Default C6 plastic model

Hi,
I am interested in getting a plastic model of the C6. I've seen the 1:25 Revell model. Does anyone else make a larger one?

Years ago, when I had a Trans Am, I bought a model that must have been about 1:12 (or so). I don't remember the manufacturer.

Does anyone make larger than 1:25 scale model of the C6?

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Steve

I have not seen any plastic models larger than 1:25 scale, but HotWheels makes a 1:18 scale diecast. You can even get it in LBM!

There's a 1/18th scale (I think) available from a few of the forum vendors - - I have to look through my files to find it, but the one I got is about 14" long and 8" wide . . . . will edit the post when I find it unless someone else has a better memory than I do !

Nothing in plastic bigger than 1/25. But, you can't beat the Hot Wheels 1/18 diecast, for the price.
If you really want to get crazy they also make a 1/12. These can usually be found on ebay for $50 - $80 and nicely detailed.

Happy hunting - geo

Default C6 model

Mattel Hot Wheels makes a 1:12 scale C6 die-cast model of both the coupe and the vert.

I was going to give you the West Coast Corvettes link, but 2vettes beat me to it.

Do a search in either 1:12, 1:18, whatever, and tons of sites come up. As mentioned above, some are forum vendors. A friend gave me a 1:18 scale Z06, Mattel Hot Wheels, which is very detailed. I have a collection of every generation, and the highest quality seems to be Danbury Mint. Haven't checked to see what they have in a C6.

Good luck!

Hot wheels makes a 1:18 scale coupe, conv and Z06. If you want one to match your car exactly contact pipedreams. Ed made me a M-Yellow one that's a perfect match for my car. He even included all my modifications like painted calipers, lloyd's matts. etc.

Revell is the only one in plastic. They also make a model of the C6-R

The westcoastcorvettes would be good except that I'd like a Blue (LMB)coupe. Their Blue is a vert.

Oh well. I'd like to find a LMB 1:12 coupe.
Thanks,
Steve
