1965 Olds Convertible Finished!

[60s era]

Excellent Build .. Turned out Fantastic.. Great Job..

Reminds me of the 1964 Jetstar 88 Convertible my Dad Bought ,way back when...Would like to find one of those as a Model..

Great save Ron! It's always better when we see the "Before" picture!

I too remember not having money for supplies and scrounging. Had some Testors 19 cent bottles but didn't have that last 19 cents for the thinner bottle so my brush went hard. No problem, Mom had Q-Tips! Yea I painted a model or two with those.

And one time my mother had bought Christmas green and red spray paint for a holiday project. I wound up using those on my T'rantula kit. Yea, everytime I see one of those kits I remember it painted Christmas green with a red interior and motor!

Very slick! I'm sure your dad would have loved it.

It's a rare treat indeed to see one of these big 88s - especially when you've done such a sharp job on it!

What cement did you use to attach the styrene kit parts to the Cycolac promo body?

Chris,

Thanks for the comments. I used some good 'ol el cheapo super glue on the model.
