Dominik Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 (edited) Here i will show you my 1954 Chevy 210 Sedan (no Bel Air as written before - thanks Steve, Mike!) . its the old Revell Kit, out of the "Hot Rod"-issue with three Chevys (1954, 1955 and 1957). terrible.....after some brainwork and about one week working on it, i feel o.k. with the result. All rust is painted with airbrush, no rustholes or anything similar. the rusty paintjob needs a fast hour. I only wanted the weathered look outside. Interieur, engine and bottom is "Stock new". Lowered the suspension, rims are from his Bro (a 51 Bel Air who will follow next here), wheels from my 57 Ford Fairlane. Thats all. Here we go with the pictures. bad shot on the interieur Comments welcome, feel free to say what you think Edited November 1, 2015 by Dominik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace-Garageguy Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 One of the best builds I've ever seen of this kit...and perfect weathering colors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Geiger Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 A friend of mine had a 52 - 54 Chevy (I forget which year) in those same colors, in about that same rusty patina condition. His had rust streaks coming down from the chrome strip, as the chrome clips always rusted behind the trim. His was a four door sedan and he had nice mag wheels on it. The perfect patina rod! He used to take his kids out for ice cream in it during the summer. I can almost smell the aging vinyl interior! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Joy Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Well done, like it a lot. I've got to get off my keester and do a 53 for my dad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike 51 Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 If only Revell had put as much effort into designing that kit as you did in building it... oh and it's a 210 sedan, not a Bel Air Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lizard Racing Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Great detail!The first car I remember as a kid was a '54 Chevy 2-door in about that same color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Can-Con Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 I'm really not a big fan of "patina rods" but I gotta say, that's about the best build of that kit I've seen yet ! [Mike's right though, that's a 210, BelAirs were the top level Chevys and had the wide trim on the back with contrasting paint color inside.] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peekay Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 I like the relatively subtle weathering on this - it's often overdone. Nice work Dominik. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dominik Posted November 1, 2015 Author Share Posted November 1, 2015 Thank you very much for comments, I appreciate it. it was a "quick built" because there are a lot of fittingproblems. some day, i quit when there is toooo much to change...and this one is defenly one to quit. Andy, your asked, why i didn't trim out the stainless stone guards on the quarters. i think you mean the parts in front of the rear wheelhouses? don't know exactly why...but i think, it was the frustration with handling bmf on it (think the foil was to old, won't adhere) and the i took the airbrush to come down with my temper. About the "Bel Air", you are right. i took a look on the box and they say only "54 Chevy". i change the title Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2002p51 Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Nice job on a kit that's no picnic to work with.And I echo what someone else said about your restraint on the rust, very well done without going too far.I had a '54 Chevy in high school. It was a 150, even plainer than your 210. Only cost $50, those were the days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lunajammer Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 As troublesome as these kits are, I think they're worth building because they look so good complete and yours is no exception. Looks really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
