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/

I saw this when you posted in one of the Facebook groups. It is a beautiful build - the paint really pops! Inspirational work.

Beautiful work!

Sweet! Nicely done!

Wow! A beautiful build!

Really nice work on this. I only have one "big rig" in my stash, and it's this kit - I'm hoping to do a better job that I did when I was a kid. You've really created a fine presentation.

This is going to take the cake at any model show. I keep looking at it and keep seeing more cool details.

Another epic build! I love seeing these things. I think it's awesome and needs nothing else - maybe an antenna or two, or maybe not. It is really creative. And the body panels would discolor over time anyway, right? The rigor of flying ...

Really looks great so far. How many times a day do you have to reboot it?

Really outstanding work on this!

I know this was back in 2019 (which was last week, right?) But, it's great seeing the work you did on this chassis. Did you finish the build? Do you have more in-progress pictures?

That is a beautiful build! Nice work - looks perfect.

Same here. Although when ol' Shelby was still alive, I'm sure he'd gone after them for that. I was so looking forward to this kit.

That turned out to be a pretty nice land yacht! Well done!

Nice. There was a dirt track near where I grew up - I can just imagine this running there on Saturday night!
