Talking Revell 1969 Chevy Nova.. Pro Touring

Finally finished this one last night, and snapped a few outdoor pics this morning.

Revell '69 nova kit.... Very nice kit btw.

Paint is Tamiya Brilliant orange topped with pearl clear, stripes are masked and sprayed, tamiya white pearl over pure white, then TS-13 over the whole thing. Polished with micro mesh and Tamiya compounds.

Custom interior using seats from an Aoshima Silvia kit. Subs, Amps and speakers from a Revell "uptown" Charger.

Wheels centres are from a Revell '55 Chevy, outer rim halves and tyres from Aoshima.















Regards, Dan

I love it, the amp and speakers in the back are a great touch. Also the paint and stripes came out flawless.

Re: Revell 1969 Chevy Nova.. Pro Touring

Not my "thing" but clearly a very well built model. The finish is excellent. Congrats

The only thing that struck me was that, by comparison, the engine bay seems sparse and lacking in detail. I think the overall build would benefit from some extra plumbing and wiring in there eg the battery, the brake servo etc. (you did after all detail the washer bottle with being half full (or empty) )

PS and a wash on the engine wouldn't hurt either

I tend to agree with the klutz man.But like he said clearly a very well built model.
The finish is stunning.Very clean and contest worthy imo.

I agree with klutz 100, some details could be improved, but the overall impression is great, I think you hit the Pro Touring look quite well

Proper job...superb paint, stance and finish. Not something I'd build, but I love to look at them. Very good indeed. Looks like it's been Foosed!

Wow!! That is awesome!! Nice work on the stripes. I really like the color combo.

And you apparently have a very, very steady left hand.

Excellent looking model, especially on the base it sits on. A really good looking car.
