Ramfins59 Posted February 4, 2019 Posted February 4, 2019 Here's a Revell '50 Oldsmobile done up as a mild Custom. This one has been on my bench for several months because I couldn't get the interior and chassis assembly to fit properly up into the body. The rear seat and pkg. tray needed some trimming, and the dashboard needed to sit lower...... all found by repeated trial fitting and trimming and refitting. The colors are Tamiya Light Green on the roof & wheels, and Tamiya Pearl Green on the body. The flame decals are from my parts stash as are the taillights, spotlights, lake pipes and baby moon hubcaps. The mirror & antenna are scratchbuilt. The interior pieces (except for the dash & steering wheel) are resin pieces by Ed Fluck. The dash is painted the roof color with BMF & Molotow pen trim along with the kit decals. Black embossing powder was used for the carpets. The horn ring was chromed with Molotow ink and a custom shifter was added (courtesy of Forum member James Scott a/k/a Joker......Thanks James.) along with a turn signal lever using a piece of shirt pin. I added an MAD prewired distributor and battery cables in the engine compartment along with some chrome "bling" with Molotow ink. I wish it sat a bit lower but I'm OK with it. I'm glad that this one is finally done. Now on to the next one...... I'm on a roll lately for a change. Any and all comments are welcomed as usual.

TooOld Posted February 5, 2019 Posted February 5, 2019 Another beauty Richard , love the colors ! We're used to seeing these slammed to the ground but I like the nose up stance , I recall seeing a bunch of cars from this era with that attitude .
donb Posted February 5, 2019 Posted February 5, 2019 Another fine looking model Rich. I like the green pearl. The flames are a real nice touch too.

MeatMan Posted February 5, 2019 Posted February 5, 2019 Nice build Richard! I like the little custom details you added. Classy!
