    I fancy this built as a street rod, orange and white, white interior. Your imagination and taste will reward you in spades

      Thanks for watching, I will be starting this kit this month, just setting up my new workshop. Orange and white would look sharp, I will keep it in mind. Cheers

      Thanks Wayne and I am waiting for the convertible to get up here to Ontario, I have some of my birthday money set aside. Maybe you can do a review of the convertible? Cheers

    Just ordered one-got the Bel air already but badly built but hope they re-issue that one aswell.
    This will be only the third big scale kit ive ever bought as its normally 1/24/25 in my collection.Other 1/16 ive got is a Don Garlits Dragster-rear engine i bought in 87.

      Thanks for stopping by, the Nomad has always been a great kit to build and I see that Round 2 is releasing the 55 Bel Air convertible in June, I will be picking 1 up . Cheers

      Cool, would like to see a video or 2 of your work and your real 55 Chevy. I once owned a 57 Belair sport coupe back in the mid 70's. Cheers

      Thanks for watching Michael, these larger kits are a good change of pace for me. This should be a 2017 build for sure. Cheers

    Nice review' just ordered this kit' will watch your build, and look through your order build video.

    • @TrueNorthModels
      @TrueNorthModels  7 лет назад

      Thanks Paul, this is a good kit, but old. This is a down the road build as I am searching for quite a bit of aftermarket items to bring up the level of detail. Cheers

    • @militarymodellerpaul5932
      @militarymodellerpaul5932 7 лет назад

      Wayne Osborne. Well I was going to look for aftermarket bits as well. I'm building my first car a 1955 chevy pickup, a challenging build but different. It was funny ordering this kit and then finding your video' thank you for showing the kit.

    • @TrueNorthModels
      @TrueNorthModels  7 лет назад +1

      You are doing a great job on the truck, your skills as a military builder will serve you well building cars. Check out TDR Innovations for the 1/16 scale aftermarket parts for the Nomad, they are 3D printed by Shapeways and can get very expensive. Cheers

    • @militarymodellerpaul5932
      @militarymodellerpaul5932 7 лет назад

      Wayne Osborne, Well I just test fitted the engine in the kit "1/25 Chevy 1955 cameo main body frame" and it does't fit at all frustration" bit of a shock. Not sure how to proceed? Will be looking for solution later tonight.

    • @militarymodellerpaul5932
      @militarymodellerpaul5932 7 лет назад

      Just to say' I extended the drive shaft and altered the front engine mounting brackets on the cars main frame. Well I can now move on lol.

    I just came across your channel today and I have watched a few of your videos and really enjoyed them. Also, I've really enjoyed this review ( great review ) and I very much liked how you talked about the kit from when you built it back in 78, it all goes a long way with me and makes a great review even better. Thanks and I am looking forward to watching more of your channel. Jeff

    • @TrueNorthModels
      @TrueNorthModels  7 лет назад

      Thanks Jeff, I appreciate the comment and the support. This is a future build that I am collecting aftermarket parts for before I start the build. Cheers

    good review Wayne. It would look kick A$$ with a 409 in it.

    • @TrueNorthModels
      @TrueNorthModels  7 лет назад

      Thanks Rick and I agree, that 409 would look great, just too darn expensive. Cheers

      No problems Dwayne, that is why I did the review, there is not much info on the kit on RUclips. Should be a fun build. Cheers

    Looks pretty good Wayne, especially being AMT, have you looked over at TDR innovations for aftermarket parts? Can get expensive, :) Tom

    • @TrueNorthModels
      @TrueNorthModels  7 лет назад

      Thanks for watching Tom, I wouldn't hesitate buying from TDR if I was going on a show circuit, but, that 409 engine is just too expensive to have just sit on a shelf. I am looking for a 1/16 Corvette to steal the engine from. Cheers

    • @ramblers69
      @ramblers69 7 лет назад

      Wayne Osborne I can understand that Wayne, I have spent a lot on aftermarket parts myself, Tom

    • @TrueNorthModels
      @TrueNorthModels  7 лет назад

      On the other hand, if I built it for ACME, then it makes perfect sense to blow the budget, right.

      Hi Sammy, my plan was to start this kit in September, but, I have not even started looking for the aftermarket parts for it. It could still happen depending on the aftermarket. Cheers
