'62 Corvette "Lola"

[spencer1984]

One of my current WIPs is Agent Coulson's '62 Corvette "Lola" from the ongoing TV Series Marvel: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. I'm using AMT's kit despite its inaccuracies because I already had it in my stash, and with all of the modifications it needed I figure correcting it wouldn't be that much more work.

My first steps were to correct the ridiculously undersized headlights and the too-tall front fascia:

I then scratchbuilt a new chassis to reflect Lola's flight capabilities:

Then the interior was assembled, and the extra panels and late-model shift lever were added:

Currently I have all of the major assemblies together, and will be adding the rest of the trim and details in the next few days:

Cool project. I enjoy that show.

Great idea and execution. How will you display it? Because if not in flight the unknowing will only see a nice corvette. And that is a nice looking chassis .

Very nice!

Suggestion: Look around for the Aoshima BTTF Delorean. It has suspension that shifts from road to flight mode. Maybe you could adapt it?

Not a big fan of Marvel, but I love the car.

Excellent work as always Spencer!

Thanks, guys! I plan on having her in ground mode only, though the thought of making a flight mode (or convertible - thanks for the suggestion, Brian!) had crossed my mind. I decided in the end that I prefer the "stealth" look, and anyone who looks under the hood or chassis can be surprised.

Awesome work, cool project from a good show.

This is an incredible project. At least SHIELD didn't use a '61. That would have made the project more work.
