Old and rare AMR 1/43rd white metal 1986 Corvette kit built as a specific 1988 Corvette replica. Unfortunately it was partially assembled by someone else when I got it and incorrectly to boot. The epoxy used to put the body together was stronger than the white metal, even after soaking in the solvent tank it would not come apart, so I had to work with what I had...
I made new wheels out of brass to match the real car including the decals on the center caps. I cast new soft tires as well to replace the hard cracking kit tires.
The license plate is also custom made to match; the rest is pretty much out of the box.
It weighs 7 ounces and it’s not even 4 inches long. Seems odd to have that much metal percentage in a “plastic” car.
