View Full Version : Revell '56 Nomad philo426 04-09-2009, 12:34 AM http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee54/philo426/2007_0829Spock0474.jpg Zombie_61 04-12-2009, 05:17 PM Nice! I've always preferred the '55/'56 Nomad over the '57 because I think the more exaggerated Bel-Air coupe/sedan style "tailfins" on the '57 looked out-of-place on the wagon and didn't flow with the lines of the vehicle. scotpens 04-12-2009, 08:45 PM Nice job on the paint and the tricky chrome foil detailing. The real thing is a beauty, though a 2-door "sporty" wagon wasn't terribly practical. People bought it mainly for its looks. The distinctive Nomad roofline lends itself to all sorts of customizing possibilities. With a nip here and a tuck there, it can be grafted onto just about anything.

Has anyone tried to kitbash one? philo426 04-12-2009, 11:42 PM Scott, try The Modelhaus they may have a resin kit of that '55 Olds wagon! vBulletin® v3.8.7, Copyright ©2000-2012, vBulletin Solutions, Inc.
