Ken McGuire Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 I want to build the Historic Racing Miniatures 1963 Z06 Corvette (a resin transkit) which uses the Revell '67 Corvette as a donor kit. The HRM resin is 1/24 scale but I noticed that box art for the various Revell / Monogram kits (convertible / coupe) shows the scale to be 1/25. Is that a mistake on the box art (with the Revell kits actually 1/24)? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blown03SVT Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 The older Monogram Black rat kit is 1/24th scale I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that a mistake on the box art (with the Revell kits actually 1/24)? There are both 1/25 and 1/24 scale '65-'67 Vettes in the Revell lineup, some Revell 1/25 and some Monogram originated 1/24 kits. I think this kit would be the best donor: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blown03SVT Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Ahh, I forgot about that kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Ahh, I forgot about that kit I think it's what became of the '65 kit, or at least the most recent variant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddyfink Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Don't forget the reboxed Accurate Miniatures Grand Sport Vette from Revell. That is all race car and it is 1/24th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmk Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 (edited) Don't forget the reboxed Accurate Miniatures Grand Sport Vette from Revell. That is all race car and it is 1/24th The 60's Grand Sports were tube framed hand-built race cars that had very little in common with production 'Vettes except for general external appearance. I believe the Z06's were RPOs based on production cars. (kind of like the ZL1s and ZR1s of the 60's and 70's) Edited August 27, 2013 by dmk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george 53 Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 They were. The Grand Sports are specially made RACE cars. ZO6's were based on production cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeeBee Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 I would inquire to HRM about the scale of that Z06 transkit. Harold offers a transkit of the 1960 Cunningham LeMans Corvette for the Revell '58-'59 Corvette models, which are 1/25. I buy HRM kits from Island Collectibles and the default scale in their catalog for HRM products is 1/24, with no reference made for kits that happen to be 1/25. I contacted Ed @ IC and he verified that the '60 LM Corvette transkit was indeed 1/25. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Hamilton Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 It's a 1/25 if I am not mistaken. I have one of those, and I planned to combine it with the Revell '67. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken McGuire Posted September 9, 2013 Author Share Posted September 9, 2013 You fellows were right when you said to check with HRM. The scale is indeed 1/25 as Harold said he used the Revell '67 Corvette kit as his base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
