Wrap up - Revell 1969 Nova

[Len Carsner]

Sorry guys, I meant to get this up last night but spent my evening assembling a new grill for the weekend cookouts.

Here we go withthe final installment:

Captions, final posting, Revell 69 Nova

This series of elevated front ¾ views show off the accent lines and compound surface of the Revell 69 Nova quite well. Whether you choose out-of-the-box, slightly modified for the street or this new kits drag option, you certainly have a well-appointed and accurate platform to start with.

From any angle the Revell 69 Nova look like the full-size Chevy compact only 25 times smaller. Checking out the wide range of factory color choices and being able to choose from interior colors of either black, medium red or blue or green, you can personalize your Nova to your very own tastes.

The performance 300hp/350ci small block Chevy V-8 looks great even when built straight from the box. The kit engine compartment has just enough accessories to make it interesting but it’s not over done leaving the door open for your personal attention to further detailing.

On the left is an original AMT 72 Nova I built shortly after the kit was released. It was the standard for this Chevy icon that is until now. On the right, the new contender benefits from over 35 years of design and engineering advancements. The new Revell 69 Nova sets many new standards for this subject.

Canadian Keith Marks is at it again! This time he will soon have available four unique water-slide decal sets for either the original AMT or brand-new 69 Nova kits. Here is a sample artwork for two of them. This will likely not be the last after-market product developed exclusively for these kits…especially the new Revell 69 Nova.

Just for fun Bill swapped the kit tires for redlines and white letters, just to get a feel for what a simple change could do for the car.

That ends our coverage of the new Nova kit. Hopefully we'll do this again soon with another "coming soon" subject.

For now, I'm done and need to get that grill outside (and get some bandages) and get on with the holiday!

I knew this kit would be good , but WOW, you did an amazing job.

I'm glad i have mine on pre-order, this is going to be the "hot" kit of the summer, like the Merc was last year.

I just hope the end of July is not to late.

Thanks for taking your time and showing this, personally I am getting at the least three of these with several going to Puerto Rico for my good friend, one of my favorite cars of all time, I had a real SS 69 in NY years ago!!

Although I appreciate the skills shown, it was more important to me to follow the step by step build. It had a wealth of information and tips for a novice like myself. Many thanks.
