That is a sharp looking Olds Chris! The color looks really nice on it! I have a couple of models painted with "Icy Blue" and on both, the metal flake is way too big. On your model, the metallic looks right. Maybe Testors changed it? If the paint on mine looked like yours, I would be satisfied with them.

Mine has the big flake too. It just doesn't show up in the pictures. By scale, it would like like a 70's Ranger bass boat or a drum set LOL

Beautiful Cutlass Chris, I've got one painted in that same color, it does fit it well if you ignore the bass boat effect!

Very nice and clean!!

I find all of the testors metal flake paints are a little out of scale. They are really nice to work with though. Looks great on your Cutlass.

Thanks for the kind words guys. Yes, it is the AMT kit. Goes together without much fuss, I'd do another in drag version it I run across one. Anyone know what kit they borrowed the steering wheel from? It's not Oldsmobile..
