Thanks a lot, Spencer. I'm not myself either but my sister had a model Corvette just like this when we were kids so this design has stuck with me. Almost nothing like it on UK roads.
Quad headlamps were made legal in the USA in 1957. Chrysler was on the ball and a lot of its '57 models had four lamps. GM seemed a bit slower off the mark and it was only with the 1958 models that quad lamps were featured.
Thanks for the info - I found mixed information saying that it was legalised in some states as early as 1956 but not all until later so I gave a generalised date.
You did very well with this corvette Thomas. Color looks awesome and the seatbelts is a good idea to use just a tiny piece of alu-foil. I did mine in red/white a few years ago. And was not that good looking as yours, maybe because of lack of experiance than. Happy Holiday to you and the family.
I'm building one of these for my future wife (restoring an used model kit), i hope to finish it soon.
Nice video!
Many thanks, good luck with the restoration.
Looks great! Never been a big Vette guy, but this is a nice one. Thanks for sharing.

Nice work Thomas, fantastic colour you've chosen and it looks very realistic in the end too. Well done.
Thanks a lot, Karl. What with all the chrome, getting it to look realistic was always a bit of a worry.
Great work and awesome job on the foil work, looks excellent. I love all the interior detail too. Top work as usual mate!
Much appreciated, my friend! This is definitely the most chrome I've added to a car so I'm glad it turned out ok.
Very nice build. Very appropriate ranking for the kit. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Michael. I enjoyed it, but the kit could be better.
@@BOABModels Some of those early Revell kits are not very good.
Nice job, looks great!!

Great job Thomas, it really looks amazing!
Glad you think so! Thanks Richard

Thanks very much, Jan. Red and white is a classic look. I'm sure it was better than you remember but this isn't an easy build.
@@BOABModels Your right Thomas. It was not a realy easy kit. Level 5 when i am not wrong. But yours in blue/Turquoise is looking awesome.
Looks good but is it a real 1/25scale. It looks slightly bigger. Maby 1/24
Thanks - as for the scale, it was what it said on the box.
no sanding and polishing
