I'm guessing Revell?

I'm leaning towards early AMT.

I would email Paul about the tires. Give him the measurements and you might be surprised what he has.

The trouble is that both went through several versions over the years. I lean toward AMT only because the Revell chassis always had a step at the rear plate, AMT did not. Most of the pictures I found showed the AMT with a flange on the tops of the rails to hold them straight, and the Revell had double bolts through unflanged rails. Most of the time, Revell chassis had "Revell" on them, stamped under the front platform, but not always. Some Revell didn't even have a front platform.

LOL. I just noticed this was on the 1/24 area. No wonder I couldn't find an exact match!

thanks all
AMT it would seem to be
and if it is a 65 'vette all the better as I am also a '65er
any links to suitable wheels or tyres would be appreciated
so what colour do I repaint it?
cheers
