This is a 1971 Oldsmobile 442 W-30, this kit is by Revell. I just graduated high school so I treated myself to this super neat kit I've been eyeing for a while. I decided to build it with a manual transmission because I've never driven one of those before. I enjoyed this car because I got to learn more about the insides and outs of how it was built and the changes that were made to it past its original release. This build was cool because it's the first model I've done that had an option for wheels that spin. I took a different approach to building this time by painting all the parts first and then assembling them. Still no airbrush but I'm fine with brush painting for now, I find it gives me more control. Overall, I'm happy to see my improvement in the fine details, but applying the decals without decal soft was very difficult (I have since invested in some decal soft lol).
