The 1957 Chevy was introduced by the Chevrolet division of General Motors in September 1956. It was available in three series models: the upscale \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Bel Air\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, 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. In 1957 Ed Roth painted a new ’57 Chevy in a custom paint scheme to help promote his California pin striping shop. It was the perfect ride to blazon his name down the side in flaming letters. For 1957, the New Bel Air model was equipped with a fresh 283ci V-8. Additionally, Bel Air had reached the peak of refined retro elegance. Their fins and headlamps were stylish and the interior was spacious, comfortable and elegant.<\/p>\n

For the Modeler:<\/strong> This review is based on the Ed Roth \u00e2\u20ac\u212257 Chevy Bel Air 1:25 Scale Revell Model Kit #85-4306. Revell rates this as a Skill Level 3 for a more advanced builder. The kit includes 185 parts molded in White, Clear and Chrome and Rubber tires. Copyright dates on the chassis and parts date this kit to 1973, making this a Re-Issue or REPOP. That being said it looks like this is a straight re-release of the old 3n1 kit that has been around forever but with Roth decals now. The molding is thicker on the parts not the usual thin parts seen in new kits; also there is some flash to deal with and mold lines. The motor is quite detailed and has 3 different intake options, Roth (Custom), Street or Drag. This motor lends itself to easy aftermarket details! The chassis is straight forward and clean. One note is this kit deletes the Drag tire options and you only get one set of tires. The interior is nicely detailed and a multi-part design due to the trunk and doors opening. The body is nice but all the trim is molded on to it meaning lots of Bare Metal Foil work or Silver Paint Details. Decals include a Roth Flame Job or some basic Drag decals.\u00c2\u00a0 Overall completed dimensions are Length: 8-1\/8″, Width: 3″, Height: 2-1\/4″.<\/p>\n
