happy grumpy Posted June 6, 2022 Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bisc63 Posted June 6, 2022 Share 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!

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.

Great job!!👌 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 !

espo Posted June 7, 2022 Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted June 7, 2022 Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ea0863 Posted June 8, 2022 Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
