Finally a really decent Corvette C7!

Maisto has released a beautiful Corvette C7 in silver in their "Exclusive" series. So far I've only seen it on eBay. I got mine today and I am very impressed.
Also, the price is not only for the rich! You'll find it for between $51.00 & $55.00 shipped. Well worth it!!

That's great ! A good choice of price/detail points on

Maisto's very cool Corvette C7 diecast.

The only disappointmeent is that it has no door windows

Both Bburago and Maisto seem to have an aversion to door windows - it's a great pity as they complete a model, by giving it depth and solidity.

Minichamps, Kyosho and AUTOart, probably the three manufacturers Bburago/Maisto aspire to joining with their upper end offerings, all consistently provide door windows, even Hot Wheels Elite had partially raised or lowered windows, depending on how you looked at them.

So come on Bburago/Maisto, it's part of doing a proper job.

That doesn't bother me. This particular C7 from a display is amazing!

I never got any of the first relases but I liked this one a lot. Glad to hear you think it's a lot better! I think the Mercedes AMG GT is a nice effort, better than the Norev but then I don't like black wheels.

Of course, I remember this one. Yes, it does look "a cut above" the rest. Thanks!

Looks great considering its a Maisto... and it looks like they actually sprayed the whole body. My biggest problem (though at that price point it shouldn't matter) was they would spray the body fine but rarely covered any of the jams so it looked, well... cheap especially if you displayed it with the doors open. This looks much much nicer so kudos to them.

Randy, you'll be thrilled to know that AA just announced that they're doing the C7 Z06 in 5 colors:

Racing Yellow (2 different versions, it seems)
Arctic White
Torch Red
Dark Silver
Laguna Blue

I know that was a problem on many cheaper makers like Bburago. This has under panel paint and headliner of different colors than the body.

Any prices listed or a LeMans version? Sealed bodies?

no prices listed yet, so not sure if they're diecast or

AA's new Composite series. They do open fully. No C7R announced...I'd LOVE one of those.
