I'm building a model with my 9 year old right now. Since I have a real C5 we're building a C2.

Looks like a FM issue. Did you have it painted?

It's the Bburago 1/18 model. It's as-is, pulled out of the box.

I had to laugh when I saw this . I don't think I'll add it to my collection.

Been tinkering with this with my 9 year old for a couple months. It was more pieces than I thought when I ordered it, but he hung in there with me to see it through. Keeping the interest alive one enthusiast at a time. Extra credit if you can identify the glaring error.

Error? Don't know what you're looking for, but the hood looks like a more modern aftermarket unit.

Assembly (assembler) error. I'm no C2 guru but I think the pieces are accurate.

Ah, side pipes are upside down/reversed.
My neighbors '65 has a very different hood than your model though.

Yes, the model is a 1967 and the hood is different from a 65. I actually like the 65 better.

Very cool. It will be fun to watch that come along. Nice to have a potential new garage buddy right next door too. I posted your link below if anyone else wants to check it out.
