AMT 1972 Corvette Roadster

[karbuildr]

This is painted in a nonstandard color for 1972. This is Hugger Orange simply because I wanted a C3 in this color for a long time. The only other Orange color for this year Corvette is called Ontario Orange which I didn't really care for. I didn't have any major issues with the build except for the hood. Once attached, it doesn't close properly, which has to do with the manner the hinge was designed. I had a similar issue with a 1970 Coupe by AMT. Other than that, highly recommended.

Well done! That is a nice color combo.

Excellent work! Cool colour choice too.

Nice Vette!

Thanks for the tip about the hood.

One of these is planned for my next batch build.

Nice work. Great color, paint and detail are really nice. Fine job.

Looks great, fine work.

I agree with you about the color. The Onterio Orange looked good, but not Hugger Orange good.  Like the interior and engine/chassis detailing.

You'll enjoy the build, the engine is especially nice Bill. I really had no fit problems except for the hood.
