Default Die Cast Models

Its been a while since I've seen a thread with Die Cast Models. My wife bought me this for our anniversary. While I have a Stingray, this is the only one she could find in Shark Gray with black wheels. A GS collector edition. Very thoughtful. I bought her an exact replica of her Trackhawk last year. Post a pic if you have one of your car.

Hello.
I purchased this "AUTOart" Vette a few years back because I could not find a plain black GS like mine . When I purchased my '19 GS it did not have the hash marks on the fenders, I installed them. I will have to paint the white on the model black and change the yellow hash marks to red to match my car .

I have 3x C7 models so far...haven't found one to match my Shadow Grey Stingray yet. The white Stingray was from the dealer...I seem to remember that they had GS and Z06 (this was in 2019) models also...can't remember what colours they were. The other two I found at random shops.

I have a matching one for each of the previous Corvettes I have owned and for the current one. I had to make the one which matches my 17 GS vert out of two different kits. No one makes one to match it unfortunately.

I had 2 buy 2 to make one.Main reason was the ground effects needed where only on coupes.
Never mind matching colors.


Trim stingray body to fit wider spats.

In the Paint shop

Looks great from 20 ft.🤣

Here’s mine a couple mods ago. I’m itching to do another (widebody) one. Of course the wheels wouldn’t be the same.

I have the same one. My car is NRB and the description on eBay said NRB but then the model came in this color. They never made a model in NRB so this one has to do.

If anyone knows where I can find a 1 :16 like my black GS please let me know. Even if it doesn't have the red hash marks.
Thank you,
Rich

I would like a black GS/Z06 convertible, even if i had to paint the red hashes on it and the red interior by hand, in 1:18th.
