I'm glad to see some people still interested in putting models together. I done it when I was a kid and when I got in my 50s and sober I got back into building them again.
AMT solved the problem with the wheel backs being a tough fit into the tires. My kit came without tires. Unfortunately I had already painted the body, interior and trailer before I discovered this. I always watch your videos before buying a new kit. Can then decide if it's too difficult with tiny parts that my old eyes have trouble seeing well. So glad you post these videos. Pick up a lot of tips from your detailed explanations. Thanks.
Build models to be happy, its simple, if you dont like the kit, move along, im here because i like seeing how other people make models and because i might learn some new ideas, every day is an education really, the biggest problem i have here in the uk is the lack of amt kits where the postage costs more than the kit itself, but thats my fault and nothing to do with chris and his standard of building, if you are not happy here you are free to move along and count rivets on another channel, i will stay here because this channel makes me feel happy and i am learning things along the way and helps my style of building and weathering kits once completed, keep up the good work chris and i will keep watching, happy thanksgiving to all happy people across the atlantic ocean, be happy and smile, a smile costs nothing 🙂
I just picked this up. Wasn't intending on it, but finally found it at a shop while I was grabbing some paint. Lol. So pumped to do this. I love wagons and wish there was more.
Good kit! This is a direct reissue of the original annual that was released in the fall of '62. I built it back then as I got it as a Christmas gift in '62. I was 6 years old! Now I need to build it again, and probably do a better job!
Happy Thanksgiving Chris! Wow! This kit is loaded with neat extras! Can't wait to get my hands on that straight 6! Would love to see it as a "Parts Pack" offering as well as the trailer!
Very nice for the guys and gals that waited for this one ! The earlier release (curbside) that didn't have the engine was a little bit of a let-down. A lot of different ways to go with this kit - so let the creativity begin ! When I was four years old, my dad bought a new, 1963 Chevy II wagon, just like this. I remember being at grandma's house and found a "cool" stick in the back yard that looked like a gun and decided I had to take it home with me. Climbed into dad's new wagon and proceeded to poke a hole in the cloth headliner with my "gun". Never heard the end of it........
Chris I believe what you called lights on tree with custom front is a set of custom headrests.I enjoy watching your box opening build up. Helps me decide what kits I want to buy.
Oh yes another great job. Now its time to put the paint and glue down. And have a Great Thanksgiving. Enjoy Family and Friends. Have a very Happy Thanksgiving.👍
It must be the year for chevy 2 love these kits mobius is coming out with the 65 chevy 2 gasser and chevy 2 sport hard top in2022 amt 65 chevy 2 mister twister some great kits coming your wagon looks great
Another great kit review I pre ordered this kit from MODEL ROUND UP a few moths ago Now I really can’t wait to get it Thank again Happy thanksgiving Tim
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!! That engine didn't fit in the trailer with those pipes on , did it. I tried on my old 61 Buick wagon and trailer kit too, only to realize they didn't fit. Just stuck some down-swept pipes to fix it. Cool kit.
Another nice build. Just pre ordered mine from model roundup. I mistakenly ordered an expensive 6cyl distributor instead of a V8 a few weeks back so now I'll have an excuse to use it.
Soon as I seen this on your channel I know know only thing this is right up my street one it's the same year I was born and the second I love yanktanks especially estate cars .
Happy Thanksgiving Chris ! It’s nice to see this kit being released with all those extra parts. I guess I should’ve known they’d do that once I paid about $100 for an original of the same kit ! Mine does not have that great Hemi though, so you know I’ll be buying this one too.
Happy Thanksgiving Great build... love all the extra goodies 😀 Ok now that you completed that sweet build(s) Now get the custom tools out & shoe-horn that Hemi into that wicked Nova wagon Would make the perfect drag week sleeper, I mean..... come-on you already have the trailer, chute & other parts for the week😉 Just a quick stop at the local speed shop and you'll be ready for the 1320 ! Just a dream but it would be cool if you could build a Drag Week car ! Yes the complete deal with trailer, Slicks & front drag rim/tire... Plus have trailer filled with those parts, jack, toolbox, goodies for the week 😎 Drag week events are becoming very popular, perfect test for a street/strip machine ! Just four or five tracks a few hundred miles apart & see who can make the trip & turn in a slip at all tracks , the perfect test of man and machine 🏁 Believe it or not... they are in the fives for the 1/4 (5.99 @ 250+) 😲 A 4000HP Street/strip 69' Camaro ( Tom Bailey ) Who BTW will be starting is own Drag Week in Florida in February ✌😎
A sweet build Chris. The number of ways that it can be built it into is endless especially the ones that have the trailer. My version would be to add them to a fleamarket diorama bringing stuff to sell and a bit beat up after building both with the wagon in the stock version. Happy Thanksgiving to you and to your family.
This is a great kit, building it now, but the Chrysler fire power motor does not fit in the stock mounting post, im currently taking the hard top nova drag car Frame and engine bay to make it fit and do my dream drag week build, just take note
Chris when you get a chance. Could you please make a video of all or most of all the car and truck models that you put together? I am sure that you have a great deal of kits that you have not only from your videos. I am curious of how you even store them. I really enjoyed your videos and reviews. It helps put in perspective of what to expect.
When you have issues with tires going on the wheels or wheel backs, put the tires in boiling water for a few minutes and then the tires will slide right on, without any issues.
Very cool build Chris! Soooo many extras that come with the kit. Happy thanksgiving! Even though I’m Canadian, my wife is still a US citizen (been in Canada over 30 years!). We celebrate both thanksgiving days every year! Going out tonight for dinner. Had to put our dog down yesterday, so pretty sad around here today!
Happy Thanksgiving. Hemi caught my eye for the wrong reason, lol. I was thinking 426 since the car is that vintage. But, must be a 331 or something because of distributor.
Happy Thanksgiving! I got alot of new ideas from this video, thanks! Also I gotta get me one of those chrome paint markers? Nice detail tools you got there as well!
I’ve figured it out. A company wants as many 1:1 replica models to sell and since “station wagons” aren’t sexy to non Motörhead’s you throw in a xtra plastic with plenty of extras. Brilliant. Great video (I left the nod to Motörhead 😎)SQUIRREL!!!!
Excellent craftsmanship on this build Chris! This is another anticipated release, I have had it on backorder for a while now and I am looking forward to getting this kit on the bench!! Wonderful presentation as always, Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!!
I would like to see this car customize with new front end that comes with the kit. To see how it comes out. I wish you would do one to see. I know it takes time to do. Because of body filling and sanding. I would be nice to see one. Thanks Chris
CCCRRRRAAAACKK !!! IT'S ANOTHER GRAND SLAAAMM OUTTA THE PARK Chris !!! I've Gotta Get at LEAST 2 o These Babies 🤗🤗🤗. OOOHH I Was Wondering If The Hemi Was Going To Fit in The Trailer w The Headers Attached ,,,,, It's STILL BEAUTIFUL Buddy , Wishing You and All Yours a Safe n Blessed Turkey Day and a Blessed Wknd as Well !!! 🤗🤗🤗
Good stuff Chris. I have had this kit on pre-order for a while now. I suppose my package from Modelroundup should be showing up in the not too distant future. Have a happy Thanksgiving.
Does the instructions say if the six cylinder engine is a 194 or a 230? I plan on using the straight six in my 65 revell pickup and then probably use the 283 v8 in the nova station wagon? Would love to see revell or amt make 64 through 66 chevy truck with a 292 six and four wheel drive long bed? Maybe Mobius also?
Happy Thanksgiving Chris! Thanks for doing these build videos. I usually wait for you to do a review or build video of the kits before I go out and buy them. I like to see what the kit contains and what it really looks like assembled. Keep up the great work that you do.
Great review and awesome build as always Chris. Built the craftsman series had a lot of fun minus engine.if imma lucky enough to get my hands on this kit be buying it for that beautiful six cylinder. Thanks.peace
Ugghhh! Its 2021-Can't we get this kit with a separate exhaust, driveshaft, and rear end?? I wonder if this would fit underneath their MUCH BETTER '66 Nova it?
We're jealous of the Europeans who can get Revell Germany kits and other kits from places like Japan, Ukraine, etc and what not much more easily. Thanks for stopping by!
Happy Thanksgiving Chris, from sunny Orland-Oh Floriduh. Such a super cool kit. Always loved these Chevy II wagons and wanted to get one for my daily driver. This kit looks like a must for a winter project. Nice cool weather to sit out in the garage, from now until March.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. Great build of this kit. You really took advantage of all of the extra parts. I love it when they put extra parts in kits. Thanks for sharing. BTW - Love the graphics. Those would look great on a t-shirt or a sticker.
A fantastic job 👏 👍 so enjoy your videos 📹 😊 please keep them coming 🙏 and here to help get your videos 📹 out to everyone else 😀 😊......and Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family 👪 😀 😊
What is a Hemi engine ( don't get me wrong- it's my favorite engine- but in a Nova???, a real head scratcher for sure! ), I want one- c'mon Christmas!!!
Happy Holidays Chris great model kit review 60s Nova station wagon kit be neat kool model as NASCAR pit stop hauler luv little trailer comes with kit especially how use weathing theme.
Great build and video Chris. Nice work!!! Figures I bought two kits without the engine. Now I'll have to buy a third. A belated Happy Thanksgiving. Can't wait to see your other builds and videos.
I'm glad to see some people still interested in putting models together. I done it when I was a kid and when I got in my 50s and sober I got back into building them again.
Find it so relaxing to watching you paint & listening to the songs.

YEAH HUH ?? 👍👍👍👍
One of my favorite station wagons next to vans
Can't wait to build mine gonna build my own chassis for it gonna do a drag car
Just watching these builds is like meditating.
Chris, I did one of these years ago...What a fun time that was!
I’m glad someone can make a good rattle can paint job. I’ve tried so many times and I’ve given up. Giving airbrush another shot.
I’m thankful for discovering your videos, which helped inspired me to get active in modeling again last year!
I just picked this up. Wasn't intending on it, but finally found it at a shop while I was grabbing some paint. Lol. So pumped to do this. I love wagons and wish there was more.
Looks like a GREAT kit, looking forward to building one too!! 👍👍👍
Love how the details popped with the first coat of primer. Another great build.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!🦃
Im not a big Chevy guy.but i love this kit just for all the extras that are included!!! Id.love to build a gasser wagon!!😊😊😊
Chris thank you for this incredible model. It's so beautiful. Have a sweet, happy and nice Thanks giving day with your family and friends.
And when you sprayed the primer on the body it really brought out the details
Good kit! This is a direct reissue of the original annual that was released in the fall of '62. I built it back then as I got it as a Christmas gift in '62. I was 6 years old! Now I need to build it again, and probably do a better job!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING ! .... AWESOME !
Great review & build … Happy Thanksgiving
Great build. This kit looks like a kit bashers wet dream. I'll take a dozen.

Happy Thanksgiving Chris! Thanks for the wonderful video on this kit, I will be adding it to my stash!
Nice kit I'm going to get two of them customize one thank you for sharing 👍
Chris, your paint brush looks like mine. Bristles sticking out all different ways. 😁😁😁😁

Happy Thanksgiving to you Chris and all of your followers! A wonderful video as always!
Picked one up yesterday. Great looking build.
I remember my parents moving in 1970, we rented a trailer like that from u-haul.
Great post. Love your work. Happy Thanksgiving!
Yep, this one is a must-have. Glad to see it’s got an engine. Nice build, Chris. Happy Thanksgiving.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!! That engine didn't fit in the trailer with those pipes on , did it. I tried on my old 61 Buick wagon and trailer kit too, only to realize they didn't fit. Just stuck some down-swept pipes to fix it. Cool kit.
Turn it sideways. Then it fits. It won't fit facing forward or backwards with the headers on.
Happy Thanksgiving to you Chris very nice build very cool kit very enjoyable
Holy grail! thnx for showing.
Another nice build. Just pre ordered mine from model roundup. I mistakenly ordered an expensive 6cyl distributor instead of a V8 a few weeks back so now I'll have an excuse to use it.
Thats one sweet build......
Soon as I seen this on your channel I know know only thing this is right up my street one it's the same year I was born and the second I love yanktanks especially estate cars .
Awesome build
I thought about getting this, that trailer is a early 1960's U-haul trailer and that is the way I will build it.
Happy Thanksgiving Chris ! It’s nice to see this kit being released with all those extra parts. I guess I should’ve known they’d do that once I paid about $100 for an original of the same kit !
Mine does not have that great Hemi though, so you know I’ll be buying this one too.
That would be an insane pro street using the chassis from the 66 Nova or as a gasser...omfg I'll have to buy at least 4 of these
Beautiful job on the build! Iam really glad they re issued these wagon kits as it helps for a future restoration of an original kit.
Beautiful work! I now want to buy about ten of these.....kidding, just getting 3😎.happy thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving
Great build... love all the extra goodies 😀
Ok now that you completed that sweet build(s)
Now get the custom tools out & shoe-horn that Hemi into that wicked Nova wagon
Would make the perfect drag week sleeper, I mean.....
come-on you already have the trailer, chute & other parts for the week😉
Just a quick stop at the local speed shop and you'll be ready for the 1320 !
Just a dream but it would be cool if you could build a Drag Week car !
Yes the complete deal with trailer, Slicks & front drag rim/tire...
Plus have trailer filled with those parts, jack, toolbox, goodies for the week 😎
Drag week events are becoming very popular, perfect test for a street/strip machine !
Just four or five tracks a few hundred miles apart & see who can make the trip &
turn in a slip at all tracks , the perfect test of man and machine 🏁
Believe it or not... they are in the fives for the 1/4 (5.99 @ 250+) 😲
A 4000HP Street/strip 69' Camaro ( Tom Bailey )
Who BTW will be starting is own Drag Week in Florida in February ✌😎
Got 3 ordered this kit is awesome thanks for sharing

Great video! I might have to pick up this kit just for the trailer and the accessories for the garage diorama I am building.
Very cool build Chris! Soooo many extras that come with the kit. Happy thanksgiving! Even though I’m Canadian, my wife is still a US citizen (been in Canada over 30 years!). We celebrate both thanksgiving days every year! Going out tonight for dinner. Had to put our dog down yesterday, so pretty sad around here today!

Happy Thanksgiving. Hemi caught my eye for the wrong reason, lol. I was thinking 426 since the car is that vintage. But, must be a 331 or something because of distributor.

I want this kit super bad. May have to buy 2.

Happy Thanksgiving Chris! Thanks for doing these build videos. I usually wait for you to do a review or build video of the kits before I go out and buy them. I like to see what the kit contains and what it really looks like assembled. Keep up the great work that you do.
I would probably want to build all the engines and make them do where I can install them at any time I wanted to
Great review and awesome build as always Chris. Built the craftsman series had a lot of fun minus engine.if imma lucky enough to get my hands on this kit be buying it for that beautiful six cylinder. Thanks.peace
Great build great kit
The 6 cylinder engine can be used in a 65 Chevy truck model if you wanted a base model truck instead of the 283 v8!
Ugghhh! Its 2021-Can't we get this kit with a separate exhaust, driveshaft, and rear end?? I wonder if this would fit underneath their MUCH BETTER '66 Nova it?
Your builds are amazing always ! Happy thanksgiving
Am a big model guy as well love your videos and how tpu do your stuff 👍
Sweet model I’m so jealous of you Americans we don’t get the choice of kits here in the UK
We're jealous of the Europeans who can get Revell Germany kits and other kits from places like Japan, Ukraine, etc and what not much more easily.
Thanks for stopping by!
