At first glance I thought this kit looked familiar, and it was. It was originally issued in the mid \u00e2\u20ac\u02dc80\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s as a SnapTite\u00c2\u00ae kit. Now Under the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Classic Cruiser\u00c2\u00a9\u00e2\u20ac\u009d name it is re-issued as a skill level 2 glue kit. Skill level 2 is pushing it a bit, with a low parts count and not much detail, but it turns out it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a very nice simple kit. If you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re looking for a model to\u00c2\u00a0take a break from that 6 month detail build or you are just getting into the hobby, this might be what you need.<\/h3>\n<h3>Overall, assembly was a breeze, since it all snapped together, except for a little glue to help hold things in place. This car turned out better than I thought it would. It sits nice and will make a good scale replica model for your shelf. For the hobbyist there are fit adjustments to the wheel backing plates\/hubs and engine mounts that need some attention but this is a great model for that first foray into glue kits for the novice or quick build for that Corvette fan.<\/h3>\n<p><script type=\"te,t\/javascript\">\/\/ <![CDATA[\n  var gaJsHost = ((\"https:\" == document.location.protocol) ? \"https:\/\/ssl.\" : \"http:\/\/www.\"); document.write(unescape(\"%3Cscript src='\" + gaJsHost + \"google-analytics.com\/ga.js' type='te,t\/javascript'%3E%3C\/script%3E\"));\n\/\/ ]]><\/script><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"te,t\/javascript\">\/\/ <![CDATA[\n  try { var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker(\"UA-7543364-1\"); pageTracker._trackPageview(); } catch(err) {}\n\/\/ ]]><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>  Reviewed here for Right On Replicas by Tom Schaefer is Revell\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s\u00c2\u00ae reissue of the Monogram\u00c2\u00ae 1:24 scale 1982 Corvette\u00c2\u00ae (kit #85-0885).
