MotorMax's 1961 Corvette Mako Shark in 1:18 scale is a very good model compared to other higher-priced images. It includes most of the essential details of the real car, although MotorMax missed the mark on the lack-of-red triple horns under the hood and the lack-of-blue shock absorbers. Another misstep was to have the four chassis mounting stubs protrude too far below the chassis. Overall, the model is notable for its special paint job, wire wheels, and authentic badging. It's about as good as or better than the 5 star-rated and beautifully rendered UT (AutoArt) version, and definitely worth way, way, way more than the ten spot I paid because of a damaged display box. Unlike the UT version however, Motormax supplies the clear, removable, convertible bubble top for the car.

Thanks for looking...
