Casey Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 (edited) OMG, mall show circa...1982? Any particular reason you are looking for a resin hood versus a kit part? The Monogram '65 hood is pretty much what you have pictured. Edited December 7, 2017 by Casey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snake45 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 58 minutes ago, Casey said: The Monogram '65 hood is pretty much what you have pictured. Yup, that's a '65-'66 big block hood, and it is indeed found in SOME issues of the 1/24 Monogram '65 Vette kit (and possibly the '66 Penske racer, I don't remember). But this hood doesn't really fit if you're looking to put it on an AMT or MPC or Revell 1/25 kit. This hood was found in the original annual MPC '66 Vette, which Modelhaus once reproed. Others have resin "'65-'66 big block hoods" in their lines, but many/most I've seen have been copies of the hood from the AMT '66 roadster kit, which is actually a custom hood along the same general idea, but is NOT an accurate representation of the actual '65-'66 Chevrolet Vette big block hood. (Interestingly, the AMT '66 Vette Coupe kit had a 427 engine but not the big block hood, while the '66 roadster kit, with the humped custom hood, had only a small block engine.)

To repeat: The original annual MPC '66 Corvette kit had this hood. The Monogram '65 Corvette that has the red built model as box art has it, though it's 1/24 and you'll probably have trouble matching up the hood bulge with the "stinger" that carries over onto the body, but if you want to build it hood-up that might not be a problem for you. Also, Greg, a member here, might have the hood you need in resin. See this thread: Edited December 8, 2017 by Snake45 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Can-Con Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 I'm pretty sure Time Machine Resin has that hood in 1/25. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
