I might be in for this, I have a Folland Gnat in Hotshots markings. So I think that fits the bill.

I'm looking forward to seeing this one being built Joe - interesting that you're not using the full DofH kit.

Well.....the ol' MPC kit just aint that great of a kit. The Revell Pro Modeler kit on the other hand......is a terrific representation of a Charger. Helluva kit.
Re: 2019 Hollywood Bandits and Rebels GB
So not knowing very much about US cars, and even less about car kits - what type of Corvette is this, and does anyone make a kit of it?

Chevy Corvette. Probably early 1990's.
I'm going with this.
I've got plenty of time to place the order on this kit.
