56 Corvette

[Sport Suburban]

Here is one I did fairly quick. I started with the Revell 57 Corvette kit and changed it to a 56. That is not a difficult conversion as both cars are Identical. The Fuel Injection was not availible nor was the 4 speed. So I sanded off the Fuel Injection emblems and installed a two 4bbl carb set up on the 283 motor. The three speed manual was availible but I decided to go a step further and install a powerglide automatic from the 57 150 kit.

Thanks, I did intend to semi gloss clear the interior but I skipped that step during assembly. I may still do it but I dought it.

Cool Vette! I like to see true accuracy in the early Factory Stock builds. Especially when its a year or options seldom seen. Again, cool piece! BH

This is the the most beautiful Vette I've Seen. Great job!!!!

Did the same conversion myself a few years ago but used the then new AMT kit. Do love how yours turned out. While the C2 gets all the attention as the most beautiful Corvette the 56-57 has that classic roadster look.

Well done.
