Brudda Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 This is a agora supersnake kit that I changed it around a bit. Had a DeAgostini GT500 for parts. So I used the grill, hood , right door ( for the mirror) and the tires and wheels. Changed the color to Acapulco blue. Polished the wheels. Stripes were fun. Had the decals made ( thank you Neil Hulse) the (GT500 on the fenders) our local IPMS contest is next weekend and the club build is mustangs. So it will be under factory stock, plus club build, plus 60’s theme. We will see how it works out. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karbuildr Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 Wow. What a gorgeous build. Absolutely stunning. I thought I was looking at the engine compartment of a real Cobra. The interior is beautiful, the seats look so real. The last photo really show the size of this model. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s in the wip section. The hardest part was the paint and the stripes. You had to paint the parts, put the body together to get the stripes aligned, take it apart spray the stripes then clear. The rest was pretty easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Rattlecan Dan. For the money, the kit is a little scarce on detail. But it’s the only game in town if you want this size. I just modeled it a little.

Thank you 70 Sting.by the way I always wondered the name “70 Sting “ does this refer to the great 70 corvette? If so my favorite shape of a car. When I was in high school , I took a design drafting class. I did a drawing of this car in blue that was super cool and in the high school display case. I was instantly popular and still remember how this car made me famous at my high school. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve loved them ever since I was a little kid. Cool story regarding your high school. Did you ever get the drawing back and do you still have it?

I’ve loved them ever since I was a little kid. Cool story regarding your high school. Did you ever get the drawing back and do you still have it? Hello 70 Sting, I did get the drawing back from high school, but several years later I went out of state on a job and my pop threw out a lot of things he did not need. And that was in the stuff he threw out. Bummer, I agree with you on styling, the 70 corvette is imho the best looking out of all the corvettes, well 68-72. The styling was way over the top at that time, and that coke bottle shape! Nobody beat that. Do you know where I can get a set of photoetch for a 1/25 68-72 corvette? I looked a model car garage and did not see anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
