You can use the readily available AMT 66 Wildcat for the interior because AMT didn’t update the interior for the 66. In other words, the 66 has a 65 interior. you can also use the engine from the 66 kit as it is identical to the one in the 65 annual. No luck on the hood though as the 66 hood is different from the 65. I have a bout three 65 wildcats to work on.

The 22 Corvette HTC (hardtop convertible) are available finally. Model Roundup and Spotlight Hobbies have them for sale now. I’ve ordered 3 each from both companies.

That’s what I was hoping for. Thanks

It was originally Tamiya racing green but I did not like it much. So I shot some Tamiya TS-9 British green over it then clear coated it with Tamiya TS-65 pearl clear. I like this much better! The pictures really don't do it justice. Before After Before After

Using the straight axle and double blower setup from the kit. Slicks are from an Round2 parts pack. Paint is Tamiya TS-52 lime green with TS-65 Pearl clear coat over a Tamiya matt white base. Front wheels are from the AMT 56 Ford kit. Thanks for looking all comments welcomed.

The white walls are from a newer AMT kit, I like this look.

Another one started in 2015, I had some problems with the paint, so I got another body from eBay for it. Nine years later I took another look at it and decided I could fix the paint problems on the old body. Tamiya paints, Matt white base with TS-17(?) yellow. From 2015 The 2024 repaint. Since I've discovered that yellow was not a factory color in 62, I may put the chrome revers wheels on it from the 58 Vette kit. I'll see how they look. Thanks for looking all comments welcomed.

I thought I would revisit some stalled projects, first up is this AMT 60 Corvette started in 2015. I just now got it painted. All Tamiya paints, Mica red, mica silver, pearl clear over coat.

Ummm. The new Vette does have pose-able steering, or at least it looks like it does. Haven’t gotten that far on my builds yet.

Got some updates, wheels are painted and rear axle is in. I guess I did something right as it sits level. I'll detail paint the wheel cross flags later and I have to check if all the tires are heading in the right direction.

This one is painted Tamiya racing green but I'm thinking of shooting Tamiya British racing green over it.

My solution: I heat the trans tunnel then place the interior Rob over it and push down until the rocking goes away.
