Flatout Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 Built for a club challenge over the past 4 weeks… AMT’s “BOSS NOVA”…the wheels and tires are from a die cast dragster, injection manifold and valve covers from Speed City Resin, prewired magneto from Pro Tech, and the paint is from both Tamiya and Testers topped with Tester’s Wet Look clear. Narrowed the rear, changed the front axle to a “dropped” unit from the stash, and molded in the hood. Thanks in advance for takin’ time to look
W-409 Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 Cool Nova build! I like the decals a lot, are they from Model King's Austin Gasser kit? Nice paint job and detailing, too. Really like the Rake on it also.
slusher Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 Man that is soo sharp and cool. Awsume paint,decals and detail....
Marty "Hatchet" Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 Pete, that's totally wicked! What a cool paint job! And the stance is perfect too! Looks like a lot of work went into that puppy...I'm with Niko....the decals alone are worth that Model King Austin kit. Beautiful build sir.
Flatout Posted February 19, 2013 Author Posted February 19, 2013 Thanks for the feedback....Most of the decals are from the Austin Gasser, the flames are from Revell's 67 SS 396 Chevelle (cut up and "reassembled"), and the rest are from Slixx. The light purple is Tamiya TS 24 with a pearl clear, and the dark purple is Testers one coat laquer "Purple Licious" all covered with Wet Look clear. Aloha...Pete

Bernard Kron Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 Totally cool re-do/update of this kit with an eye to all the right changes to achieve your vision. Really well executed too! Shows what happens when you know what you want and have the skills and knowledge to get there.
crazyjim Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 I'm not much into drag cars, but this build is just fantastic.
