THarrison351 Posted June 14, 2020 Posted June 14, 2020 To continue my builds of these annual molds AMT butchered in the '70s I give you the final one I've completed, the 1965 Oldsmobile 88. This along with two others, was built soon after September 11, 2001. It's one of those things that sticks with with you. I built these in quick succession and then other things happened and I never built the others. I still have the rest and would like to finish all of them. Anyways, I tried to duplicate the box art. When I pulled this one out of storage I noticed the decal's carrier film had yellowed. The other ones have yellowed too, but it's not nearly as noticeable. I also included a picture of the box art of the Modified Stocker kits I need to finish.
OldTrucker Posted June 14, 2020 Posted June 14, 2020 (edited) I still need the Torino, Chevelle, 64 Galaxie and 66 Impala. Also want to do the GTO using the Buick kit. They look even better if you scuff the tires and round the edges a bit. Love the box cover builds you have done on these! Edited June 14, 2020 by OldTrucker
TonyK Posted June 14, 2020 Posted June 14, 2020 Fun! I never paid that much attention to the box art on this one but you nailed it. I like how well you did the white stripe down the side and everything else.
stavanzer Posted August 9, 2022 Posted August 9, 2022 Still a Sharp Build. Did you ever get to work on the others?

I'm currently building all the models I started and haven't finished in the last thirty plus years and the ones my son gave me. I look forward to getting them one day. 1
spkgibsonfirebird Posted November 26, 2024 Posted November 26, 2024 That's how it's supposed to look, great build, I've got two of the original '69 Torino Cobra Modified Stocker kits to build, I need to find new decals for them , mine are all dried up and falling off the decal paper.
Chuckyg1 Posted November 30, 2024 Posted November 30, 2024 I've built this one. a simple fun build. Yours looks great.
Sledsel Posted December 2, 2024 Posted December 2, 2024 Great looking build!!! I have often wondered if adding some bleach with the water when using old decals would help?
