stavanzer Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Thanks, Dave. That Chrome Tree has more parts, than I remember seeing in the most recent issue of the kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right? And as you can see, there's even a few parts missing off of that original tree probably sitting in the box i pulled it out of.

stavanzer Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Yes, I wonder what else is hiding in plain sight on that sprue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plowboy Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Does the current issue of this kit have the rib detail on the insert on the quarter panels or is it flat? If it's still flat in that area, one could fix the side trim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One nice thing about that though, is that by modifying (shortening) the spear on the top of the fin, you can make a 210 hardtop.

espo Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 I think that AMT offered a decal to be used on the sides for the Bel Air trim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motor City Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 As I recall, it was Revell's '57 Nomad that had the ribbing molded in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That kills that model for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you see it, you can't unsee it. That's where the Revell SnapTite and the new tool AMT 57s come in. But the olf tool 57 does offer a plethora of cool vintage custom and speed equipment, along a nice pair of Chrome reversed wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
