Similar to my post about the Aston Martin DB5 from the movie No Time to Die, this is the Agora Models Corvette.
Agora is one of the best, (and reliable) companies I have dealt with, any problem can be easily solved with an email to their customer service and as I had such a great time build the DB5, I decided I would try a second model. I purchased this in November of 2024 and am just working through Pack 12. This is a subscription model, coming in either 12 or 24 stages, (depending on what you prefer) and I chose the 12 month option.
The details of this kit are almost mind boggling, every aspect of the vehicle is represented, from brake lines, electrical, mechanical, etc. it's all there. Of course, it's what one would expect for a model this size, and frankly, the cost.
These are serious investments, and the monthly kits take between 4 hours to several days to work through, depending on what is being built. The cost is between 1500 and up, depending on the options you chose, which typically include a display and various other features for collector's editions.
I have been very happy with Agora and recently, pre-ordered their 1/16 scale Orca, which is to be release in January, I am expecting a beautifully replicated model, similar to the 2 I have already built.
The models have working lights, sound effects and other features that make them unique, the Corvette's features include working headlights (rotating), opening hood, doors, "roll-down" windows, working steering, turn signal and brake lights, engine starting and acceleration and lastly a horn.
The majority of the model is metal, with construction being primarily mechanical, (held together with screws), some of the screws are 1 to 2 mm, while most are 5 mm or larger. The completed model is about 15" long, by 7 or 8" wide (I've never measured it) and weighs around 12 lbs. Construction is detailed with downloaded instructions in detailed and numbered steps, and any damaged parts are replaced by Agora, no cost and no questions asked, I assume it would be the same for missing parts, though I've never had an item missing, their quality control is amazing.
Anyone interested in Agora's models, should check out their website, https://www.agoramodels.com/
This is a sampling of the packs, along with assembly, I will post completed photos once I finish in the coming week(s). The last Stage is one of the most intricate and labor intensive, marrying all of the previous assembled sub-assemblies and working your way through the wiring and connections.
