“BUILDING THE COVERS “ Vol # 12 MAZMANIAN Corvette gasser

[M W Elky]

This build is a mixture of corvette kits starting with the amt 1962 ,and including parts from the mpc , 60 & 57 gasser’s. It’s painted tamyia metallic red with decals by slixx. Although the real mazmanian vette was a 61 I think the amt 62 kit looks pretty close. It does have some fit issues common to these early vette kits, but they build up easy. The worst fit problem’s are with the roof and hood.

as always thanks for looking, mike

Very nice!

Great looking Corvette.  I always found it interesting that Mazmanian went from gassers to a SP class Vette.

Actually, Mike, he went from the Vette into a '41 Willys  and a blown 392 Hemi.

Nice choice to replicate. I saw the real car run at Indy National Drags way back when I wore a thinner man's clothes.

Amazing job!  I have thought about this one quite a bit, but can never seem to figure out to do it.  Very impressive, nice work.
