MyBradKeselowski Posted August 13, 2016 Posted August 13, 2016 Finally got the 83 Hurst Olds finished. I know to most of you it's not perfect and I know that it's not a contest show queen but IMO I'm very happy with myself on the outcome of it. This is a very well detailed and fantastic kit and have 4 more to build as I really enjoyed building this kit. Thanks and Kudos to Revell for giving us an Oldsmobile G Body. I did not notice fingerprints until after I had took the pics. Oh well lesson learned "POLISH BEFORE PICS" lol. Thanks for looking and your comments but if your going to be nasty/rude/hateful keep it to yourself and don't look at it. As I said it's not perfect..
Craig Irwin Posted August 13, 2016 Posted August 13, 2016 Looks good to me! I normally don't build cars newer than the early 70's but I'm a Hurst Olds fan so I may have to pick one up. How did it go together?
Jehan17 Posted August 13, 2016 Posted August 13, 2016 Hey, don't shoot yourself too hard. Yes the first two photos make it look a bit rough but you have metallic paint and I can see in the other pics that it layed out nicer.Just wondering if the camera is not playing tricks on you. I do see that you are very good with the detail painting and a very clean builder at the same time.Keep 'em comming!
bbowser Posted August 13, 2016 Posted August 13, 2016 Nice, first build up I've seen of this one. Definitely on the must-have list.
KWT Posted August 13, 2016 Posted August 13, 2016 Looks good, bro... thanks for sharing! Makes wanna start on mine..

How did it go together? Thanks Craig ! The kit went together really well and did not come across any problems whatsoever. I'm only suggesting that if anyone builds this kit that you check the fitment of the front/rear glass as you need to trim just a little bit off of the top for it to fit but you need to be careful because the front/rear glass is very fragile and thin.

Hubert Rollins Posted August 15, 2016 Posted August 15, 2016 Nice... a buddy of mine had this exact car.... used to ride to school and back in it, as he got his license first. He got in trouble from burning the first set of tires up "powerbraking" it.
shoopdog Posted August 15, 2016 Posted August 15, 2016 Looks good to me, another one on my wish list.
bbowser Posted August 15, 2016 Posted August 15, 2016 A buddy of mine had one of these with a Cadillac 500c.i. stuffed under the hood, looked for all the world like the factory put it there. That was a fun ride!
c. jackson Posted August 16, 2016 Posted August 16, 2016 dont beat yourself up, its nice. i've been painting since the sixties and still not as good as these guys here. i'm gonna get that kit.
