250 Testa Rossa

Hopefully someone at Revell sees this and decides to move forward.

Yes, that was built as the Dave MacDonald car.

Yes, the SnapTite was part of the basis for the Historic Racing Miniatures kit. I think that if Revell did a '63 full detail, it would sell like hotcakes.

With all of the 1963 Corvette kits that have been released over the years, there really hasn't been a good kit of this car that hasn't been up to par with the real thing. AMT has done a decent one over the years which is still available. Revell did a SnapTite '63 Corvette at one time. Historic Racing Miniatures did a resin transkit for the Revell '67 Corvette which included a proper 327 with the Rochester fuel injection, a couple different sets of knockoff wheels, Z06 drum brakes, and even a proper interior which also included parts for the coveted N03 "Tanker". Is there any possibility that Revell would do a proper 1/25th scale 1963 Corvette split window in the coming years? Just a thought.

What are the chances of this eventually becoming a '65 GT350 or even the '65 R Model?

I am definitely getting the GT350. Hopefully it comes with a set of Magnum 500s.

Yes. The transmission was painted in the same color as the unit on the real car. I am going by photos provided by the current owner. A mix of MCW enamels (Semi Gloss Black and Cast Aluminum) was used to get this done.

I saw the same thing. This has me feeling that they might be done.

Nice. Who did your Stinger logo decals?

This is gonna be cool

Whatever happened to these?

I have that detail set from Krasca, but I only plan to use the louvers. The tricky part will be figuring out how to convert the bonnet to look like a welded louver bonnet.

Actually, Krasca Studio makes 3D printed louver panels for the bonnet. Check them out. Also, they make wheels you can hand lace. https://www.hobbyeasy.com/en/data/htojg3fjddyztalzoat1.html

This came out great! Absolutely incredible!

Cool color combination! Fiesta Red was also used as a color by Fender guitars.
