Background information:
The '57 Chevrolet Bel Air is more than just a car; it is a symbol of the 1950s and an American classic. When it was introduced, it set new standards in design and performance, especially with the optional fuel-injected 283-horsepower V8 engine. This kit brings not only the car, but also a piece of glorious automotive history to your collection. Bring this masterpiece to life with your own hands and enjoy every detail, from the gleaming chrome parts to the powerful engine.
The 1957 Chevrolet is a car that was introduced by Chevrolet in September 1956 for the 1957 model year. It was available in three series models: the upscale Bel Air, the mid-range Two-Ten, and the One-Fifty. A two-door station wagon, the Nomad, was produced as a Bel Air model. An upscale trim option called the Delray was available for Two-Ten 2-door sedans. It is a popular and sought after classic car. These vehicles are often restored to their original condition and sometimes modified. The car's image has been frequently used in toys, graphics, music, movies, and television. The '57 Chevy, as it is often known, is an auto icon.
The 1955 model year Chevrolet introduced its now-famous small-block V-8 It has a displacement of 265 cu in (4,340 cc). Prior to 1955, Chevrolet offered a 235 cu in (3,850 cc) displacement in-line 6-cylinder engine only. 1955 Chevrolets went on to dominate drag racing and became a formidable force in circle track racing. In 1956, the design was lengthened somewhat in front and given a more squarish treatment; under the hood, engine power increased and a Chevrolet Corvette engine was available for the first time in a full-size passenger car. In 1957, the V-shaped trim on the tail fins was filled with a ribbed aluminum insert exclusive to the Bel Air's upgraded trim level. The fuel-injected engine represented the first time that an internal combustion gasoline engine in a passenger car reached an advertised one horsepower for each cubic inch benchmark, although the Chrysler 300B beat that by a year in its 355-horsepower, 354 c.i.d dual-carburetored engine, and the Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint was introduced a year earlier than that (1954), with a 79 cubic inch (1290cc) engine that produced 80 hp. In NASCAR racing, the 283 with its increased horsepower, gave the 1957 a dramatic advantage over the smaller 265 V8 the 1955 and 1956 cars had. NASCAR held the competition, especially the 1955-57 Chevrolet to a cubic inch restriction because of all the races the 1957s were winning. This restriction stayed with the 1955-57 until they were grandfathered out of the lower NASCAR divisions in the 1970s as the 1957 was still beating virtually all in their class. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ

I'm 15 min into this video and it amazes me how many parts that you don't paint before assembly. I prep/paint as many parts on the tree and touch up with paint marker if needed upon assembly. To each his own obviously...its a hobby for fun. I enjoy watching and appreciate you taking the time to document this for everyone. There's always some tips to pick up and even more knowledge in the kit it self and what's involved...details and assembly wise. This helps me decide if I wanna pursue the kit or not. So seeing the kit contents and parts detail is invaluable to me. And yes I have plenty of kits squared away for decades that...fingers crossed everything is OK. I did start opening some of the vintage kits upon purchase and wrapping the glass in napkins to avoid scratches. I haven't built a model in a good while, but I continue to buy them..because come retirement I plan on getting back into it more seriously. And they'll be cheaper now then later. Thanks for the great content!!!
Really like the seperate chassis parts and interior parts.Revell has really raised the bar compared to what they made way back in the "day". Progress is wonderful.
So true. I like the Trumpeter ones better. I have the Queen Mary 2 the Platinum Special.
2:27 😂 "We also have a set of 4 wheel pins. Do not lose those." As 1 falls out of the package unnoticed. It appears though that it avoided the bare floor portal to the underworld and the carpet monster. Whew. Crisis averted.
There is wilwood decals too...😊
Also, great timing on the pin falling outta the bag as you were saying "do not lose those!!"
😂🤣👍🏾
Thank you for preserving an accurate history of American automobiles . ✨🇺🇸✨
Really nice results Chris! Colors are great, that package shelf looks almost like fabric on camera. Revell did a nice job on this one. Thanks for the review. 😎
I really like how you did this one..!! Looks like a kit I will get when possible. Thanks again brother. :)
Agree, those colors look perfect. And yes a model for modelers.
gorgeous! simply put. may buy it, i wonder who might make chevy's dusty rose pink from that year, looked good on daddys wagon we had when i was little, along with the gunmetal, applied the way you did yours, silver and black interior, large cragars from revell's 65 chevy truck,, hmmm, love it chris, nice bumble bee, see you on the next one
Always hit up "Scale Finishes" for stock colors, always follow their directions!
An AMT '57 issue circa 99-2000 has that salmon color on the box.
Can't go wrong with a tri-five!
Dang!!! I was just expecting it to be a repop of the old Monogram '57!!!! Now, if they could only make a '57 Nomad kit as good as this...
Dude I really need to get back into model cars. I really need to finish my AMT 1958 Impala
Really cool. Nice build. Would be awesome if the rubber front bullet bumperettes for the grill were also an option and that the grill insert was a separated part so we could remove it to make a custom version.
I'm pretty sure those rubber cones are on the parts trees.
@@hpiguy They are? I didn't see them. That's cool. And since this release is new, I can't find the instruction .pdf file yet.
built a 57 convertible to resemble my old one used my dremel and ground down the grill bar then used the custom Buick grill from the AMT 57 think I had to do a little filing and sanding but the grill fit perfectly
I’m definitely picking up one of these. I last built this kit as the One-Fifty/Black Widow version. Best detailed ‘57 Chevy kits ever. I appreciate the separate rear seat, wipers, exhaust, suspension, etc. Allows me to build an accurate oval track racer or drag car.
(I only wish the Bel Air trim on the quarter panels were separate so that one could build a Two-Ten model; but I’m just nitpicking.)
That one turned out very nicely! It looks good.
From the thumbnail, I thought you made [it] a taxi. :-)
"Do not lose these pins!"
One falls out of the bag, unremarked... :)
that would be me have several kits I bought In the late 80s bought them "to build" and here they are almost 40 years later still sealed
This turned out very nice!
Color choices - Bee - you - tea - FULL ! !
Optional equipment - nice choices
Your fit and finish - looks so real.
Thanks for sharing...
Nice base color for the engine
That is a TON of parts for a 1/25 scale car! Pretty awesome!
Vary impressive outcome Chris I like colors an thank you for the time you invest in your video's
Looks like a reissue of the Black Widow kit with some added extras. That's one I'll definitely buy. Great job!
Include me among those with decades old kits in my stash.😂
Really like this build,you always make your works look so easy.Wish mine went together as nice.I'm inspired to build this kit,right now!
That gold is fantastic! And that airbrush booth would be amazing.
your nicest build yet!
Love the 50's Chevy kits (55-56-57) kits. Extra parts? Nah!!!! Those parts go on other kits and the parts box. Great video and review, keep up the great work. Have a great day!
That's one mean looking Bel Air Chris!
I really love these two in one kits and the resto mod set up looks really good in terms of the wheels and suspension. That's definitely the look I would go for or I would get two to do the standard and upgraded versions. However, I would love to see an engine from a more modern Corvette as the alternative engine in one of these resto mod kits.
A beautiful build as always.
This is a great looking car - love the colors you chose. Especially like the yellow steering wheel.
This kit would have a lot of parts and decals you could use for other models as well!
Very nice work.
I love the color combination that you chose.
Love the gold paint job. And so true I have a couple early 90s stock car kits. Great video as always. Have a great weekend.
nice job chris i do prefer to build my kits factory stock but sometimes i will build a resto mod
I like the way thay have the breaks an the suspension together
Car looks great love the paint
That looks awesome.
My dream car.
Man, that thing looks good! I bought an AMT '57 2dr post model at a swap meet last month and the model inside is a hardtop. The picture on top and ends of the box were of a post car. The pictures on the box sides were of a hardtop. The pic on the front of the instructions was another shot of a post but, in instructions it was a hardtop. I though it was going to be nice building a post!
I enjoy your reviews, you provide an excellent resource to see what a kit is like before laying down $30.00 plus of your hard earned money. I love your attitude of doing it YOUR way. Its a hobby for most of us, do it for fun. The only way to do modeling wrong is to not have fun. this isnt a criticizim, but i dont understand why you always stress how easy or difficult it is to put the tires over the assembled wheels. You can always assemble the wheel halves around the tires.
Greetings from the UK, love all your builds,unfortunately here in the UK i can't always find the the models you show,
The interior is great i think I'm going to do something like that on my 71 Demon 😈 I'll be starting on soon
Gotta get me one of these kits ! Great job !
Nice work Chris!
Have you ever shown you collection of complete models and how you display/store them?
Really cool 👍
Very clean. I like your choice of colors.
This came out really nice
Turned out great
It looks like project X with that shade of yellow
You nailed the Rest Mod look, love the color combo's you chose. Great looking kit, it's on my build list.
Thanks for everything you do for the hobby Chris.
Nice build 😀😅
Very nice build of a well engineered model kit. Nice color choices. This kit certainly has limitless possibilities. Thanks for sharing.
Box art is always nice an gives you a starting point idea
Sensacional; belo trabalho...!!! Show...😉✅️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Great job mate👍
I love the body color! Awesome job
I love it when you show and use new products! I bought two bottles of Aleene's tacky glue and I just LOVE it! Saw the Frog Tape and just ordered that as well. Keep those product endorsements coming! If YOU use them, they MUST be good.
Rock on, Brother!
Awesome build Chris. You knock out of the park again.
That looks like a sweet kit!
I really like that interior
Guilty as charged on the 30+ year old models sitting in the stash, but I look at them as fine wine LOL; anyway good advice on the tires, I do this from day one, same for the chrome and clear parts which in the past weren't bagged. A couple of years ago I had to sell a lot of my kits to pay the bills and I'm sure the new owners, builders and collectors appreciated my protective measures. Anyway, great build as always and looking forward towards the next one Chris! Cheers Luc.
This kit is great. I've built it multiple times. While I'm sad they didn't include those alternate 'big baby moon' wheels from prior releases, it's not surprising since they wouldn't fit unless you altered them.
WOWSERZZ Chris 😱😱😱😱 Another Beautiful " CLASSIC " For Your Collection Buddy 🏆🏆🏆🏆 Thanks For Sharing n Have a Blessed Wknd 🙏🤗 Gary.
With me, growing up in the 80’s and my location I mostly built Revell, Monogram back when they were separate identities, and MPC and Poller Light, plus the occasional Airfix because they were the only ones available. It wasn’t until the 2000’s I started building Bandai kits others Japanese brands, the only group that didn’t interest me was the Gundam kits yes I watched the cartoons, but they’re what you call a shake n make kit.
Great job, Chris! That is one sharp looking model. :)
Nice job Chris.👍
Very nice Christopher
You could drive a model car though the spaces on that first chrome sprue.
It looks like they gave this model a mixture of Bel Air and 210/150 trim. Most of the trim appears to be Bel Air trim, but the short chrome pieces on the tops of the fins is from the 210 and 150 series cars. The Bel Air trim pieces go from the tips of the fins almost to the base of the C-pillars along the tops of the fins.
You don't often see two door pillared sedan kits.😛
I gotta git that one too
Great video. Any idea when it will be released. I can’t find any info
Awesome color! Great job, as always. I have yet another question if you don't mind. I am getting away from building miniatures and into building scale model cars. I have a load of paints by Pro Acryl, Vallejo and Citadel just to name a few. These paints are all matte colors. Using an airbrush, if I painted a car body with these paints and then sprayed (when dry, of course) a gloss clear coat over them would I get a nice glossy model? Or would it be semi gloss?
Just curious, I noticed you really spray heavy, so do you use a dehydrator, what temp setting and how long before you start to handle.
Did they fix the front bumper proportions?
When does this kit get released
Do you use flat black primer and a gloss coat over that for depth of color or is it because gloss black Rustoleum and Krylon take forever to dry? Tamiya sprays are pretty good, eh?
This kit is a modified version of revells very very old 57 chev kit....I honestly do not know it's original issueing date but I know I built it in the early 1980's as a kid myself several times
That comment....it'll be fun if we just make it vague....lmmfao that's great
Curious, why Gundam marker? The tamiya stuff is called panel line accent.
How are You able to hose that Tamiya paint on like that? When I did it, it cracked up like I cant even describe it. Whats the secret?
Always scrape away the Chrome b 4 u glue Chrome parts together or glue won’t hold.
Hey would you be able to give me the Artist/Song Title of the song used near the 10 minute mark of this video? I've been trying to find it for ages. Love your videos, just recently got into modeling myself at the ripe old age of 42, used to attempt them miserably as a kid. Working on the '53 Ford F100 Coca Cola, hoping to make a 50's gas station diorama for it as well. 😊
Is this the 1960s lemon peel 57 reissued
have built several of theses over the years like the upper grill surround being a separate piece that attaches to the hood although I usually am not really concerned with stuff not being "quite right" my "anal retentiveness" will not let me build an AMT kit without correcting this
First
I gave you a thumbs up for the build. If I could I'd give Revell a thumbs down!! First off that's NOT a Bel-Air!! All Bel-Airs were hard top cars ( NO B Pillor )!!!
This body style is a 210! I really don't get all the stock options. The '57 family car didn't have disk brakes from the factory much less on all 4 corners. Sad really!!!
I'll likely pick up one or two when they hit the discount stores. The 210 did and still does make a fantastic drag car. When I do get a couple ( at discount prices ). I'll use the body and build gasseres out of both. My chassis my big block engine, and my interior. The rest of the kit will hit a sale group to recup cost.
It would have been easy to make a great kit out of this body. 😌
My man, the disc brakes are the lowered restomod option parts. You can build it stock height with the stock parts shown.
I'm no expert and don't pretend to be but it took only a half a second to find one for sale with a B pillar.
