Next WIP of 2017...
A couple weeks back I threw my hat in the ring of this years Cannonball CBP. The entry that I decided to go with for my first CBP was an 83 Cutlass with a slight twist... While starting that build, I decide that I would tear the plastic on my other Olds kit that I got for my birthday this year, and build the Hurst version along with it.
Having owned an 85 Cutlass after high school... though it was only a V6 and initially I was forced into it ( that's a whole other story )... I was excited at the announcement of this kit, to say the least. I have 2 of these kits so far, with the hopes of a couple more soon perhaps.
When I started the kits, I sprayed the interior of this one with what was supposed to be a satin burgundy color... ended up being a satin RED instead... when I say red, I mean bright az RED.. think kind of a florescent red with a pinkish cast. It was so ugly, I didn't bother taking a pic of it. Needless to say, the interior went directly into the purple pond, and has continued to sit there for the last couple weeks. I check on it every day or two, but not a lot is going on... This stuff ain't budging to well at all...
Fortunately for me, black and silver is black and silver... So I was on to painting the body. I did a little mix a matching. The black is Tamiya Black just cuz I was out of Testors. The silver is Testors One Coat Diamond Dust.
I'm in the process of adding the decals at the moment, while things on the other kit dries... Will be back to this when I get them all applied. Stay tuned...
