Hi guys, i want to share with you this step by step build of this Chevy Nova used in the movie Beverly Hills cop driven by the funny cop Axel Foley. I based my model on the Chevy Nova Copo made by revell with some minor modifications. The basic idea is that this is a pretty weathered and rusty chevy car The kit is well manufactured, built in white almost with no flash what make the work easier. The initial idea was make some dent on the body due to the actual state of the car in the movie. I did some tests onto an old model i have with some heat coming from a hair dryer On this Audi it worked pretty good, the plastic was warped easy, however when i tried to do this on the Nova the plastic was really hard to warp no matter how much temperature i gave with the hair dryer., actually i ended breaking the left window pillar.[:S] I repaired this window pillar with some styrene bar that i had. The left door actually ended a little dent, i think im going to let it like that and not trying to do this on other parts of the car, because i can end breaking the full body The engine came pretty well detailed, although came with no plug wires, so im going to try building them with phone wires
