...as some of you know, ACME has been working on a 1/18 diecast 1955 Chevrolet Nomad. A 1956 Nomad will follow and presumably so will a '57.
This release should arrive by Christmas of this year; here's a few tooling pics for those interested in this one. Looks great to me! 😎 😎Â

A sure smash success.....especially all three years.

@jack-dodds Yes I would be interested in collecting all three. Thanks for the heads up Chris.

This one will be detailed and beautifully done ..... and in all three years when they do them ! Presently, I have a Maisto 1955 and a Yat Ming 1957 Nomad in 1/18Â and they are also really nice at their price/detail level. The Nomad is great subject matter.

I will buy these three; even though I don't collect this scale any longer as a rule. I wish Goldvarg would do them in 1:43 as well.

Quality 1/18 Tr-Five Nomads will be really cool, but the real star will be the 1956 Nomad, as it has never been replicated before in 1/18. Here's the ONLY pre-production pic of the '56 that I'm aware of, taken years ago in Nurenberg (I believe ). Looks great! Right? 😀 🙂Â

Nice ! Diecast models really don't use "clips" and the like as a 1:1 can, but I wonder if Precision Miniatures 4-door 1956 Bel Air tooling is around and could perhaps provide some parts ? My green 4-door is a real favorite in my collection.

@mikedetorrice I suppose that could happen but based on pics of the '55 Nomad that I posted, ACME "all new tooling"Â is more detailed/sophisticated than Precision Miniatures was.

It will certainly be an astounding diecast model, as the Precision Miniatures 4-door 1956 Chevrolet is a terrific model, too. All the Tri-Five Chevrolet cars are great subjects.
