WIP: 1950 oldsmobile rocket 88

[MrMiles]

Started this a long time ago and only recently started on it again. the paint is tamiya airplane/ship paint green/grey. I believe it is as-28

 

The interior is 2 tone with dark and light gray to match how the real car was. 

 

I still need to chrome the body and put it all together.  I got bmf, but i might just use molotow chrome pen.

Nice work so far. The paint looks great.

Thanks guys. I chromed the body using molotow pen. 

 

Before and after. No matter mow much i tuck the tape, there are always a couple of spots that the chrome gets under. Thankfully I found if you wait for it to dry and rub a cotton swab on it you can get it away with out any real damage to the clearcoat. one day i will learn to be more careful with the pen so i wont need to tape the whole car, and i didnt have patience for the bmf this time

Your 50 Oldsmobile is looking great.  I love big fender cars and trucks.  Nice work Miles.

Looks very authentic for its time period. Well done so far!

I think im going to call this one finished. I really like the build except the glass pieces and the mounting of the rims and tires
