jjsipes Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 Was there ever a 1957 Bel Air continental kit offered in 1/25 scale? Working on prepping an AMT 1957 Bel Air and want to try and build it stock and would love to have a continental kit for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 Not positive about this, but the Revell '57 convertible kit might have one. If it does, it would be the style that attaches to the rear bumper and not the type that moves the stock bumper further away from the body.

I just looked for Revell 1957 Bel Air not for Revell 1957 Chevy. That's a bit much just for a kit just for a few parts for the continental kit. If that kit an up top with I might jump on it. Not a big fan of convertible kits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gman Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 $79.99 is pretty rich for my blood. IIRC, that Revell '57 convertible kit was a pretty short production run. I was waiting for it to come back, but it never has (yet). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 '57 Chebby continental kits don't all look the same. Both of these examples are relatively easily scratchbashed using your existing kit components and a little styrene. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjsipes Posted June 23, 2023 Author Share Posted June 23, 2023 Was lucky enough to find one of the Revell 1957 Bel Air Convertible kits today at the GM Carlisle Nationals for $20. Had to snag it at that price. Still factory sealed! Now to see ow the continental kit fits to the AMT kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming the kit designers were as good at arithmetic as a reasonably bright sixth-grader, it should pretty much "bolt on". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raoul Ross Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 I knew I'd seen one before, hope this helps: https://www.3dscaleparts.com/product-page/1-25-chevy-bumper-rack-for-the-57-continental-continental-not-included Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
