stavanzer Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Buried in all the new product photos, did anybody notice the Wompin' Wagon '55 Box Art in one display? That Box Art is hard to miss. (Original Box Art Shown) Give me this kit! 6 Fresh Tires, New Decals and all the Drag Parts! I've been waiting for Round2 to finally release this kit. It will sell Very Well, I predict. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills72sj Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 I will definitely get this one. I did the El Camino version when it came out in 1973. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Darby Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 From Round2: WOMPIN WAGON AMT '55 CHEVY NOMAD 3-IN-1 (1:25 SCALE) AMT's 3-in-1 '55 Nomad returns better than ever! We've fully retooled the chrome features resulting in improved overall fit-and-finish of the Wompin' Wagon. Adding to the improvements, the decal sheet has also been expanded with stock badging options and more! For the custom gasser builders we've also included optional red tinted glass in this version as well. Look for this chromed-out Chevy to hit hobby shelves soon! Due Early 2023. Preproduction samples subject to improvements in production. #AMT1297 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Nunes Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 No doubt it is what it is, although with the upgrade it should be a fun build for those who can appreciate the release. Looking forward to seeing the kit on my shelf and workbench. 👌 Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1972coronet Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 I'll have to grab one this go'round, as I've never had a copy of any of its releases (don't know why). I'd be keen on the 1/16 scale Nomad receiving some upgrades, too. Put some vintage options in that rascal (ditch those awful tyres for the custom version, please! I'm okay with the Cragar S/ST's, but those "snow tyres" have to go), including engine parts (dual fours, maybe a tunnel ram, headers, etc.).

ChrisBcritter Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 Doesn't look like they put in the little eyebrows the headlight bezels are supposed to have (something AMT always missed for some reason). Hope they deepened the grille; be nice to be able to open it from the rear. Wonder why they needed to redo it in the first place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THarrison351 Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 Great Kit, easy to build! First one was in the mid-seventies with the red custom El Camino on the side, long gone to the plastic graveyard. Last one I built was the pre-painted ProShop blue and white release. Still have all the leftover parts. There's a lot of them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie8575 Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 Better chrome? Okay, I'll grab one. I can do some of the neat mid-year colors, too. Charlie Larkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveG Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 There are now three sets of headlamp housings, one with the eyebrow, one without and a Lucas style housing. The Nomad chrome tree had been altered several times, the latest attempt was so it could share parts with the Bel Air kit and was barely useable when AMT637 version was run in 2009. We even re-grouped all the part and added number tags for easier assembly. -Steve 6 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSchnell Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 I will be grabbing a couple of these for sure. One can never have enough wagon kits! Hopefully the '62 Buick wagon makes a return at some point.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
