I’ve been on a bit of a build spree since mid October, I had done the ‘COPO’ version of this kit, and for some reason felt I needed to do the Yenko version shortly after. So, in my normal fashion, I painted a bunch of bodies one day, and the nova was one of them. Stripes are a bit wobbly, but she’s a looker from a few feet away I added a MAD distributor ( love them), and model car garage wire looms, also robbed the rally wheels out of the other revell nova kit, and added liscense plates, so, anyway, here it is....

I use testors ultra gloss clear coat over decals all the time, so far I have not had any issues with kit decals.

Great looking build, love the colors !

You nailed it, nice job KJ.

You really capture the look! So, what did you use for the side of beef?

Looking good, built a few of these as a kid, and have a few in the stash to do someday. Just love this model for some reason. Can’t wait to see yours finished.

Very nice! That color is sedate, but has a ‘look at me’ quality as well. Great build.

Agreed, you’re off to a great start, engine looks fabulous.

Great job on this, I’d like to do one of these someday.

I really like the look of that, look forward to this build.

Ya, great cut job, looks perfect.

First update, box is open, I like what I see, perused the directions and decals. Gotta look thru my stash of tires, may change those out, depends on what I’ve got on hand. I’ve built the trailer before, so I know what’s in that box, that’ll get 2 or 5 hole wheels, and I plan to modify the front ‘wall’ of it, and if I can do it, I’d like to make an actual wood deck, but not sure if that will come to fruition or not. Also need to get some paint, I’m out of white......

Thanks guys. This one is done.

That’s sharp! Well done.

Great build, fantastic detailing, and love the unusual body choice.

This is going to be a cool build, hopefully when you do the 1:1 you keep us up to date on that too

Some mock up, and a pic with its sibling

Looking good, love the colors on that.

I like where this is going! Keep at it.

Going with this trailer,

Too cool! I have the answer to your problem, build both at the same time

Nice, I love the looks of this kit/rig. Have built one, and have a few in the hoard. Only thing that drives me nuts is the cab seam, first cab I started I gave up on, just couldn’t get it how I wanted, second cab I did I had to go with ‘good enough’, lol.

Great looking build! I did one in a similar color a few years ago.

I truly think the shorter time frame may help with completions this go round. So far, I think I’m 2 for 3 in finishing on time ( I think......), so going to try to stay focused this time .....
