Just bought the Revell '56 Nomad and the front bumper and pan seems to stick out farther than it does on the 1:1 Nomads. Anybody know the fix to this?

I haven't built this one yet either..........but looking at the kit it seems the way to go would be to shave the trailing edge of the pan back a bit until it sits right in the front end. Should be an easy fix.

That's one of those "How'd they miss that??" things that makes more work than needed.

The front bumper should need no work as it was the pan that made it look like a battering ram!

Does anyone know if the California Wheels version of the Nomad(which is the latest release of this kit) got the corrections or not?

IIRC I removed about 3mm from the back edge of the pan, test-fitting it and the bumper against the body until it looked right.
