happy grumpy Posted June 6, 2022 Posted June 6, 2022 I've had this kit since they came out. I finished it last year. I don't know how accurate it is but they go together real easy. I like the black&white combo on this model. Tamiya Spray lacquers black and pure white were used. Top coat of TS 13. Straight out of the box. Thanks for having a look . 3
Zippi Posted June 6, 2022 Posted June 6, 2022 Oh boy Mario.....we got a Looked here. I like the 57 150 series. Great job.
Jim B Posted June 6, 2022 Posted June 6, 2022 That looks great. I have this kit on the bench right now.
bisc63 Posted June 6, 2022 Posted June 6, 2022 Oh, that is so nice! Revell really captured the nuances of the complex curves of the front view of the '57. The grille/surround/bumper looks just right on this model, and I especially love how your model sits. Is it straight from the box with regards to the stance, or did it require tweaking? Great build!
TransAmMike Posted June 6, 2022 Posted June 6, 2022 Looks cool Mario of the famous "Black Widow" '57. I've had 2 in waiting for over 2 years....need to get one done. Great job!!?

Thanks Bob, I agree, the 150 series is a nice departure from the usual Bel air line (which is just as beautiful BTW). 1 hour ago, Jim B said: That looks great. I have this kit on the bench right now.

Thanks Rusty, it is box stock, I did not tweak anything, the parts all lined up perfectly. 1 hour ago, TransAmMike said: Looks cool Mario of the famous "Black Widow" '57.

Thanks Mike, if you haven't open your kits, I heard that the first run they released back then had a few kits having the wrong body, they had the bel air instead of the 150, it was quickly fixed but that would be a bummer. Hope you got the right one. 41 minutes ago, cobraman said: That is a very nice and tidy model. Well done ! Thanks Ray, appreciated. 1
espo Posted June 7, 2022 Posted June 7, 2022 Beautiful looking build. This and the Bel Air sedan parts are interchangeable, and you can make just about anything you can imagine. Your pictures look like someone could walk up and drive this away. 1
Ace-Garageguy Posted June 7, 2022 Posted June 7, 2022 (edited) Nice to see a high-quality build of a stock lower-line car like a lot of people actually used for basic transportation. Edited June 7, 2022 by Ace-Garageguy 1
David G. Posted June 7, 2022 Posted June 7, 2022 Beautiful work as always Mario! It's nice to see one of these built. David G. 1

TNT Posted June 7, 2022 Posted June 7, 2022 That looks great. Looks like a sleeper ready to eat up some fords. 1

ea0863 Posted June 8, 2022 Posted June 8, 2022 Beautiful build Mario, and great color choices - the black and white with all that chrome looks so formal on this style car. But, above all - I love the way you photograph your models. You've even got the shadows down pat! Thanks for posting. 1
ewetwo Posted June 9, 2022 Posted June 9, 2022 Excellent! Always loved the black and white two tone. 1
TooOld Posted June 9, 2022 Posted June 9, 2022 Love the black & white , a real classic look ! Well done ! 1
Chuckyg1 Posted June 10, 2022 Posted June 10, 2022 That's one tough guy lookin' for a fight. Very ncie 1
