<VV> corvair plastic model pics

[Charles Lee at Proper Pro Per]

Nice - and you can store them inside ...

I started a few "prototypes" of Corvairs (still under construction) that GM 
shoulda built, like a 2-seater roadster and a high-performance mid-engine 
V-8, plus my first Corvair :

Also a 60 2-door and 62  sedan from AMT kits, easy conversions, if you have 
the kits ...
