1966 Corvette

Picked this up recently. From my research it looks to be an MPC model. A couple things about it have me puzzled. It looks to be molded in grey. All the pics I've seen of the MPC kit are molded in white. I can't find a pic of this hood either. I'm stripping the black off the underside of the hood to see if it is the same grey color. If anyone here is familiar with this kit I could use your knowledge.

Looks like a really old kit.

I just found an MPC '66 Vette kit on the web that is indeed molded in grey. Still pondering about the hood, tho. Are ya gonna rebuild this one?

ADDITIONAL INFO: I also ran across an AMT '66 Vette kit that was molded in white.

It is an old kit Bruce.

Yes Bucky, I do plan to rebuild it. I may try polishing out the blue to see if it looks good. If not I'll repaint it. I will strip the paint from the chassis and interior.

I've since found that these MPC kits were molded in grey. The hood is a modified AMT part. It's from a few different AMT kits, pic is one. The hole was filled in and the "vents" were sanded down. It was good craftsmanship IMO.

I figured it was an AMT hood... my 63 AMT was white plastic as well...
