53 Racing Vette

[Forrest Gump]

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.

Very nice build. By the way, Forest Gump is one of my favorites!

Nice build. love the extra detailing you did. and those wheels really set it off so they were probably worth the price!

Awesome looking '53! One of my favorite Corvette bodies. Any chance on getting a closer look at those wheels? Who made the wheels?

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.

The wheels are from Detail Masters. I don't know if I have a better picture to send you but, I'll check.

There is plenty on this car on-line. 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.

Great job, I dig it.

Oh, quite real! Not too many photos out there afaik, there is also a side view somewhere...

Great build and detail, I'm a huge fan of racing Vettes. A C1R perhaps?
