1956 Chevy Custom (Bel Air)

[Dominik]

Based on the new Revell Kit #07663 '56 Chevy Custom i built it in May 2020 as a Stock Version.

I didn't like the wheels, the Custom stuff as showen on the Box. I really liked it stock to fill the gap between the 55 and 57 - fill the gap as long as i get the really old BelAir (with all opening doors).

For a fast build (about two weeks) im happy with the result.

painted out of rattle cans, used BMF for Chrome and lowered the suspension. I didn't mounted the hood ornament, i won't fit.

I agree. Classic color combination. Nice one - for just "filling the gap" *lol*

Beautiful…one of my all time favourite cars.?

Nicely done.  Good looking color combo and foil work.  You always see more of the 55 & 57 Chevy's models and not many of the 56.

Thanks for your comments. Much appreciated.

Good looking 56! I've really started to take a liking to these latley... 56 chevys weren't the most popular but I really don't know why because they are just as beautiful and not too much different from the other tri-fives... I kinda think they're a combination of the 55 and 57...

You've done a lot of great builds over the years, but this may be my favorite.  I really like the colors you chose for this build and am impressed by the way your spray technique has them laying down perfectly.  Kudos on your clean assembly work as well.

Glad to see you posting here again!
