Corvette Scale Model

Just wanted to see where can I buy this exact model or if you know anyone that can get me one. I just bought a new c8 with this exact spec so I wanted to get one for myself. Thanks

That's a Jada Toys model which isn't an exact scale model but slightly stylized to look "right" for the downscale. Hot Wheels are similarly restyled and not perfectly rescaled whereas Matchbox tries to preserve factory scale. The more accurately scaled 1:24 miniatures come from Maisto. Both have their merits so I like and have both. I just don't like Jada Toys's ridiculously slammed look on what looks like giant 22" chrome bling wheels tucked under the fenders and wrapped in rubber band tires. A Jada Toys body with more normal looking and fitting wheels would look mint.

If you have Amazon Prime, that's generally cheaper than eBay after shipping. Here's a listing for that:

It has to be assembled so painting the body will be easy with minimal taping off of other parts

As far as I have seen nobody has come out with an HTC. I guess they don’t see the market for it but I thought the last numbers I saw that 50% of the C8’s sold are HTC? Sam
