Lovefordgalaxie Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Some will remember this old build '57 Chevrolet Bel Air. The kit is one of my favorites, the Revell-Monogram 1:12 scale. The tires are from the old issue Monogram, as the ones Revell included were unusable (were in fact the stock tires from the '69 Camaro kit, and wouldn't accept the white wall inserts). The paint is Tamiya TS-14 black, and I used a lot of spray cans on this baby... Not to mention an entire envelope of BMF... I think my greatest wish in model wise is a 1:12 scale kit of the 1957 Ford Fairlane 500 Club Victoria. I would probably sell all my kits and only build 1:12 Club Vickys for the rest of my life More Bel Air Shots by Lovefordgalaxie, on Flickr More Bel Air Shots by Lovefordgalaxie, on Flickr More Bel Air Shots by Lovefordgalaxie, on Flickr More Bel Air Shots by Lovefordgalaxie, on Flickr More Bel Air Shots by Lovefordgalaxie, on Flickr More Bel Air Shots by Lovefordgalaxie, on Flickr More Bel Air Shots by Lovefordgalaxie, on Flickr 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air by Lovefordgalaxie, on Flickr 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air by Lovefordgalaxie, on Flickr 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air by Lovefordgalaxie, on Flickr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenGuthmiller Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Great work Tulio! I'll bet I've got 5 of these kits lying around that I've never built. Always had good intentions but I think subconsciously I always had "display restrictions" in the back of my mind! Great job! Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always had good intentions but I think subconsciously I always had "display restrictions" in the back of my mind! Great job! Steve Thanks Steve!! Oh My, don't even remember me of the display restrictions... I keep my models, at least most of them inside their original boxes, and this baby, without a box, takes the space of three 1:25 cars. Not to mention I don't have a display box big enough for it. Have to build one with glass. I built one for my Titanic model, and it was a pain.

GMCMAN52 Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Tulio, you can use a fish tank to display your 57 Chevy.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kit Basher Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Wow! That is gorgeous! The paint is amazing. With the right background that would easily pass for a 1:1. Awesome work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miatatom Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 I had to look twice to be sure it wasn't a 1:1! Great work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
