On her wheels. Stance is not perfect but it’s stock and I did not modify the kit stance. Not bad , usually I have to modify the stance on most kits. All four hit the ground . Now for the little details. Side pipes might be fun as it’s a photoetch cover over the pipes.

Installed the chassis and interior in the body with no fit issues at all. I really like this kit.

Thank you Steph. This is my first one. I have some starter and bbr kits in 1/43 but never built them. I had a friend from the Bay Area that built 1/43. He gave me a few kits and I did not realize how expensive these little guys were. I bought them at swap meets for a really reduced price. This corvette was purchased for the great sum of $2. And it’s a better model than the starter , bbr kits. I have put the chassis in the body with the interior and no fit issues at all. Fits better than any of my model factory hiro kits. I traded a tamiya 1/24 Porsche kit for the 1/43 monogram cobra. If it’s half as good as this kit I will be very happy. I built this as a relief from the mfh kits and big 1/8 kits. I’m really liking this scale. You hardly use any material at all. The only problem is me, as the parts go flying across the room with my tweezers. But I have developed new skills to pick up these tiny parts. Thank you and you should try one. I think you will have fun.

More finished. Really cool kit. Fit is great . This is out of box.

Cool. Please send pics

And thank you

David I did not realize how cool these kits are. The fit is better than most 1/25-24 kits. I know they fit better than a very very expensive mfh kit. I’m building this out of box. But there is a lot of potential for extra detailing. I have a bbr Ferrari 246 Dino and the detail on the body is great but there is no suspension detail and those kits cost a lot. I’m very surprised these did not take off, especially in Europe. I’m trading a Porsche model for a 1/43 cobra kit. Hope that’s just as good as the corvette

A monogram 427 corvette in 1/43. From 1/8 scale to 1/43? Am I crazy ? Yes I am. Building this as an out of box kit to clear my mind of big scale and mfh kits. Pretty cool little kit. Bought it for $2 at our club contest. Painted her marina blue) automotive) with a very reduced clear sprayed thru a single stage pasche air brush. The rest of the colors are testors orange for the engine and tamiya paints for everything else. I have several bbr and starter kits in 1/43 and they are not as detailed as this monogram kit. Hard on the eyes but it’s a blast to build. You hardly use any materials at all. I can really get interested in this scale. If my eyes hold out. It’s a very fun kit. The fit is fantastic. Very surprised for such a small kit. Hope you like.

Hope everything is good. Are the focus paints still available? I have variety of kits you might like.

Hello Big John, it is a mpc kit that I cut out the huge engine mount. The tires are from Indy cals . Their decal and tires are great.
