RoR Review 20101117 – Monogram® 1:24 scale 1982 Corvette® (kit #85-0885)
Â
Reviewed here is Revell’s® reissue of the Monogram® 1:24 scale 1982 Corvette® (kit #85-0885). At first glance I thought this kit looked familiar, and it was. It was originally issued in the mid ‘80’s as a SnapTite® kit. Now Under the “Classic Cruiser©†name it is re-issued as a skill level 2 glue kit. Skill level 2 is pushing it a bit, with a low parts count and not much detail, but it turns out it’s a very nice simple kit. If you’re looking for a model to take a break from that 6 month detail build or you are just getting into the hobby, this might be what you need.
Overall, assembly was a breeze, since it all snapped together, except for a little glue to help hold things in place. This car turned out better than I thought it would. It sits nice and will make a good scale replica model for your shelf. For the hobbyist there are fit adjustments to the wheel backing plates/hubs and engine mounts that need some attention but this is a great model for that first foray into glue kits for the novice or quick build for that Corvette fan.
