Chris White Posted June 16, 2013 Posted June 16, 2013 This is one of the first box stock kits I have done in while. This is the one that got me through my builder's slump. So I had some fun, purple testors one coat, and lots of BMF. As always bring on the critics, that why we do this, right??? Which kit do you guys prefer the AMT version here or Revell's version?
57lover Posted June 16, 2013 Posted June 16, 2013 love it..i like the revelle better i need to finish gettin mine built lol and this is pushing me to hop on the bench
PappyD340 Posted June 16, 2013 Posted June 16, 2013 Great job Chris, I had a buddy in school that had one painted Chrysler Plum Crazy, I think it looks fantastic!!
Chris White Posted June 16, 2013 Author Posted June 16, 2013 Very nice, my beef with it, tranny pan seam. Me too, you guys don't miss much
Porscheman Posted June 16, 2013 Posted June 16, 2013 Excellent build and color The AMT is nice, but I prefer the Revell.
doggie427 Posted June 16, 2013 Posted June 16, 2013 What AMT version is this ? It came with minitubs ?

Scalper Posted June 16, 2013 Posted June 16, 2013 Nice build for getting out of a slump. nice and clean. bmf perfect, Paint smooth. critic? ok one. tires need to be sanded. Andre =.
Jantrix Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 Well, I had no idea this kit was so nice. Mini-tubs and a big block? Sweet. Critique? I'd have removed the place where the exhaust pipes meet in the middle, The seam is ............. unseemly. Thank you, thank you, I'll be here all week. Also the red oxide from the chassis is odd to see in a wheel well. I'd have painted the chassis flat black or body color. All in all, I think you have a well built model there.
slusher Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 Excellent looking build Cheis. Foil and paint look flawless. l have only built the amt 57 chevies so far..
crazyjim Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 It's purple. It's SHINY :) . What's not to like? Terrific build.
Teds57 Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 have built both and i prefer the revell kit better body and more accurate
PARTSMARTY Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 (edited) LOOKS NICE.I LIKE BOTH THE REVELL AND AMT DEPENDING ON WHAT RELEASE IT IS.I HAVE AN APRROX 50 YR. OLD RESTO. TO DO-HOPEFULLY SOON. Edited June 17, 2013 by PARTSMARTY
Steven Zimmerman Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 This is a great out of the box kit, and is a good example of a 'back halved ' car. Only thing that's not representative ( IMHO) are the cast iron exhaust manifolds, Should have had tubular headers. And while there IS a seam on the exhaust cross over, that pipe SHOULD BE THERE !....I'm planning on building this right out of the box, with the exception of flipping the front spindles.....'Z'
Chris White Posted June 19, 2013 Author Posted June 19, 2013 Thanks again, Guys. I appreciate to comments and suggestions
Nick Winter Posted June 19, 2013 Posted June 19, 2013 I love these late 90's AMT '57 chevies. built 1 and working on another, have the stock version waiting too. yours looks great, will I see it in Toronto in September? Nick
tooltas Posted June 19, 2013 Posted June 19, 2013 I am on #3 of this kit one is box stock the 2 is a thad hotter the 3 is in works the older revel fits the frame of is kit.
heinz74 Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 it looks great..a 57 eats up a lot of BMF i guess... i myself will have to do the small scale once..i believe the Revell kits are better...but looking at yours ,i kinda wonder why? you get a free bottle of Jack with a Revell?,..cause i think AMT nailded it, i see no flaws in it Nice build!!
