Revell 07434, 1965 Corvette Sting Ray, 1:8 scale plastic model

This, is a scale model. Mine came with all parts and no cracked 'glass', but the body does require a bit more TLC than I expected. Not all that surprising though, considering it is almost two feet long and apparently made with a four piece mold. But is nothing a bit of sanding and body putty cannot fix. Treat it like a full size car.And just to clarify the box size question I asked, the actual model box measures 23.5 x 16.7 x 5.5 in inches. And like another poster said, take your time and it will come out great.All in all it is a great kit. I've built models since the 60's, and with the dexterity issues I deal with, larger is better. And this is about as large as a car kit comes. Unless you spring for one of the 1:6 scale Harley's that are out there. But then, they aren't a Stingray either.Now where can I find a 67 Charger or even a Super Bee in this scale...

It is difficult to give this model kit less than a 5 star rating, but as a former moldmaker, I’m familiar with the plastic mold creation process; the runners, the knockout pin ejection system, parting line issues and mold polishing, and based on my experience, the kit could have been tweaked some to produce a better end result. Don’t misunderstand - there is not objectionable flash on parts, and wall thickness is excellent. However, some serious work is required to prep the parts for paint and that could have been better. That said, this is an amazing model kit with serious detail built in.

What a beautiful challenge! This is the first of my larger model experience and Revell made this well. Requires higher level skills and actual thinking to get it right, but it pays off. Customer Service was extremely helpful and went out of their way to clear up a small parts problem. Highly recommend this model and all Revell products.

Nice model... as realistic as can be. TAKE YOUR TIME building it.Wish more models were 1:8 scaleActually too bad it doesn't have a place for LED lights.

Nice and fast shipping

Thank's

I just wanted to say that I wish the manufacturers would bring these large scale models back into production because I am 60 years old and have been working on models since I was 9 or 10 years old and my fingers and eye sight isn't what it use to be. ps: I have to use lighted magnifying glass and a visor to work on the 1/25 scale models with reversible type tweezers to hold on to those tiny pieces if u know what I mean PLEASE I am sure that there are a lot of older hobbyists out there that are in the same whey and I like the bigger models because it is easier to detail them by putting plug wires radiator hoses etc. SO MANUFACTURES TAKE NOTE I AM JUST ONE PERSON and some of u other hobbyists let them know we have made them rich over the many years that we have been building these and other toys like wood airplanes ,boats , and money pit rc trucks and planes thank u for letting me vent
