Another diecast thread
Ideally I'm looking for a white convertible, red interior and black Z51 wheels. Combo seems impossible.
So, I thought I would buy a coupe (that combination exists), buy a convertible, and swap bodies. Seems the coupe I want is 1:18 and the convertible is 1:24,
Do I need to buy convertible without the proper color combo and just paint it?
I've searched all sites I could find.

I bought a blue one and made it red to match my car.

Yep, no 1:18 convertibles by Maisto or AutoArt that I've seen yet. I want to buy/build a 1:18 coupe torch red to match mine but the only way to do it currently is repaint one and then you lose the emblems, and I don't want to do that. There is a Z06 coupe model by AutoArt available now, and since that has been released I doubt they will make a GS version as well. Just like for the C6 GS, there wasn't one made.

Thanks.
I was hoping the decimal point was a little further to the left though.

I'd love to have a die cast white convertible as well. $600??? I'm thinking it's not going to happen, LOL

I bought this from Costco and Chevymall
I think Hobby Lobby or places like that had a 1:24th kit for convertibles, in white, all you would have to do is paint the interior and they give you wheel choices - like this!
I COULD TALK DIECAST CORVETTE ALL DAY

My C7 1/18 models...BBR '14 Z51 Stingray Convertible, '14 Maisto Z51 Coupe, '15 Maisto Z51 Coupe and '15 Autoart Z06. I also have the Maisto 1/24 Coupe Convertible and Z06 Coupe.

if you want a non-zo6 stingray to paint up like your own car then this is the one to get. I believe they have them in coupe also. Maisto has recently come out with a Z06 version at least pre-assembled, don't know about the ones you assemble yourself and gives you extra wheel choices though.

[QUOTE=fredmills;1593448074]What's the source of the 1/32 and smaller?[/
Maisto is the brand on both. The 1/32 came from Walmart and has a wind up motor. Don't remember on rhe smallest one. Had to repaint both.

I took the 1/18 scale Z51 and painted the interior and top black to match mine. Wheels were painted silver.

Here's mine...Maisto 1:24, Arctic White with Black Wheels and Black Interior.
It's 1:1 is sitting in my garage. I need to add a silver stinger stripe to make it a twin.
I have every Franklin and Danbury Mint Corvettes they have made. The collection is about 200 strong. But, trying to find a white C7 was tough.
