Ertl 53 Corvette

This looks to be a disgrace to the 1953 Corvette , I really thought Ertl could out do Mira on this one but I guess not , looks like a covered wagon.

This may even drive up the prices for the Mira/Solido models as they look more realistic. Unless the top goes down or comes off I will not be purchasing one!!!

The body looks good. You are right, the top has to go away.

This is a joke right! ERTL can't be that lame. If the top come off I buy it.

Re: Ertl 53 Corvette (Truck Guy)

That is worse than the top that Burt Reynolds wears. :lol: I have been collecting ERTL 1/18th scale for years and there is no way they will let that out the door. If they do, I agree about the DREMEL :yesnod: and MIRA still having the only '53 and '54 worth displaying, which is a shame :rolleyes: Thanks for posting the picture.
