I had the Revell 56 Chev issued in the mid sixties. It was not an easy kit to build. Opening doors and trunk that didn't fit well. Sink marks galore. The kits high points were the parts detail. The small block V8 was the best.
They are pretty detailed. I have a newer version of the 55, I cut the front end to build a lift off front end, the body turned out to be a paint mule, Maybe someday?
Nice video Billy. Some neat old kits. Boy those tri-5 kit boxes bring back memories. The ‘57 kit is typical fiddly old school Revell. If you really want to build it Atlantis re-popped it.
I haven't built any of them sadly. I have a newer version of that 55, but big thoughts turned nightmare, body is a paint mule, but the old kit will be built,,,someday??
Hi Terry, Thanks for stopping by! That Rubber Duck is one of several versions of the 'ol VW bus according to scalemates. I am going to inventory that kit today?
Nice video Billy. Some cool old kits. The tri5 Chevies brought back memories. Great kits but typical fiddly old school Revell. Too bad about the 57. Atlantis reissued it if you really want to build one. The old Aurora kit is like a cherry on top.
The Revell Tri Five kits, '55, '56, '57 and '57 Nomad station wagon are classics in their own right. I bought all of those kits many times over and the '57 kit you have has the Street Classics logo in the upper right hand corner and that might have the Official Racing Patch Offer. I did send away and got all of the patches, that was 50 years ago.
I haven't built any of the tri-5's, I have started the 55 Nomad I got from a friend, he cut the top off for the "Camino" look, but I have stalled on it, Thanks for checking out the video! Great story about the Patches!
@@williambayer1146 That AMT kit came with the option of what is called the Pick Up Top as well as chrome bed rails. It had cool mags, headers that dumped out behind the front wheels and fuel injection stacks.
@@williambayer1146 ya, sometimes it just takes a rare box art pic/thumbnail or just chance of luck, but allot has to do with their messed up computer controlled Al Gore Rhythms ☺️... Just hit the right notes now n then, too bad it usually doesn't last very long for the little guys guys!
That 65 chevy pickup I have that one and building it now the only thing I don't like about it is the hood is in 3 parts but a nice hall 🐎Mr. ED Say just have fun modeling
The General Lee had 3 engines three, first was a 318, the second was the 383, the third was the 440. The 383 was the only engine ever shown in the series. So you should try and get the 383 to be accurate. Have a great day.
Nice stash adds. I bought the Rubber Duck van last year. Thanks
Thanks Sam ! I don't know if I am going to build the "Duck" or pass it along? Nice of you to stop by!!
