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.

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.

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.
