Review and Photos by Alan Mann \"Alan<\/a><\/p>\n

Veteran builders and even casual observers of the model building hobby have all seen it: there in the corner of the garage sale or flea market is a big box with a dusty, faded cover.\u00c2\u00a0 Taking the lid off and peeking inside she lays there: silent and dormant waiting for another chance to reclaim her full glory.\u00c2\u00a0 She\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s been started, broken and painted but underneath she is a jewel in the rough.\u00c2\u00a0 They don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t make \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcem like that anymore and the harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Be one of the few \u00e2\u20ac\u201c the proud. Be a rescuer!<\/p>\n

This review is based on the Monogram Kit #2606 \u00e2\u20ac\u212282 Corvette Collector\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Edition in 1\/8 scale. The kit started life as the 1978 Corvette kit and was updated and changed for this \"15\"<\/a> version. Parts are molded in \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Metal Glow\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Silver, Black, Chrome, Tinted Clear and Red Clear with Rubber Tires and Screws. The build consists of approximately 140 parts. With research I could only find this one box art and release date, the box and directions date this to the original 1982 release. If it was re-released I am unable to find it. This kit and other\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s like it are still available at online auctions and flea markets everywhere. Having been made in the 80\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s it does have some strong mold lines and the construction is simplified in some areas. Also being a model from the 80\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s it does have some fit and finish issues that can be minor and workable if you take your time. Now, to the interesting part\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 This review will be somewhat different than a normal \u00e2\u20ac\u0153New Build\u00e2\u20ac\u009d review. This kit was owned and started by someone else and we will have to \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Work with what we got\u00e2\u20ac\u009d! The review will touch on re-conditioning previously painted parts, repairing damaged parts, and working around missing parts. Often a builder will buy, or be given a kit that has been started, and might need to know where to go from there. Hopefully, this will\u00c2\u00a0tackle some issues that you’ll probably run into.\u00c2\u00a0 Final constructed size of this kit is a massive 23-1\/8\u00e2\u20ac\u009d long, 9\u00e2\u20ac\u009d wide and 6\u00e2\u20ac\u009d tall.<\/p>\n

NOTE: This kit was released prior to the Skill Level ratings, but this would have been a Skill Level 3 by Revell\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s standards. Due to the condition of the kit being started and most of the parts off the sprue I rate this build as a Skill Level 4 meaning \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Must have advanced model building skills\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. \u00c2\u00a0As this build requires damage repair, paint repair and parts identification ability, it is not your normal OUT OF THE BOX BUILD.<\/p>\n
