awesome computer skills... even better models.

Hey thanks alot man! I just used the testors clear. I figured you can't go wrong if you just use stuff from the same product line. Also, thanks to everyone for the compliments... it's much appreciated.

Looks very mistreated lol awesome colour scheme

Yeah it is the decal that came with the model. I wanted to use the black one but it cracked in multiple spots so I was forced to go with the white.

Awesome job. I like that dent in the front... also the wind shield wiper is a nice touch.

It is the one coat lacquer I'm not sure the name of it though because the label fell off the can when I opened it. I have to say... the Testors one coat lacquer is pretty awesome and with a little clear produces amazing results.

great minds think alike

This is such a cool build.... Awesome concept.

Interesting colour choice... Looks great.

I used two kits to complete this nova... The two in one kit and the copo kit. Originally I had envisioned this project completely different. I was going to use the stock copo dog dish hub cap wheels all around however I misplaced one of them. So I decided it might be cool to try something different and use the stock wheels and tires up front with some steelies wrapped with big meats in the back. I had to cut up some rims I found in my parts bin to get them to fit. I was going to use the SS hood and had glued the louvres down before I polished it... big mistake. The polish stripped the chrome right off the louvres. So instead I used the cowl hood and went with a flat black to try and make it look more dimensional. Actually I was just being lazy and didn't want to prime paint and then clear.. The interior is a flat military green. I don't have any good shots of it, just some photos off my phone I'll upload a little later. The exterior paint is Testors one step followed by clear and a couple hours of polish. Wired the spark plugs and did some BMF. Enjoy

Came out really well... Did you paint the trim on? It looks really great.

wish I could see a bigger picture of this... I'm building one right now and need ideas.

Anything with gold leaf style lettering in it would be nice... Probably challenging to design as well.

This is beautiful..

I've heard of guys taking up a hobby while they're on the road but never building models... really enjoying these builds man. This one turned out great.

Beautiful build... I've just finished a similar build and will be posting pictures soon.

Awesome build dude... gotta get me this kit. was there any major issues with the kit fitment wise?

Much nicer the one I have sitting in pieces on my bench... great work. How'd you go about doing that to the antenna?

Wow... that's all I can say.

definitely did this kit justice looks just like the movie truck.

killer photography and craftsmanship dude.

love the pickup... awesome camera skills dude!

gorgeous model... paint looks flawless.

I actually just saw this on reddit haha

I have a couple builds on the go at the moment, but this model has inspired me to build an R8 ASAP. nice work man.
