1957 Ford Gasser

I haven't build a lot of Gassers so this was an interesting build. As per all the sedan version it has great detail and assembles straight forward. I built this for the box stock class in a model contest and used only the parts in the box but modified the body/chassis/interior to alter the wheelbase and create a flip front end. I was very happy with the results.

This kit has all the great features of the 57 del rio wagon by monogram thrown together with the awesome factor of a gasser. Parts fit like they should with very ltitle prep work needed anywhere

This is another version of the Revell '57 Ford series of kits which includes this 2-door Del Rio Ranch Wagon station wagon and the 300 Sedan . It may be built as a 60s era modified Gasser or a stocker. The decal sheet alone is worth the purchase price. The kit assembles well and has excellent detail. I have purchased several copies and will add kit-bash parts like a supercharged Ford 427 FE engine to a couple of future builds. It also includes the McColluch supercharger from the Fireball Roberts NASCAR 300 Sedan kit, so imagine building a factory prototype of a supercharged 312 c.i. Y-Block Del Rio Ranch Wagon! I hope to see Revell use the pattern of producing series of kits based upon the same vehicle type with different building styles on their other kits such as the '69 Mustang Fastback and the '68 Chevelle, which they can also modify to produce a '69 year model and/or a station wagon or convertible, and as well as different racing categories.
