Atlantis Models has bought another lot of tooling/molds.....

[tim boyd]

I do know that Atlantis is working on reissuing another kit of the original Revell Tri-Five series, but I'll leave it to Peter or Jim or their spokesperson to divulge what and when....TB 

[SfanGoch]

Ugh! No disrespect intended; but, what is it with you guys? In the past month, I made two separate postings about the '57 Nomad. I even included Peter's reply to my email about its status; yet, nobody seems to pay attention or read previous comments because the same question keeps popping up. I guess his own words aren't good enough for some members.

Joe, what time is our noon meeting???

[SfanGoch]

It's scheduled for two weeks ago. Don't be late.

Whatthehell?  You expect people to actually READ the thread prior to posting in it????  Get real.

I've been meaning to get to one of those procrastinators anonymous meetings but haven't made it yet ,, I'll be sure to make the next one , , , If I can.

Does anyone know if Atlantis got the 68 and/or 69 Dart kits from Revell? Would love to get a couple more of them in the future. I need to get some better pictures of this one I built.

In short, if you want to speculate or dream about whether or not Atlantis has a particular kit tool, take a look at recent issues of the same kit.  

Made in USA = there's a chance Atlantis has it.

Made in China = nope.

Joe, you sent them a email ? I believe you said, they was going to be a delay o the 57 Nomad that was next.

Beautiful. I love the “Mod Top.”

I emailed Peter regarding the delay in releasing the '57 Nomad. He said the reason for the delay is that he's making changes to the tool.

If its the old, late 60’s 1/25 scale Revell tool, it needs a lot of work. As I’ve stated previously, I’m looking forward to the Revell tool coming back. It’s by far superior (IMO) to the 1/24 scale Monogram version.

(sorry, just caught that)

I still want the full-size Gemini space capsule that Revell gave away back in the late 60’s.

From Niteowl's pics from the 2021 IPMS show, they also displayed the '55 Bel Air, so I've been assuming that would be the next Tri-Five.

Personally, I think this is probably the best proportioned of the old Revell Tri-Fives. Another plus is that previous versions have included both a small block and a 409.  Assuming that will be the same.

Revell's modern new tool 1/25 '55 hardtop hasn't been out in quite a while, so Atlantis should be able to move these pretty well (IF indeed this is their next release).  There is the old Monogram 1/24 street machine/ex Badman getting reissued, but that body is a hot mess IMHO.

Does the '55 suffer from sub-sized windscreen and backlight like the '57 does?

I think the glass fits ok, but the roof does appear to have a slight slope in the front. Not sure how to fix that and still get the glass to fit. 

Look at the box to see the taper.

All I see is the huge gap between the top of the vent window and roof.

Thanks Tim. Means alot coming from you. I glued plastic strips from the moldings and the vinyl top seams and applied decals for the 3 different sections of the roof.

I highly doubt it, it is too new of a mold for Revell AG to give up.
