After my Challenger, this is one of the few cars on the road today that I would want to drive. I finished this last week, and wanted to upload the photos, but with losing kitty I didn't have the time or motivation to do it. So this model is a bit of a dedication to her memory since it was my last build before losing her.
The model itself is one of their best. It goes together quite easy and only has a couple of issues. One is the engine; which I believe was already mentioned in a previous thread. You build it, but the majority of it can't be seen! The chassis was also hard to get on. I had to fight it to get it to fit right. The hood for the engine is also a very tight fit. So tight, it's hard to get the hood up to view the engine. So I left it closed. Only other criticism I had was having to paint the head and tail lights. Just a personal preference of not having to do that. Some may notice that the area around the rear vent down is supposed to be black. I just thought it looked better in body color. I'm sure it's an option anyway.
If I could afford a new Corvette, this is the exact car I would want. I've seen a Hugger Orange one driving around town and I thought that was the best, most suiting color for one. It shows off all the car's highlights.
