Thanks, Jürgen. It's regular automotive aerosol followed by a cut and polish a few days later. I tend to rub through to the primer though is the only issue.

Thanks, guys. Although this is the older less detailed kit I liked it so much I bought another:)

Very nice build! Going to head out to Hobby Lobby this week and pick one up. I know they had a couple left last time I looked 2 days ago.

Thanks, Thomas. If you pick up the older basic kit like this one, check the fit of the headlights in the wings before paint. I had to slightly trim the openings on the wings for them to fit nicely. Apart from that, the kit is a pleasure to build.

Great job on this!  Nice color combo!  Love that old issue '57, I've built a number of them over the years!

Thanks, Cliff, Larry. I have a feeling I'll have a few of these in the collection over the coming years too. Such a nice kit to build.

Thanks, James. Maybe after my current build ('79 Chevy Nova) I'll do the other '57 I have.

Great looking 57 

Love the colors 

I think HL has that one and I don't have a 57 in the stay

Thanks, Mike. It's definitely worth picking up. Quick and simple build and looks great when finished.
