This is the final lap, ladies and gentlemen! I’ve finally finished the weathering on the 57 Black Widow. One important detail on this build is the driver’s door. It has suffered a small racing crash and I tried to add some fresh scratching there. I actually painted over the paint and the decal. Another option would […]

It has been a while since I’ve last posted something about these two racers. As you may remember from the previous posts, I had some trouble with the 1957 Chevrolet Black Widow. I had a small accident that ruined the whole paint and I had to start all over again. The paint looks pretty neat […]

Revell did a great job on this kit, but once you get started, you can see that there is so much more you can do while building the 57 Black Widow Stock Car. On the last post, I’ve shown you some home made details for the Fireball Robert’s Fairlane engine. I used the same details […]

As I’ve told you some weeks ago, we started working on this double project to make a DVD out of it. The idea is to show you how to build classic stock cars. We got inspired by Revell’s Black Widow kit – but that wasn’t enough. Although the kit is great, you can still make […]

I wrote a kit review about this Revell model some time ago. I really liked the kit right from the start. So, when my brother and discussed about our next project, an instruction DVD tutorial, I suggested to build this car in the racer stock car version. By the way, we will be filming this […]

This kit is labeled “Special Edition Series”. And in comparison with the average scale kit, this one is surely special. I wanted to buy since I first saw it! This kit features a 150 Chevy Utlity Sedan (which you can also build as the Black Widow Stock Car). The 150 Chevy Utility Sedan – also called Handyman […]
