Review and Photos by Alan Mann

The Chevrolet Corvette, known colloquially as the Vette, is a sports car manufactured by Chevrolet. The car has been produced through seven generations. The first model, a convertible, was introduced at the GM Motorama in 1953 as a concept show car. Myron Scott is credited for naming the car after the type of small, maneuverable warship called a corvette. Originally built in Flint, Michigan and St. Louis, Missouri, the Corvette is currently manufactured in Bowling Green, Kentucky and is the official sports car of the Commonwealth of Kentucky. The seventh generation Corvette was introduced for the 2014 model year. The 2015 model is the first to bear the Corvette Stingray name since the 1976 third generation model.

 

For the Modeler: This review covers the first release of the new 1/25 Scale Foose 2015 Corvette Stingray by Revell. This is kit #85-4397 in the current catalog and is rated as a Skill Level 3 kit for moderate builders. The kit is a NEW RELEASE with no previous versions available. The build itself is just above a SNAP kit and more of an entry level Glue kit. You get 57 parts molded in Gray and Black with Chrome. The tires are Rubber and it has Metal axles. The glass is clear and clear red with the black window surrounds already printed on the glass. The body comes molded in a Silver Metallic with Black and has Waterslide decals. This kit was designed to be a “transition” kit aimed at moving the novice builder into the glue together category but still allowing for a great looking product to display. as The instruction sheet is a fold-out one page design unlike the typical book format Revell usually has. Overall dimensions are: Length: 6-15/16””, Width: 3-5/16””, Height: 1-7/8””.
