Just completed this new Revell kit of the 50 Olds. I used the resin sedan body from Promolite instead of the coupe body from the kit, as the CHP used the sedan in 50. Otherwise the kit was built box stock. I added detailed spotlights on the roof as per CHP units of the period. Decals are by Fred Cady. Paint is Tamiya from the cans.

Nice! So far of all the ones I've seen, this is my favorite build from the '50 Olds kit.
