Revell 57 Nomad tips and tricks anyone?

Not sure if you can access this or not, but here's an interesting take on a Nomad that I did a few years ago.

Lair of the Rust Bunnies

Model Car Garage has a PE set for the 56 Nomad.  Several of those parts could probably be used for your 57.  I'm thinking the grill won't be, though.

All I can say is make sure the doors, hood tailgate fit BEFORE painting. Especially the later repops. I did this one in the 70's & it still fit. However, I was informed that the later reissues (Skips Fiesta) may have some trim fit issues and or warpage that should be carefully checked before final painting. May need some tweaking.

If you want, you can make door hinges out of paperclips and styrene dowel, but I never had any problems with the kit hinges... It's up to you. Good Luck.

P.S. There are emblems for the front hood that should be fitted and puttied BEFORE painting. Then you can carefully remove paint in just the raised areas and this applies to the tailgate too.
