Forrest Gump Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 I always wanted to build this. The wire wheels were more than the kit! Flocked, lots of scratch pieces. Mesh screen. Plumbed and wired. Decent kit. Very simple. Needs scratch additions to the interior for a better look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
46 Marty Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Very nice build. By the way, Forest Gump is one of my favorites! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randx0 Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Nice build. love the extra detailing you did. and those wheels really set it off so they were probably worth the price! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torinobradley Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Awesome looking '53! One of my favorite Corvette bodies. Any chance on getting a closer look at those wheels? Who made the wheels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elan Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Nice job, I have this kit in my model mausoleum. Somewhere. Did you do any research on the car? I'm not sure if it was a real Carrera car or a figment of a Revell designers imagination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wheels are from Detail Masters. I don't know if I have a better picture to send you but, I'll check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had some magazine with it that put me on the hunt but, this car among Corvette historians is well known. Do a little digging and you should be able to find something. If you can't let me know and I'll see what I can Google. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt P Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Great build and detail, I'm a huge fan of racing Vettes. A C1R perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
