Armor head looking to build my late father's vette.
Posted by Dolphin24 on Saturday, January 2, 2016 1:34 PM

so i am mostly an armor modeler, actually never built an automobile. Among my father's Porsches and corvettes he has had in his life, my mother's favorite was a 1981 stingrey t-top. So I was going to build her one. The problem for me is searching for that kit is difficult for me. So Google isn't yielding me results. So I am asking here. I am looking for a modern (I like good quality and good engineering) kit to build a 1981 corvette stingray ttop. Maybe there is a conversion parts to make a different kit into the 1981 version? Idk, I build tanks! Thanks in advance for the help.

Start by looking here:

I didn't see an 81, but I just glanced through the list. See 80 and 82, not familiar with the differences. Good luck!

 Modeling is an excuse to buy books.

There is a dealer promo 81 corvette in 1/24(25) scale

If you can work out the model differences year to year, you may be able to use an 82 as a starting point. to my eye there's not much difference. I'm not sure she'd notice the differences. Revell did an 82 under their Monogram label.
