"I was actually glad when this build was over"
roblively1982 (Cantonment, Florida)
I am a big fan of Round 2, but this one missed the mark for me. I have, and always will be, a big fan of the ’55 Bel Air. This model, out of the box, looks like it would be fun and featured enough parts to make it detailed and realistic. The interior builds up perfectly, and looks just neat. The body shell is gorgeous and looks just like the 1:1. Almost everything else is oversimplified and toy-like. The engine is simple. The engine bay is simple. The hood didn’t fit well. Fit was an issue with so many areas of the car. The bumpers didn’t fit well, and cleaning the bumpers takes off a considerable amount of chrome. The front grille fit, but cleaning it removed tons of chrome on the edges. Fitment was so iffy, I didn’t bother with the dahgmar bumper nubs. Fitting the body to the bottom pan was difficult, and I actually had to install the engine after I secured the upper and lower. Seriously, I had to put the model to the side multiple times just to recover from the constant planning, plotting, figuring, tinkering and surgery required to complete it. Once built, it looks just like a ’55 and is very beautiful. I’m just not sure it was worth it.

"'55 Chevy"
edmyers111
In 50+ years of modeling this kit sure was a surprise from AMT. This was kit was the kit from hades that you hear about. It must have been the final kit made at the end of the shift on friday, before a 3 day weekend. Nothing fit together properly, lot of warpage, lots of parts missing or broken off the sprue then broken again. Just a bad kit all around.

I will be building another one soon. Was some twisting to get all tires touching without rocking. Other wise went together very well. Options for engine and interior. Stock version has a little more detail. Little to no molding flash.

When I first opened and started off I was a little disappointed, but as I started planning how to approach the build my opinion changed. Yes some detail is lacking, the molded muffler is a bummer, but the interior and body are very good. I decided to go full blown custom and did some kit bashing. I narrowed the rear axle to use some extra wide tires and added mag wheels from another kit. I used the big block blown engine from AMT 1963 Corvette. I cut out the stock rear seat and used a modern seat insert I had from an AMT 1957 Ford Fairlane, along with the 2 bucket seats. I also cut out the molded muffler and shaved down the exhaust pipes so I can use some custom header pipes and mufflers to add a bit more realism. I'm now having to reengineer how the radiator piece will fit in and look proper. I'll be painting the top half using Tamiya TS45 pearl white and bottom half Tamiya T89 pearl blue. All the chrome molding will get bare metal foil. I'm having a lot of fun kit bashing with this model. There are a lot of great pictures in the gallery to get ideas. Whether you build out of the box or kit bash, enjoy the build.
