    That looks like the model that "Hawk" on the Corvette Forum completed recently. He did another one previously. He does nice work (even though the 427 script looks a little too big).

        VERY nice!
        I have two of those. One I've built, and painted with that chameleon paint that changes colors. Used actual automotive paint bc/cc. Got fuel lines, batt cables, carpet, the whole nine yards...not worried about the color being "correct". I don't plan on having it Judged anytime soon...

        You can almost hear them run when they look that nice!

            ALAN-

            Do ya think his 1/12th scale is about the same price as the real 1/1 scale or is based on scale verses $ ratio? Let's not even talk about insurance here...................

              There's going to be a deduct on the wiper park configuration.

                And for the derby hubcaps. He IS an incredibly skilled modeler .

                    Stewart, the blue streaks while not OEM for Corvettes really did look great on that car. I think that they may have been OEM for some mid 60s Mopars?

                      Yeah I've seen white, red, gold but never blue. It matches back well with the cold air intake baby blue colour. Come to think of it I can't recall seeing a tuxedo black with that blue highlight colour. They must of made very few. I really like it. I guess it's up against the red back look of the black and red highlight which is the most striking colour combo of all time. Terry from Pro Team once told me advertise a 67 black with the red cold air intake and watch the phone ring itself crazy !!! Stewy
