Amazing job, the nicest build ever on that kit, and one of the nicest C3s out there as well.

It looks so good with the lights on. Also I like it when the head lights are popped up.

Thank you. The headlights can go up and down as wanted.

It was great seeing my 1974 Corvette included in the SoCal Open coverage in issue 225. This was the first Model Car show I ever participated in.Thank you very much!

Hi Donald! I missed seeing this one finished. It turned out beautiful. Congrats on the well deserved coverage in the magazine.

The working lights are the cherry on the cake, but it looks great even without them.

MPC Open Corvette Roadster 1/25 model kit converted from a 1975 to 1974 Corvette 454 convertible.  Kit did not come with a top, so I added one from another kit and I added a complement of LED lighting as usual. I made the headlight open and close for lights on or off. This build was featured in issue 225 of Model Cars Magazine under the coverage for the SoCal Open Model Car show in 2024.

Awesome paint work and the LED lighting along with the operable wheels make it seem like the actual car. Always liked the mid 70's versions in orange.

G’day Donald. I must have missed this one when you first posted it,( possibly before I joined the forum ) but, wow! That is a sweet looking Vette! Colour scheme is a great one too. Top notch. 👍🏻
