71 Olds 442

[Hard_2_Handle_454]

The new 1971 Olds 442 kit from Revell Germany.  I love the kit and have nothing bad to say about it.  It's easy to build and comes out nice.  The German kits also have color instructions which is nice.  I got a nice pre-order discount which helped my pocket a lot.

Great looking 442.  Well done.

Very nice work and you did a fine job with the decals. I don't have this kit yet and it seems to be a very nicely detailed model with good fitments. I've always liked the '71 and '72 front end styling.

Beautiful looking paint color and finish. Like the engine and chassis detailing.

First off, great job on the kit, looks great! I still think the top of the side window shape is off, BUT: In your pic it looks like a minor reshape would be very easy. Looking at your kit, I don't think it's a deal-breaker either way. I LOVE the fact they gave that big engine air conditioning. I've got a few Olds land yachts that may get that engine. Thanks for sharing!

You have a point; I thought something looked off about the car.  Like, it had the look, but not quite.
