I tend to blabber on a lot. For a model of this magnitude, let’s keep it simple…

As a Corvette fan, this is one of the greatest castings of all-time! Now I'm just waiting for one with a more subtle paint/tampo job.
The toy fair model is by far the best they have ever made of that casting.
It's all the details that make it so nice!
Later!
A very American model.
To me it is just a Vette with good detail, but that it about it.
Outside of the US, unless you have a vested interest in Americana, there is nothing special about this model.
A shame you feel that way. Here in the US, we have interest in high performance cars from other parts of the world seperate from us. And we are voracious collectors of such gems.
