2020 Corvette Paper Model

Chevy Corvette Bastelbogen
When Car and Driver reviewed the 2020 C8-generation Corvette, they proclaimed it as the "best Corvette ever". They also thought the new mid-engine design for the car made it look somewhat like a Ferrari. There is some truth to that. This 1:18 scale paper model of the much-praised car was created by Loudog. The PDF template for the model may be downloaded here (ZIP file password is "www.loudocraft.com"). Eight different color variations are included. The finished model is about 10" (25.7 cm) long. The first Corvette was produced by Chevrolet in 1953.
