1980 Corvette 1/16?

[Railfreak78]

Hey everyone this here is going to be my large scale project diving in with both feet. I want this to be really detailed and very realistic when it is done. I think it is 1/16th compared to my 1/24 and my 1/18 metal replicas. I got this kit free years ago from an ex roommate and it had several layers of paint on it. I am missing one stock tire and wheel ( Help needed if someone has one ) and missing windows minus the rear. ( I think I can make them ) Anyway this is a long term and if you guys have cars this size I would like to see ideas for details like engine bays and such. Next pics are after the dunk tank. Enjoy!

Brian, you are right, that appears to be a 1/16 scale. By your pictures, I would guess it is the 1/16 scale AMT 1978 Corvette. I can't wait to see you save this one.

So here it is after the dunk tank and some scrubbing with a tooth brush. Outside of a little staining from the yellow I am down to the molded plastic. Grey-ish white and molded black. Almost a Brand new canvas. I am really excited about this project.

No problem! After looking at the pics of the stripped body, it still looks like the AMT kit. I had the last reissue of it in the early 90s, and most everything looks identical. I think you may have an earlier issue than that, because I don't really remember any black molded parts in mine, but of course that was 20 years ago, and many brain cells have went on vacation since then!
