I finished two Novas this past week.

The first is an AMT 1963 coupe. I removed the paint and refinished it in Tamiya Insignia White. This is not meant to be a show car or auction restoration but a survivor type car with regular 1963 paint, no clear coat and lots of polished chrome. For wheels, I used the wires from the Corvette America kit. They give a nice rake to the car. There is an older 327 under the hood.

The next is the Revell 1969 Nova, built as a Time Attack car with a front air dam, flared fenders and front grille from C1 in England. The rear wing is from a Corvette race car. The finish is Tamiya Gun Metal with a red tape stripe down the side. The wheels are from Historic Racing Miniatures and are 1963 Corvette. 

I am also working on an AMT 1966 Nova, also as a Time Attack car. So many projects... :)  :)  :)

Very, VERY cool! I just bought a glue bomb early Nova off ebay yesterday and I HOPE I can make it into something that looks this good. Well done and model on! B)
