1957 Chevy Bel Air (amt 1/25)

[1959scudetto]

Another one of my old builds from about 1984: one of my favorite US classics, amt's (original) 57 Bel Air HT. As usual, auto laquers from the can, trim and whitewalls brushed with Humbrol enamels.

What a nice looking 57 Helmut.  Still looking good.  Looks like freshly competed model.

Thank you, Bob - the 57 Bel Air is one of my 50's favorite.

Thanks Lee, Jim, Greg and Mario for the nice words - chrome is simply brushed on, the color was at hand then.

Looks really nice!  Never would have guessed it was an older build.  She has held up so greatly..
