Apparently, this has been a long-awaited Spirit GT  release that's finally come.      Again, if you can tolerate 1/18 sealed resin models, this 1995 Corvette looks pretty good.   It appears that a roof panel is not included and red in the only color.

Guess I'm spoiled - I still prefer a model with opening panels and the detail of engine, chassis and trunk. Having said that and being fully indoctrinated into static/curbside cars; it's all about the image. If a fine car, not available in 'Mint' type offering is released as a sealed replica, I can appreciate what you see here - nice fidelity to the C4, good paint and interior detailing. DM's C4's suffered from a nose that wasn't correct. FM's, though not as detailed, were more accurate. So is this Spirit GT. Great color combo too!

Maybe a future issue will have the roof panels plus a different colour.

Looks good in Torch Red. Would prefer with roof panels.

Love to see a C4 in convertible form and as a Grand Sport!

That WAS grandma's car! She lived in Pasadena and had a brand new shiny red Super Stock Dodge. But when she lost the pink slip she bought this one. (Kept it in a rickety old garage.)

Oh no, I didn't drive fast at all, but Marty did (occasionally ).   😏 😎 😎   

He took me on a tour of Pasadena - which included, naturally, Colorado BLVD.   It was a wonderful trip all though southern California!  😀 😀 😀
