I have the Corvair in my stash - picked it up when R&D was still around. From looking at it, I always thought it looked pretty good. Of course, I've not attempted to build it yet....
If I recall correctly, it does seem to have the uphill chrome trim like the AMT 53-55 Corvette, of which I assumed it was based on. But anyway, I figure it's a start for a cool car. Someday...
