cobraman Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 I have built a couple of these and really like them . I ordered two kits from HL . This is the first one I finished . Was inspired by a pic I found on the web . Not exact but kinda sorta . Body work could have been better . It looked good in primer ! Painted with Tamiya red with Duplicolor 1k clear . Trim is Moloto because my BMF is BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH . Interior is Short Cuts red with kit decals on the seats . Wheel centers were given a coat of Mr. Hobby bronze . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy grumpy Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Really nice build Ray, I like what you did with the trim. Depending on the subject matter , I like to build snappers (recent ones) once in a while, they build quick and in the proper hands give beautiful results like you did with this Chevy. Great job.

Cool Hand Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Done well. I like the look without the rear quarter panel molding. Look forward to seeing your next version. The more builds I see of this snap kit, the more I itch to dig one out the stash and build. Soon...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TooOld Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Well done Ray , you've got quite a shelf full of 57's by now ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bisc63 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Nice job! IMHO no collection of '57 Chevy models is complete without one or two of these excellent kits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zippi Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Looks pretty good to me. That color of red looks really good. Great looking 57. I need to try one of these kits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted January 10, 2022 Author Share Posted January 10, 2022 Thank you Carl and Bob. Bob, I can highly recommend this kit. Simple to build and looks darn good when done IMO. I would love to see your take on one. Body is molded in red if that's a deal breaker for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
