BIG 1/8th scale : ‘65 Corvette Gasser

This Monogram Corvette Gasser was my third kit building BIG scale. Like most scale modellers I wanted this big 1/8th model to look the bee’s knees with tons of clever details. In fact this kit, that was originally produced in the early ‘60’s has less detail than most 1/25th kits had back then. It came with zero options, and it was screaming for opening doors, which I intended to do, along with a tilt front end. The gasser theme meant a completely new chassis, scratchbuilt from Plasticard, with new straight tube front axle - and the big block engine is hand crafted too. Opening the doors and getting them to hinge was a pig to do, and the proposed tilt front end is now a separate hood and removable front wing/nose section. Interior has the usual roll over bar and big wheel tubs for the fat rubber. Slicks are from Lindberg and wheels are modified Tamiya, and the front rims are home made, as were the decals. I was quite pleased at the time, but I know now I could have done better - but isn’t that always the way ? Thanks for looking and why not check out my other BIG scale videos ? - Gene Gilleno 😁👍🏼
