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!

Nice job, Gustavo! AMT's '36 kit has some inherent issues, but your finished example(s) illustrate that with a little time, attention, and patience, beautiful results can be acheived. Again, nice work!

Looks fantastic!! Loving the color.

Thanks, James! To respond to your question, I owned a '55 back in the late 90s. Providing a picture of the 1:1 car, as well as the 1:25 recreation I did of it using the AMT Bel Air Sedan kit. It required abbreviating the body crease on the front fenders, and elimination of the stainless trim from the front of each of the doors, but otherwise no real differences/modifications.

Venue costs were definitely a factor, but it was also pointed out that some of the host club members had passed away, while others were dealing with serious health issues. Putting on a show of this magnitude takes tremendous effort, and these guys have put in yeoman effort for the past 39 years. No. 40 will be a must-attend for me. Grateful to Rex, Roy, Andy, and all the others who have made this show possible for so long!

I'll take your "one" over a dozen of mine. A sentimental favorite for me, as we had a '64 Bonny convert' when I was in Junior High (early 70s), and it remains one of my favorite cars to this day. Your exceptional build brings back fond memories. I enjoyed the progress string for this as well!

This has been on the bench idle since late summer, however, was able to wrap it up quickly to bring to NNL West yesterday. Kit is Revell's most recent offering. With the exception of parts box wheels and tires, this was built straight from the box. I enjoyed the kit, and felt it was decently engineered. Tamiya Paint: TS-92 Metallic Orange, followed by TS-73 Clear orange, and final clear using TS-13. All feedback warmly received.

'55 210 sedan I owned a number of years back. Model represents the car with full caps and whitewalls, as I added those to the 1:1 at some point, but never thought to get a picture of it with that swap.

Nice build. Great photography. Especially love how you used the light beam/reflection to visually frame the model.

Looks great, Bob!! Loving the color! Open headers will definitely get the attention of neighbors' (and local law enforcement)!!

Nicely done. Well detailed. I think the colors work well too. Love these old 'T's. We can't forget our roots!
