Maisto 2006 Corvette Z06

[Snake45]

Bought this one last month at the local toy show for $15. Pretty clean; not much Snake-Fu to work on it. Sanded the tire treads. White-stemmed the front parking lights. The A-pillars needed a little black touchup, which I did with a gloss black Sharpie Professional. Surprisingly, there are no separate taillight lenses, they're just painted on with a candyapple-like red. I repainted them and the rear side marker lights with Model Master Turn Signal Red. The little black scoop just ahead of the left rear wheel didn't fit well (the right one was fine), so I removed it, trimmed it a little, and glued it back in. Total time maybe two hours, and it takes its proud place on my diecast Corvette shelf. Thanks for looking, and as always, comments welcome.

I really like the Maisto offerings, and this one is no exception.... You just can't beat the price for what you get....

Your mods seem to be just what it needed... I like it... Thanks for posting it...

Hmm...never paid much attention to this one till now.  Nicely done and now tempting.

Thanks! Only thing I don't like about it is the color. I'd have preferred metallic blue, or even red. But this is what was on the vendor's table at the toy show, and the price was right, so white it is. It might be available in other colors if you look around, I dunno.
