Hope Y'all can shed some light on this.

 

The kit is the Revell 1956 Nomad Wagon 2'n1' ... number 4947.

 

Page 4..build step 4.. section 'A" has a build note that says to connect driveshaft

through the "X" brace and onto the transmission.

 

Page 4..build step section "B" ..build step "B" shows a photo with "X" brace.

 

Now the question is ...Where is the "X" brace? ..I know what the part is and what

it does..but the piece is not numbered or in the box !

 

I'm building this kit for a contest and any help will be appreciated.

Thanks

 

p.s. I've dumped all the contents out of the box several times already.

 

It's making me mumble mumble grumble grumble...LOL

This is a build for an online "Tri-Five" contest on another forum..3 month dead line.

I decided to build the '56 Nomad..I like Turtles Wagons.

Made the bubble skirts and visor..added Lakers with shrouds..opened rear window.

Shortened the front bumper apron..scribed scribed scribed the trim and doors.

 

Cut pin head on turn signal lense black wash grill...filled hood..amber turn signals.

 

Mimicked the hooded front head lites on the back with styrene.Built up the lower

rear tail lites with clear acrylic to form a dome like the top lense then painted it clear

red.

have a better 2013 Y'all

Found a 3 dollar 66 Rivi glue bomb at a show in Norfolk Va.
The Buick Nailhead was a bonus..what I needed was the
air cleaner cover. I had second air cleaner in my stash.

First I cut off the snorkels and then used the Dremel to
reduce the sides of the air cleaner..after that I used
sanding sticks to reduce the back and sides.
Need to add a small bullet to the center to give it
a finished look. If done correctly a Kustom only needs the
front wheels showing anyway..
