Revell 1/25 2022 Corvette Stingray Z51 Coupe
The revolutionary mid-engine C8 Corvette changed the American sports car world, delivering exotic-car proportions and supercar-level performance while retaining the unmistakable Corvette identity. Revell’s 1/25 scale 2022 Corvette Stingray Z51 Coupe captures Chevy’s latest performance icon with impressive detail, modern engineering, and one of the best modern-tool automotive kits Revell has produced in years.
This all-new tooling kit features a fully detailed 6.2L LT2 V8 engine mounted midship just like the real car, a removable roof panel, opening rear engine cover, detailed chassis and suspension, and your choice of left- or right-hand-drive interior configuration. The aggressive C8 body lines and detailed interior make this one of the most visually striking modern Corvette kits ever released.
