What this kit builds

This AMT model kit reproduces the 1953 Chevrolet Corvette in 1/25 scale with United States Postal Service themed graphics. The box is a collectible tin printed with USPS imagery and the Corvette artwork. Parts are moulded in white and include a Blue Flame Six engine, black vinyl tires and chrome plated trim pieces.

What Skill 2 means for the builder

Skill 2 indicates the kit needs paint and cement, neither of which are supplied. You must provide modelling glue, paints, brushes or an airbrush and basic hand tools to finish the model. The decal sheet carries the colourful USPS artwork and the chrome trim can be highlighted with silver paint if desired.

The detail that decides fit

The kit includes custom option parts such as a special grille, road lamps, headlight fillers, 20 spoke mag wheels, wide low profile tires, a custom valve cover and a steering wheel. These extra parts let you build either the stock USPS version or a modified variant without needing separate aftermarket pieces.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the Skill 2 version or look for a different skill level?

This kit is labelled Skill 2, meaning it is aimed at adult builders with some prior modelling experience and requires paint and cement to complete.

What does the 1/25 scale mean when the model is finished?

At 1/25 scale the assembled Corvette will be roughly one twenty-fifth the size of the real 1953 car, giving a compact display model that fits on a shelf.

Does the kit use a standard modelling interface like snap-fit or screw-together?

No, it is a traditional glue-together plastic kit; parts are moulded in white and chrome-plated, and you must supply your own cement and paint.
