Does anyone have a source for a 1/8 scale (or larger) 1959 or 1960 Corvette?
I have radio controlled 1962 that is approximately 1/8 scale that I disassembled and painted to match my wife's '62, but I need the '59-'60 to match my '59.
Thanks,
Charles

Charles, I haven't seen one that large for a 59-60. I have a couple of the 1/12 scale 58's. I do have a 1/8 scale 57 fuelie by Auto Art. Nice piece but pricey and somewhat rare. Won't help you though with the 57 single headlights. Nice job on the 62

Thanks for the reply. I have an extra '62 RC model like the one in my original post that I would like convert to a '60 body, but I don't think a 1/8 scale '58-'60 model exists. I do have a 1960 3D model (computer model) and a rather large (500mm) 3D printer so I think I will try to print a body to fit on the '62 frame.

you can do nice models with a 3d printer, just need some skills to give the good thickness depending on scale wanted ;-)

You are correct. All of the models I found on line are just shells, no wall thickness. I use a program called "Blender" to add thickness. Below is a model that I made on my 3D printer. I just gave it the first coat of primer and sanded a few spots. There is no interior so the windows will be left black or painted white, haven't decided. This model is about 19" long.
