Originally introduced in 1998 by AMT, this Chevrolet Bel Air model kit is one of those highly detailed model car kits and goes together as easily now as it did in it's first production run. 

Today on the Monster Hobbies Model Car Garage we will be looking at the 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Street Machine Model Kit By AMT/ERTL - Model Car Unboxing Video

The engine in this model kit is a multi-piece affair, typical of AMT in this era. It is a nice representation of the stock 1957 283 cu in (4.3 L) small block Chevy. This engine consists of 19 highly detailed parts including the air cleaner, carburetor, intake manifold, 2-piece engine block/transmission combo, cylinder heads, 3-piece exhaust headers, oil filler spout, oil filter, fuel line filter, distributor cap, fan belt, fan and generator.  The distributor features real wires. All these parts are molded in white plastic. 

The chassis is a beautifully designed unit that includes independent front suspension axle with coil springs,  rear leaf springs, brake drums, two piece rear differential, drive shaft, shock absorbers,  exhaust pipes,  and chrome bumpers.
The suspension is true to the stock ride height. 

The AMT 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Street Machine Model Kit is molded in white and black plastic with the tires molded as a single piece. The kit also includes clear plastic windows for front, rear and side windows. 

This kit can only be built fully factory stock, but the interior seat pattern is unique to the Bel Air.  That being said, you get the stock dashboard and steering wheel. The interior features separate door panels, floor and multi-piece front bench seat and dashboard.

The 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Street Machine Model Kit By AMT/ERTL is molded with the distinctive Chevrolet Bel Air chrome body trim pieces. 

The kit’s decal sheet features many of the hard to paint factory stock graphics to dress up your car, but basically consists of licence plates, wheel trim, battery and under-hood stickers. 

The kit is well detailed and goes together easily. 

No matter how you build it, this is one fun model kit!
