About product

Chevrolet Corvette C8 Cabriolet 1:25 (Revell)

An injection-molded plastic kit of the American sports car in 1:25 scale from the manufacturer Revell. The model consists of 141 parts and contains a multi-part V8 engine, which is visible under a movable rear cover, as well as a well worked out cockpit, wheels with rubber tires, waterslide decals and multilingual instructions. The finished model measures approximately 186 mm. It is a classic kit with gluing and painting - it is not an easy-click (snap-fit) set. The manufacturer places it at a difficulty level for more advanced beginners.

The real subject

The Corvette of the C8 generation, introduced for the 2020 model year, is the first Corvette in the seventy-year history of the model with a mid-mounted engine - until then the engine had always sat at the front. It is a fundamental break: moving the eight-cylinder behind the cabin changed the weight distribution, the proportions and the whole character of the car, which thereby came technically closer to European supercars. Under the cover sits a naturally aspirated eight-cylinder, on the convertible completed by a retractable hardtop. The body is low, wide and aggressive, with sharp edges and large intake openings on the sides.

Building and painting tips

The basis of a good result is a perfectly smooth body: carefully sand the parting seams and the traces of the sprue gates, because gloss shows every mistake. Work through a filler (primer), then color with an airbrush in several thin layers. It pays to paint and shade the V8 engine before closing the rear end - it will be visible under the hinged cover. Once the decals are on, spray the body with clear varnish and, once it has cured, polish it with polishing compound - only that creates the wet, deep gloss that a real Corvette has. Do not varnish the rubber tires at all; fit the chrome and clear parts with a glue that will not fog them.

Who the model is for

  • fans of American sports cars and of the Corvette brand
  • collectors of modern road cars in 1:25 scale
  • modelers who want to practice gloss paint, clear coat and polishing
  • more advanced beginners - the kit is glued and painted

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

No. It is a classic injection-molded kit which is glued and painted. Neither glue nor paints are included in the package.

It is the very first Corvette with a mid-mounted engine. The previous seven generations had the engine at the front, so the C8 is a fundamental technical break in the history of the model.

Yes. The kit contains a multi-part V8 engine and a movable rear cover, under which the engine is visible once it is built. It pays to paint it before you close the rear end.

First smooth the surface perfectly, then paint over a filler in thin layers. After the decals, spray on clear varnish and, once it has cured, polish it with polishing compound.
