This is awesome.

Oh man - this thing is cool! I can't believe I missed this earlier. Really like what you're doing.

This is awesome!

Oh man, this is cool!

Nicely built!

Can't believe I missed this earlier. What a killer build!

That's a lot of work there. Nice

Looking forward to seeing more of this one ...

Ha! Ha! I see I commented on that build, too. The old Monogram kit. Both are beautiful builds!

Beautiful work! That SA/FB - which kit did you use? Isn't the old Tamiya kit of the first gen curbside?

sharp!

I see a lot of potential here. starts popcorn ....

Nice. I've always thought these were such cool cars.

YES! Man, I love this build! We once had a well used 740 Turbo, man that thing was fun to fling around. Wish I'd kept it ...

I've always thought it'd be cool to model the entire line of Accords, Camrys, etc. - you know, standard cars. Of course, with a second copy of each one modified to taste. ? Nice work on the sedan and the wagon. and there is a kit I'd love to see reissued.

Very nice. I guess I missed one detail - what kit did you start with?

Welp - I preordered this kit, because I'm a sucker for the first generation RX-7. Has nothing to do with the one in my garage right now Yeah, I know. Series 3, different nose/tail treatment.

I'm glad you pointed this out. It looks really nice.

Amazing work. Tell us more about the scribing tools and tape that you're using ...

Oh yeah! Now you're talking! Nice!

That is a beautiful build!

Cool! I have my eye on those wheels, too. Just picked up the kit.

$41.95 - wow. I know inflation, etc., etc. But .... wow. This is just for the kit, in a commemorative box - or is there more to it? That aside - I'm glad this thread came up; I love the comparison of pros/cons of the different first Corvette kits. Monogram (or Revell) also released the '53 with decals (but not the correct wheels) for the Carrera Panamericana race. I think Fred Cady made a more complete set of decals. Someone briefly made aftermarket wire wheels that were correct. I had one of these transkits, but kind of lost interest and finally sold it several years ago on eBay. Might should have kept it! If you are able to find one, it is a beautiful casting. And since I've completely hijacked the thread - has anyone taken on the challenge of building this?

I think your build will be awesome - can't wait to see more!

Really looking forward to seeing this one! Not to hijack your thread, but have you seen this? 1963 Jaguar E-type Low Drag Coupe re-creation - when you said "outlaw E-Type", I thought of this. Is this the same car that you're using for your inspiration? https://journal.classiccars.com/2019/12/11/this-1963-jaguar-e-type-low-drag-coupe-re-creation-is-an-8-year-labor-of-love/
