Old-tool Revell '57 Chevy Bel Air hardtop... ***PICS***
Those wheels look great on your very nice build. *NM*
Nice builds on both of those 57's! *NM*
Those old Revell 57 Chevies hold a warm place in my heart. I don't know how many of those tri-fives I "tried" to build as a kid and just couldn't get the doors to hang right, or the trunk to work. Yours looks really good. Except for the front fenders those 57s look pretty
Real sweet, Don. Love those old Revell kits--beyond my ability to finish, though. *NM*
Great! That drag car is one of my favorites. *NM*
That turned out really nice. Black with red & black interior is a nice combo *NM*
What makes it an old tool? Atlantis has an old 1957 Revell kit listed in their upcoming kits.
Yes, Revell did three "new tool" 57s. The 150 black widow, 2 door sedan belair, and the belair convertible. The "old tool" 57 was created back in the early 60s and that is the one Atlantis has. *NM*
There is also the "new" SnapTite Bel Air hardtop the was first released around 1999. *NM*
I did not include the snap kit because it was in 1999. The others were released in 2009 (BW) 2011 2 dr sedan, 2013 convertible. I think the snap kit from 1999 was based on the 55-56 kits from 1989 or so. But I am not an expert on this. *NM*
Wow, Don! I didn't think it was possible to make that ol' kit look this good. You sir, are a steely-eyed missile man. *NM*
Thanks for all the comments! *NM*
Nice work Don, polishing the plastic is a nice alternative isn't it...BTW keep up the good work in Collectible Auto, thanks. *NM*
Looking good Don!! *NM*
Having never had that kit in my collection before you made it look terrific Don! *NM*
Way cool.... You absolutely nailed the 80's street cruiser vibe!!! I want to find a set of those wheels for my Revell '83 Cutlass. *NM*
Marty, I have a set of those wheels from the kit he mentioned. If you're interested in them, they're yours. *NM*
Very nicely done!!! *NM*
Sweet pair of 57s!!! *NM*
