Ron Hamilton Posted August 27, 2016 Author Posted August 27, 2016 I saved a Johan body for this procject; marrying Johan and Revell. Any fit problems ? I find mixing kit manufacturers is a challenge To me, it was not too difficult, but the cuts on the body have to be precise, and there is a little scratch building involved. The hardest part was joining the JoHan package shelf to the Revell interior floor and sides, Also, the Johan rear bumper must be used, as the Revell bumper is too wide, Very nice !!! Is it a resin body or a Johan one ? To me this kit is one of the best Muscle Car kit available, still have to build mine also.... No, it is basically a mish-mash of the Revell kit, and the roof section and rear bumper from the JoHan kit.
Janne Herajärvi Posted August 28, 2016 Posted August 28, 2016 Nice, gotta love those steelies with dog dishes
mikemopar70 Posted August 28, 2016 Posted August 28, 2016 You did a really clean job, your Olds looks fantastic?
disabled modeler Posted August 28, 2016 Posted August 28, 2016 Ron....those are VERY NICE...! Beautiful builds.
Ron Hamilton Posted August 28, 2016 Author Posted August 28, 2016 Thanks for the kind remarks on the build.A funny side note on the Dog Dish caps, back in the day when these cars were new, or available to be purchased, If I were to buy a car, I would have never considered a set of doggies, but as I have gotten older, I appreciated the look, and built several muscle car models with them, as they look great with deepened wheels, and an upgraded tire, either red lines, or white lettered. Whitewalls with doggies always looked cheap to me, especially on a full sized upper level car. Even black walls always looked better with them to me.I picked up several sets of dog dish caps in resin over the years, and I have some sets left to install on some future builds.To me, stance and running stock is very important,
KWT Posted May 20, 2018 Posted May 20, 2018 (edited) Nicely done. I love an Oldsmobile. Edited May 20, 2018 by KWT
Dragonhawk1066 Posted May 25, 2018 Posted May 25, 2018 That is some really nice work. I love these old cutlasses. Owned a '72 way back in 1984 and 1985.
