Amt/Ertl 1972 Chevy Nova SS

Build this model Takes alot of Patience. This model Is a True 2 in 1 Model. The builder has the option to build it Stock or Pro Street. I is truly a nice model and has excellent Detail. Included with the model are 2 Engines Stock 350 or a Blown Dual Carb 454 Drag. It also includes 2 Hoods Stock Hood with dual Vents or Racing With Molded in Scoop. It has excellent engravings around all windows and this makes it easy to apply Bare metal foil. It also Has excellent engravings on the lower body panels that is is to add foil to.The real hard part of this model is the Front Fenders and Bumper and Grill are modeled in 3 single parts. The instructions say to install the fenders before attaching the body to the chassie but I found it better to install them after the body and chassie are together. It make it easier to align the Front Grill and Bumper assembly and make sure you have everything Straight before the glue Drys. It takes patience on this part. The real Pro's of this kit are no matter what version you build you will have an extra engine and Hood. The Only con's Were the seperate molded fenders were a pan to attach and the gap between the fenders and doors needs a little work. This model is well worth looking into.
I also need to mention that this model DOES NOT Include metal axles. It has to molded plastic axles That when you try to attach the tires will more than likly break. You may want to see if you can find some extra axles.
