1972 Nova

[Jeff Johnston]

This was built for a friend to capture the memory of the car he drove in high school. He insisted I build it using the AMT 72 Kit, even though its a tough and rather archaic tool.

I did use the Revell 1969, 396 ci engine, and used the Revell steelies and COPO caps as well.

I used JS Hobby paint and I love that stuff. Cleared with 2 part Urethane.

Looks great!!!

That AMT built up nicely! At least the tail panel is more accurately angled on this one than the Revell...

AAAHHHH!

A fine example of a COPO Sleeper!!

Very nice celan and "very" sharp build!

Thank You for sharing

Looks great! I never liked the seperate fenders on this kit, but you seem to have gotten them to work fine!

[roadhawg]

Very nice. I'm planning building a '72 too.....I think you've convinced me to use the AMT kit.

I hope your friend appreciates what a nice job you did on this. It looks like the real thing.

Great finish & cleanly built. Like the details you added, specially in the engine bay.

Your friend should be thrilled.

Love it, very tough

​You always do serve up great builds, Jeff! Does it have your signature opening doors and trunk?

[Lunajammer]

That's a beauty right there. Excellent work, your friend will be happy.
