Jordan White Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 As the title states, post your built Revell-o-gram 1/12 scale '57 Bel Airs. Since many threads that I've seen have pictures that don't exist anymore, I figured it would be cool for everyone to post 'em up here. Here's mine as of now (though I plan on rebuilding it this summer): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deja-view Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 (edited) Here's my first and only attempt of the 1/12 '57 from about 15+ years ago. The colors made it a real pita, and I overdid some of the detailing for sure. I added disc brakes all around, and coil-overs for the rear, headers, etc., and tried to create a race injected 350 ZR-1 engine with limited success. The interior is cloth button-tuck using pin heads, and vinyl. Full trunk detail with tools, stereo amps, blah, blah. Insanity! Next time I'll opt for a simpler theme.

Jordan White Posted February 21, 2012 Author Share Posted February 21, 2012 (edited) That's awesome ken! Looks like how I'm planning on doing mine, with body color bumpers and trim. Since this will be one of the only large scale builds I'm doing (or rather redoing), I'm going to go into detail with it. Oh, how did you end up hinging your doors?

mikethepoormodeler Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Here are three I did a few years ago. Actually, I just built the aqua/white one. The other two I just did some color flipping on. The yellow one looks sort of like the four door '57 done on Wheeler Dealers, but the pink one looks like a Pepto Bismol factory exploded on it!! It was a fun build. I did some detail on the engine, but I don't have any pictures. Enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deja-view Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 (edited) Hosted on Fotki Jordan; If you look at the top front corner of the door you can see a white vinyl coated wire. That is the typical "U" shaped hinge, but it and the lower are inserted into box tubing that runs almost the length of the door and also on the inner body panel. It need the length to support the heavy door and if I need to remove the door for repairs or changes I can slide it off the hinge (or adjust it). Mike; Your #3 gives new meaning to "hot pink".

Jordan White Posted February 21, 2012 Author Share Posted February 21, 2012 Cool, I was thinking of how I'm going to hinge the doors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadkill Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 G'day guys, here's my sad attempt at a raceing '57. I chopped the roof and body, converted to right hand drive, replaced, wheels, tires, brakes and suspension, moulded bumpers. Hope you like.

deja-view Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Michael; that's really cool. I don't think I've ever seen one done like yours. The chopped roof and dechromed sides are awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sixties Sam Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Here's my 1/12 57 with the teardrop trailer I scratchbuilt for it. I built the car about six years ago, and made the trailer and diorama in 2009. The trailer uses the 57's stock wheels. Here are some hitch details. Here it is in my campground diorama. I forgot to paint the rubber bullets on the bumper black - fixed 'em later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
