What's with all of the self deprecation?! This is a beautiful build/example of a bygone kit. I'd be proud to have it in my display case any day! Nice work, sir!

Looks fantastic, Curtis! I've got one of these, along with a 60 Pontiac kit Trumpeter offered. I'll have to dig them out. I've heard they're not for the faint of heart, but yours looks great! Nice work.

Much appreciated, Greg!

I love everything about this, John. The color choice, as well as the vinyl top treatment is perfect. Engine compartment detail is well done also.

Much appreciated, Mike! Who doesn't enjoy a little candy, right?!

Thanks for the feedback as well as the interesting details regarding the brake upgrade and power booster (or lack thereof) as it related to your '60 Vette. Cheers, Ken, and happy modeling!

Another stunning build, John! Always a treat to see what you've come up with next. -
Beautifully executed! Love the color, and the wheel choice!

I appreciate everyone's kind feedback and questions. Thank you, all! Happy modeling!!

Thanks for the kind words, Noah. My phone is a bit of hit-or-miss when shooting images close up, but here's one that should give you a sense of what's under the hood.

Good evening, all! This project completes the trifecta of kits that have languished on my bench. As with the previous two (56 Delrey, and 57 Chev Convertible), I opted to simply complete this as a box-stock build. Beyond paint, glue and foil, only what came with the kit. I enjoyed the build, but did find myself scratching my head at times regarding some of the decisions made by the kit manufacturer, the most curious thing being the 4-wheel disc brake option, but only offering the factory single reservoir master cylinder, with no power brake booster. All in all, it was an enjoyable build with few issues. Paint Tamiya gold metallic base with Tamiya Transparent red as color coat, followed by Tamiya clear.

Thanks, Mike! It's the Revell kit from 8-9 years ago. Nice kit. The only thing I wish they had done differently, would have been to have the grille and center light bar be separate components. A bit difficult to detail the grille with so much molded in content. Thanks for the comments.

Going through some projects that have been stalled for far too long, this project among them. In an effort to clear the deck, I'm opting to forego the added detail of plug wires, plumbing etc., and instead completing them straight from the box. (I did add flocking for carpet, but otherwise only what was available in the kit. Paint is Model Car World 2706 Lt. Burnt Orange Metallic (57 Chevy Sierra Gold). The kit is incredibly detailed, and was a pleasure to complete. Enjoy!
