nova ss 1969 Nova SS

[Mike D]

I built this Revell kit as a typical muscle car that could be found on the streets in the 70's. I added a lot of detail to make it look realistic, even adding a working pull-down license plate with the gas filler neck and gas cap, which was common back then. Door locks, tire valve stems, drive shaft balance weights and a lot of work in the engine bay, on the engine and chassis. The paint is Model Masters Dark Green Metallic enamel with their enamel High Gloss clear. I made mistakes but pleased with the end result.

That's a pure beauty Mike!

Very clean build, beautiful details in the engine bay among others, the color fits perfectly, you can be proud of it the final product is very convincing!

Very nice, highly detailed Nova - Roy Scheider's high-revving car from a chase in the "French Connection" movie comes to my mind.

Very well done Mike ?

Awesome looking Nova in a great shade of dark green. Very nice work on the engine compartment detailing right down to the brake lines.

Beautiful looking paint finish and color. Like looking at all the small details you added under the hood and the chassis. Great looking interior detail as well. Cragers look good with this stance.

If it matters, I owned a '72 Nova SS way back when. So, they hold a special place for me personally and basically, they are a Camaro with a sedan body. They sure fooled the Insurance companies at the time.
