Revell - 1/8 scale '65 Corvette In-box review

[monterrey1952]

I think is much better if you keep original the rims of the tires so you make an original Corvette. is just my opinion, I have an !/8 XKE Jaguar, I use only 2 cans of pain tho the whole body, burgandy color, I must post a video of this car on You Tube, i made this scale car 20 years ago, and treasure, regards from Monterrey Mexico.

[DEVASTATOR478]

[svinehunden]

i wanna build that (((: rust it up and wreck it ;)

great video but too bad the doors are attached.

[xcoroner]

wow...that looks awsome...

[cwazmann1]

Awesome kit bro, that's one huge vette!! Wow that thing is a monster, but much easier to build than a 1/25th scale that's for sure. Where did you score on the kit? I can use the interior tub for a salad bowl...lol!! Can't wait to see your plans on it & when it gets completed. Nice rims too!! Peace!!

@cwazmann1 I actually don't remember buying this. But I must have gotten it around 2004 due to it's date on the box. I think this came from a hobby store near Tampa called Pheonix which is out of business now. I'm surely not going to get any more 1/8 because they're too hard to store. Glad you like it though.

man that a beautiful kit , its huge , wow , thats going to be awesome bro', i'll be waiting to see that bad boy done up , kutgw , peace out !

[pdrga]

Those are nice kits mike ,very big scale, the original release was in light metblue, looking forward to seeing it done ...peace

[ToppervisionEnt]

@pdrga Yea, I knew you'd remember the original. There's also a 70';s style body Vette in 1/8, mayb more like 79 or 80, harder to find.

[thestuffz]

wow thats huge!!

[JahPerformance]

the big kits are sweet i just got a 1/8 iroc camaro kit its huge!!!!

[ToppervisionEnt]

@JahPerformance Oh cool, you got the Camaro. I remember seeing all of these in K-Mart, every one of them on the shelves, isle end caps stacked to the ceiling. These were all out at the same time in the early 80's. Can you imagine that sight? It's quite a memory.

[GetYourModelOn]

WOW

I saw the same model for sale on eBay for $175!

I would not build a model like that because I am not worthy, however you are more than worthy, therefore you should build the model immediately!

Peace

[ToppervisionEnt]

@GetYourModelOn Oh, that doesn't sound like this model Scott. Probably the original release for $175. If this one went for that, I'd just sell it!

And you too are worthy!! lol. Peace back at ya.

[ripgabby08]

shit i had to come back to see this again i was half asleep when i seen this ..i have a few Qs how many cans you think it would use to paint that ? and would gas powered rc car rims and tires fit?? and last but not least where the heck can i get one of these ? lol

[ToppervisionEnt]

@ripgabby08 You'd be surprised. I painted my Trans Am with 1 can of Testors brown. That was.......oh........1988? Oh my. I'm gonna send you that video in your inbox and hopefully one other. But RC is usually 1/10 scale, although there are some 1/8.

[fredachinnie64]

Wow,,darn near full size!! Plenty of customizing ideas with that one,,can't wait to see'er done!!

[ripgabby08]

holly cow thats huge lol cant wait to see this done

[BasicModelling]

1/8 scale?/ It must be big enough to drive in.. :) :) Great review.

[carbonfootprintmyass]

nice kit theres one at my hobby store and a karmann ghia

[ToppervisionEnt]

@carbonfootprintmyass I'm pretty sure the Ghia is 1/16 scale. Never seen one of those this big.
