Default OT(sorta) funny

About 15 years ago I bought a couple of revell '69/ 429 misprint kits thinking that someday they would be worth something. Well seeing as how they have gone up to almost a whopping $15 on Ebay I decided to build one and paint it just like my 69. (Yeah I am kinda bored lately). I prepainted all on the small parts and pre-assembled everything. When I went to put the radiator and shroud in.... You guessed it!! :rofl: It doesnt't fit any better than the real thing. You guys that have fought with the shroud /radiator installation know why that is so funny. MY wife even saw the humor as she has been around for a few radiator changes over the years.

They may be 1/25th scale, but damn they are accurate. I've given up on a few corvette models just as much as I've given up on my car :lol:
