FINALLY! A C8 Corvette plastic model kit in 1/24!

[tatocorvette]

Hello,

  Among many other kits and manufacturers, Revell Germany has announced it will release a 1/24 Plastic model of the Corvette C8 coupe!
'BOUT TIME!
It should be available around October 2023. 
Kit number will be 07714 Corvette Stingray C8 
Multi part engine
Original interior (whatever that means)
Rotating tires (metal axles? yuck but Whatever!) 

I was hoping for a C8R or Z06 but a base coupe will do. You may remember I did mine by heavily modifying a cheap diecast, but the interior is a joke.  Already thinking how to make a convertible from it...

They also announced the James Bond "Goldfinger" Aston Martin DB5 in 1/24

Thanks,
Ismael

Wiil anyone offer an IMSA version ?

As much as I want it, I don't think we'll see it anytime soon. I turned purple a long time ago. Holding my breath for 3 years and counting...

C5R kits are inaccurate as they molded the first narrow body race car. Even the excellent resin body from HRM is the first year narrow body.
C6R kits are simplified but the best of the bunch
C7R is an awful kit. 2014 body, 2016 decals, nothing fits properly, they were all drunk when added the roof camera. 

Thanks,
Ismael

I'll probably have to pick one of these up, but here's hoping for a C8R!
