a change! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ismaelg Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Just a minor diversion from the heavy duty concentration work required for the Super Seven, Einstein said everything was relative. Your "minor diversion" already looks better than our "heavy duty" projects... Looking great. I agree with you. They are meant to be built...

Scale-Master Posted July 6, 2006 Author Share Posted July 6, 2006 Thanks everyone. I re-read my description of the engine I plan to use and I realized it reads like I am just turboing the 1.9L 4 cylinder. That engine is being replaced by something else, that will have the turbo. Not a 4 cylinder even. And I'm back to work on the 7 so I have no idea when this little pup will be done, like soooo many other projects I always seem to have the energy to start...

Zoom Zoom Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Neat little model (I used to work w/a guy who had a yellow Opel GT); I've always been amused by it's mini-Corvette appearance and have seen at least one of the 1:1's sporting a V8 and more Corvette styling cues. Also because of design similarities I have plans to make an Opel GT model into more of a mini 275 GTB, giving it a bit of Italian flavor :shock: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scale-Master Posted July 7, 2006 Author Share Posted July 7, 2006 That sounds very cool Bob. Hmmm, a German car built to look like an American icon converted to look like an Italian icon... Would it get a prancing calf on the fender? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
