1957 AMT Bel Air kit.

The kit that has probably had the most mixed reviews I've ever seen, lots of the complaints about it are true, fitment issues, warped plastic, so much flash that you melt it all down and cast an entirely new car . The kit was terrible and not that many parts. the only complaints I have are the windshields had little excess so that I can glue it into the body without the glue staining some of the windshield. The engine needed some tinkering so it would fit under the firewall, my hood wasnt even and just didn't fit correctly, the rear bumper wouldnt fit evenly. Since there was some issues with parts on the outside, I decided to take a chance and try weathering and rust for the first time ever. I think weathering and the rust effects came out very nicely for my first attempt at it.

Nice old Bel Air.  Well done.

Real nice 57, excellent weathering!

Looks good!

I recently built this one as well and as you said, it's not the best. I had to do a pile of cleanup and the back window had to be just right or it fell through. I really like '57s though and this one is about $20 here so I'll probably hoard a few

The weathering looks pretty good!

Nice work, looks fresh from the barn with the weathering.

Looks really good. I do not get it, I have never had an issue with this kit
