stulee11 Posted January 7, 2012 Author Posted January 7, 2012 last ones sorry for the poor lighting but the weather is a bit crappy today lol wen it brightens up i will take some better ones . hope you all like her any comments welcome thanks for looking in on her stu (p.s) the colour does pop in the right light i promise lol
DumpyDan Posted January 7, 2012 Posted January 7, 2012 Nice! Looks great, you now I like this kit, I own about 5 and I have never built one. But maybe now!
W-409 Posted January 7, 2012 Posted January 7, 2012 WOW-turned out very nice! That color is great and paintjob looks shiny. It's smooth too. Great job with the engine detailing, looking very realistic. Those front tires- are they bit badly glued on their place, or what? Looks like they are not 100% correctly. Otherwise really great build.

Otherwise really great build. i dont know what happened with the front tires... one seems to fit in ok but the other one is turnt in at the top and i dont know why ... i didnt glue them in place but i think its a moulding problem . but thanks for the comment
stulee11 Posted January 7, 2012 Author Posted January 7, 2012 i got a better pic of the colour and the met in the paint ... and this is the reason why the wheels don't seem to sit right as you can see its all put together right... and its in the right place's... but for some reason the left one in the pic seems to lean in at the top.
Modlbldr Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 Nice work on this. I like the color. It looks like the old Testor's Coppenhagen Blue. Later-
Models by Bear Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 Love them old Nova's I built two of them now. And like you i had a problem with the wheels turning in.(mostly the right front) I solved the problem on my second build by changing the upper and lower A-arms. Not to take away from your post but here's what it looked liked after Ifixed it.[ IMG]http://i871.photobucket.com/albums/ab280/Bearsmodels/models/nova015.jpg
Rob McKee Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 Paint and interior are looking great. Nice job on one of my favorite cars of all time. Rob
mrm Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 Nice job. I have to ask, because I am not very familiar with all the terms. Does Pro Street have to have threaded rear tires? I am asking, because I see builds with slick rears and also kits that say pro street and come with slicks. Yet when reading rules for contests, I am left with the impression, that they have to with threaded rears.
