AMT 1966 Nova my way

[John E. Bowers Jr.]

I try to build my models as a vision of what I would have if only I could afford a 1:1 car collection. This Nova would look right at home in my garage. I started with the AMT kit, used an engine from a Revell 1969 Z/28 and a TPI intake from the parts box. The hood is a resin piece purchased from PSF Hobbies some years ago that needed a little "massaging" for a satisfactory fit. The wheels are also from the Revell 1969 Camaro. Paint is Testors Model Master Italian Red with a follow up in plain old spray can Testors Transparent red decanted and airbrushed. Finished up with the usual BMF and MCG photoetch emblems I think this turned out to be a nice shelf model:

John, Your builds are all incredible. You need to send these to Harry for "Real or Model" before you show them to us.

Fantastic job.

John,

Another superb build!! That is one sweet looking little Nova!

You must be building a pretty nice collection of 60's muscle cars!!

Yes, I too have used hoods from PSF Hobbies. Trust me, your "experience" with the hood was typical for their stuff.

Keep up the GREAT builds and keep posting your work!!
