Koellefornia Kid Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 2 beautiful Oldsmobiles! Nice colors, too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bisc63 Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Love 'em! I especially like the gold-ish colored one, but this handsome body style can look good in so many colors... You did them both very well. I have been looking forever and a day on ebay for a re-builder of one of these I can afford, and they just go nuts at the last minute every time. The search continues...

Kah puts Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Ok I'm going to have to crack open that vintage Johan and get on, yours are brilliant, I didn't know those wheels could look that good, bravo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kodiak Island Modeler Posted May 2, 2021 Author Share Posted May 2, 2021 I can't take credit for the wheels on the convertible. My friend Troy Deal, did those and gave them to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Now I'm really kicking myself for all the times I passed over this kit. Yours are obviously very clean builds, but the paint colors you chose just "pop". Nice work! Would you mind sharing the exact paints you used (ex: Model Master #1614 etc).

Ace-Garageguy Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Fine looking models. Especially appealing to me as I have a real '63 Dynamic 88 convertible (identical body style to yours, minus the Starfire side trim), the car I drove in high school, awaiting restomodding.

Kodiak Island Modeler Posted May 4, 2021 Author Share Posted May 4, 2021 Monty, I'm sorry, but I don't remember the exact paints that I used. The hardtop was Testors metallic gold with a pearl coat over it, followed by Testors wet look clear. I don't remember the exact numbers. I'm not sure what paint I used on the convertible.
