The Monogram 55 Chevy has nothing in common with the 56 kit. It was done in the early 1960s. While it does come with its own (minor) issues, it has way better proportions than the 56. While we looking at other kits, as bad as the 56 is, the 57 is even worse. The 56 is at least fixable with a little surgery.

Per chance do you mean the skips drive in version of the nomad? The one I have seems to have a half v6, half v8 engine, the body looks like a nomad if you poke yourself in the eye and rub lemon in it. About the only parts in the nomad that are any use is the chassis, suspension and interior. The rest is scrap

I built one of these back in the 90s. I think it was a Monogram kit and they were my favorites. This one was molded in blue so I just clear coated it.

I'm talking about the Monogram 1/24th scale Bel Air and matching Nomad. The Revell 1/25 57s with the opening everything have their own issues but are still much more accurate than the Monogram versions.
