Above - Picture taken November 1, 2005 - A 1:8 scale 1965 Corvette built from a
Monogram kit.
Above - November 1, 2005 - The color is somewhere between the above two photos
(both shot at the same place on the same day - the first on normal setting, the
second on macro).
Above - November 1, 2005 - After being built as an unpainted blue plastic
display model by a friend, he sold it to me and I converted it to a
nitro-powered racer. It ran a couple of races in the Radio Operated Auto Racing
(ROAR) sanctioned Midwest Series 70.
Above - November 1, 2005 - The patriotic rear fender stripes were added well
after the end of its racing career to cover up racing damage.
Above - November 1, 2005 - Genuine cast aluminum wheels - radio controlled car
items.
Above - November 1, 2005 - The ugly truth. It was dummied up for use in a
"Scale" education display (1:8 to 1:220 scales were
demonstrated.
Above - November 1, 2005 - More of the ugly truth. I do NOT like to have models
that are not on display. This one, however, is too big for any available space
so it was in a cabinet for so long that the resident spider starved to death.
Note the racing damage under the front grille surround.
