'69 Chevy Nova

[SQFin]

This is actually the second model kit I finished after my 15 year break from modelling.

I's a Revell "Special Edition" kit, with rear tires from AMT 70 1/2 Baldwin Motion Camaro. Engine wired and plumbed + throttle linkage from MCG. MCG seatbelt clips and seat belts made from Tamiya masking tape.

Sorry about the color. British racing green...

Nice build. SHINY :) RULES!

Very clean and nicely detailed. I "get it" about the paint but that is close to a factory color. Well done, and keep them coming.

[Jantrix]

Nicely done. I'm not wild about that color, but hey it's your model and you did it well.

Thanks again everyone!

Nova actually isn't that shiny in real life. Which is good imo, since I think too much shine is not realistic. What is the perfect scale-shine?

I'm still working with my techniques to create a decent rusty-look, but I have not succeeded yet. It's so much easier to do the shiny one... I'll keep paarctising and hopefully some day end up with something i can post here.

I love the color. If I make a critisism, it would be lacl of flocking inside but the awesomeness of the exterior makes up for it

Outstanding! Especially the engine compartment. Maybe I should take a fifteen year break to see if mine come out like that. Oh wait, that would make me 70. Probably won't be able to see well enough!
