Revell 1/25 Tri-Five Chevy Variations?

[Casey]

Just so I understand correctly, all of the variations of the new Revell 1/25 '55-'57 Chevy line are:

1) '55 Bel Air convertible (originally released under the Monogram brand):

2) '55 Bel Air hardtop

3) '56 Del Ray:

4) '56 Nomad:

5) '57 150 Utility Sedan:

6) '57 Bel Air 2-Door Sedan:

7) SnapTite '57 Chevy Bel Air:

Any of those would be great. I think a regular 2dr wagon would be neat to see also.

I'll take any wagon (NON NOMAD ) or sedan delivery. Ed Shaver

Speaking of Revell Tri-Five Chevys---how about the OLD tooling Tri-Fives---what were offered in Revell's '60s tooling 1:25th scale kits? I know there was a '55 Bel Air ht, a '56 2dr sedan (a late '70s reissue of this was first 1:25th glue kit in 1978!), a '57 Bel Air ht, and a '57 Nomad...any others that I'm not familiar with? Did all of these have opening doors? No '56 ht? I remember the '55 ht and '57 Nomad were in the 'Skips Fiesta Drive In' series in the late '80s, was that the last appearance of them?

I've got the new-tool Revell Tri-Fives and the various AMT ones, but have avoided the Monogram 1:24th ones--they always looked a bit off to me.

NONE of Mongrams 55/6/7 kits are accurate.They're just as bad as Revells early 55/6/7 Chevys.Those poor kits are only good for parts, and I have NEVER seen a built up one look acceptable.They were too busy tryin to come up with "working features" to make them even slightly accurate and buildable.I still see some of those early kits goin for more bucks that they're worth. The artwork on the ORIGINAL 57 Nomad release is the only good thing about them!
