MPC '88 Chevrolet Corvette Roadster 1/16


Recommended Posts

I'm glad to get this one off the bench, the worst engineered kit I've had the misfortune to build. So many issues with over and under-scale parts, parts that don't fit, lack of finer details, instructions with incorrect part numbers, no dashboard decals (which is a very strange omission as there are 3 over-scale ones for the battery and radiator).

Thanks for looking,

got overtaken by one of these yesterday and I tried to tell (sell) the wife why we should get one. Didn't work of course, but even she didn't mind it - although she states to prefer a 67 Mustang. Philistine that she is.... ;)

Nice job on a pig of a kit. I remember wanting this kit as an over zealous teenager and looking at the issues yo had with it, I'm kind of glad I didn't get it.

You made a wise decision not to buy this kit. One expects a higher level of detail at this scale than a 1/24 but this is not the case, but I suppose the end result is OK if you don't look too closely!
