Default Taillight changes - when?

I've been wanting to get a model Vette to have on my desk, and want it to be as much like my 94 LT-1 convertible as possible... the closest I can find is a 93. Were the taillights the same from 93 to 94? Don't remember when they went from round to squared...

Anybody else have a plastic or diecast model that looks just like their car? I'm planning to get a spray can of touch-up paint so I can have the deep red metallic... black interior will be easy.

This has become an obsession... must be early senility...

yes a 93 looks just like a 94 from the outside. 1990 was the last year for the round rail lights

Correct unless you had a 1990 ZR-1, it had the 91-96 MY lights as well

Decent quality die-cast models of C4's seem to be hard to come by.
I finally found a base model hard top on flea-bay after a bit of searching and waiting.

Maybe I can prep it and and get the body shop to give it a quick spray when I
eventually get a few of my panels painted.

I built mine. Challenging yet satisfying when it is completed.
