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.

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!!!

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.)

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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?

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. 😌
