Default Anyone one have the FM C6 Z06?

I know that many of you only collect 1/18 scale cars. I have a few of them, but mostly have FM & DM 1/24 scale Corvettes.

Has any one bought, received or even seen the Franklin Mint C6 Z06 in Orange Metallic?

If so, please comment on the quality - same as, better than or worse than other (non-fiberglass) FM models?

It is spectacular. Better than anything TFM has ever done by a mile. Here is a review:

I just got mine on saturday and its very very nice! they did very well on the c6 molds unlike some of the others.

I got it as well as the 1970 lt1 blue c3 and they made excellent additions to my FM collection of 20 cars now.


waiting on the c6z06 pacecar now which is on backorder!

Mint Models has a black one due next month, but it's sold out. I'm sure you'll be able to find one on Ebay eventually. As for other colors, the way FM pumps out repaints, I'm sure over time you'll have plenty of color choices.

Mint Models exclusive black Z06
