Greetings fellow  builders,,just clearing the bench  of this,, the  #AMT  1/16th   Nomad,,great ol school kit  for sure.  There were some fit issues with the interior  bucket+ dash setup,,but Mr dremmel took care of it.   Overall a fun kit to shelf up,,,I used  rattlecan Tamiya spray   TS-41 for the body,, and seagreen for interior.  Hand painted testors  bottle for the rest.  Added some basic wiring+ plumbing,,nothing too crazy.  Fun kit from back in the day.  Thanks for looking  and build on!

Great looking paint and trim. Like the engine and under hood detailing.

Why thank you sir!,,  I used to use BMF for the trim,,but I like the crispness of hand painted  trim instead.  It takes  awhile  to tape off but its worth it. I really like the Tamiya paints,,very well behaved paint,,doesnt run or get wierd  as long as the body prep is 100%,   sand .,wash dry ect.  enjoy your works as well,,thanks for lookin!!

Thanks Dan,,its probably not a stock Chevy color,,but it looks good.  I like to use "compliment"  colors on the cars.  Rock on!
