Flatout Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Built for a club challenge over the past 4 weeks… AMT’s “BOSS NOVA”…the wheels and tires are from a die cast dragster, injection manifold and valve covers from Speed City Resin, prewired magneto from Pro Tech, and the paint is from both Tamiya and Testers topped with Tester’s Wet Look clear. Narrowed the rear, changed the front axle to a “dropped” unit from the stash, and molded in the hood. Thanks in advance for takin’ time to look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W-409 Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Cool Nova build! I like the decals a lot, are they from Model King's Austin Gasser kit? Nice paint job and detailing, too. Really like the Rake on it also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marty "Hatchet" Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Pete, that's totally wicked! What a cool paint job! And the stance is perfect too! Looks like a lot of work went into that puppy...I'm with Niko....the decals alone are worth that Model King Austin kit. Beautiful build sir.

Flatout Posted February 19, 2013 Author Share Posted February 19, 2013 Thanks for the feedback....Most of the decals are from the Austin Gasser, the flames are from Revell's 67 SS 396 Chevelle (cut up and "reassembled"), and the rest are from Slixx. The light purple is Tamiya TS 24 with a pearl clear, and the dark purple is Testers one coat laquer "Purple Licious" all covered with Wet Look clear. Aloha...Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
