About product

Chevy II Nova AWB Twister in 1:25 scale from AMT

A kit in injection-molded plastic in 1:25 scale from the American brand AMT. The real subject is a drag racing special of the AWB category built on the body of the compact Chevrolet Chevy II Nova of the 1965 model year. The Twister designation belongs to the naming of this particular box. Check the exact contents of the package, the number of parts and the list of decals on the box.

The real subject

The Chevy II Nova was Chevrolet's compact model, which thanks to its low weight and simple construction became a popular basis for drag conversions. The abbreviation AWB means altered wheelbase: in the middle of the 1960s builders moved the axles forward to transfer as much weight as possible onto the driven rear wheels and improve traction at the start. The body therefore looks optically shifted rearward and the whole car has unmistakable proportions, out of which a separate funny car category later grew.

Building and painting tips

Cut the parts off the sprues with nippers and sand the remains of the gates, so no burrs are left on the outlines. With the body of an American kit it pays to sand the whole thing first and spray it with a filler primer - on large smooth surfaces every fine line is visible. Drag cars are about gloss, so apply the paint in thin coats with an airbrush and let it dry through properly before the gloss clear coat comes. Settle the decals on a gloss surface and even them out with a decal softener, so they seat into the edges. Build and paint the engine and the frame before you close the body up.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of American drag racing hardware of the 1960s
  • Modelers who build cars in 1:25 scale
  • Builders with experience of painting bodies to a high gloss
  • Anyone interested in the unconventional proportions of cars with a modified wheelbase

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
