AMT '63 Nova wagon. Tamiya Light Gunmetal over rattle can red. Trim by BMF and Molotow.
Easy build, though the one piece chassis was disapointing.

At least it's a 6 cyl wagon in a world of Camaro SS and Olds 442s!

Thanks Ron. Factory is how I build 'em. I save the weathering for aircraft and in a previous life, armour.

Looking back, I wish I had built all mine stock, then they would have been more likely to survive than those that followed a trend. 🥴

Back in the "old" days I did an AMT nova ragtop, '62 maybe. I like the "bare bones" look of the early novas. Thanx for posting pix!

Shay, we had all the GM divisions assembled here until the late 1940s, when the Holden came out. After that it was locally assembled Chevrolets, Pontiacs and Vauxhalls until they were discontinued in the late 1960s.

No Novas other than some private imports and diplomat/ military imports.

Sam it's a good kit. Crisp moulding, no flash, small seams. The interior has the front bench moulded in- slightly disapointing.

Over all I'd recommend it.

I agree, it's not anywhere as nice as Heineken.

I think you can still get tinnies over here, but you won't find a pint of it.
