Revell reissued this kit not too long ago as an Ed Roth inspired car. You can at least get some up to date info on it. Yes the atlantis version is the re issue of the H-1284 version. It's all good i got the good version from AMT on the way too. It even comes with the photo etch and plug wires which is a first I've seen with AMT kits. It's the 100 year anniversary collector edition version. I'll probably re sell the atlantis kit back on ebay or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is that kit, it's horrible for warping, ill fitment and flash. How I hated kits with opening doors and trucks. Hated them as a kid in the late 70s hate them now. I’ll pass on it.

Bought from a fellow SPAM forum member couple years ago because I wanted another go at it. I may swap the body and interior tub from another AMT ‘57 Chevy kit in my stash. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it 2057 already? I knew there was a reason I feel so old.🤪 Edited April 30, 2022 by NOBLNG 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOBLNG Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 It did have some nice parts in it … like the engine. I intend to use it in my diorama if I ever get around to it.🤔 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup...and it was detail like that that got me hooked on those "awful" "fiddly" Revell kits from the period. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello Depate, have fun with it. Atlantis hopefully worked out the body issues. If not , your a modeler and will make it work, I have a 1955 early revell kit with opening everything and it has flash and every problem a model car can have but I would like to detail the heck out of it and build it some day. Good luck and show us the kit when you get it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found out the hard way when I first bought this kit way back in the late 70s early 80s. It fought me all the way when I didn’t care about building it seriously as a kid. I have a plan to fix the doors on this one just as I’ve done to the ‘57 Ford Fairlane kit - glue them shut. Aside to the hood, the trunk I’ll keep to open and close.

Daddyfink Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 (edited) Probably the only version that is not that bad, is the original issue. Edited May 22, 2022 by Daddyfink 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
