• On Discovery Channel's "Highway Thru Heck" show yesterday they were racing Chevettes on ice. Was there ever a decent kit done of the Chevette? (I'd buy one in a flash!) *NM*
  • I remember building 1 for my niece & husband. I think it was a 1976, MPC make. Decent detail for the time. *NM*
  • Here is a Chevette I built over 10 years ago...the NJ Central Motor Pool edition
    • Cool! That's a '77. I found MPC did that one plus a '78 & '79, all with different grilles, and extra parts, like figures. Time for a re-issue, esp. with those desirable bonus parts *NM*
      • Forgot to say that, like yours, I drove a couple municipality pool Chevettes, done up in big blue hash marks on white, very distinctive *NM*
        • They were fleet cars at one time with Telephone Company in Ohio. *NM*
  • They weren't bad kits. At one time I had 2 or 3 of these kits. The cars are long gone but I kept all the accessories.
    • There was also a "Bear Bait" version with body add-ons. *NM*
      • Here's a Tom Geiger boxart photo of all 3 versions... *NM* *PIC*
        • Here's a link with some photos of kit contents.... *NM* *LINK*
          • ....and some instructions scans...SCANS INSIDE

  • The MPC annuals build up pretty nice. PICS
    • Okay, you win, LOL! Nice builds, with a good choice of colours and neatly done at that! Surprised you did all three, you must have a personal connection *NM*
      • Thanks. Never had one, but they're all replicas of ones I remember as a kid in the 70's. *NM*
    • Very nice builds! *NM*
