Monogram Olds Aerotech

How does the Olds Aerotech build ?   I don’t remember ever seeing one built.

Hi, Carl. Here's a thread I found.

Daniel, Thanks for digging that up!   I enjoyed that build.   Here are some more pictures of mine.

Carl - If I recall correctly, my biggest issues were: 

• getting a clean (and symmetrical) line between the colors
• filling the seams for the air intakes/outlets
• I actually glued the top rear cover to the body.  I botched the "QUAD4" decals and the jaggy looking seam between the top and bottom rear of the car was my own fault - I ran Tamiya panel line wash along the seam before the glue set.  

I have another of these in my stash and I think I'll go for the long tailed version.  Or maybe just make up something.   

Looking forward to seeing what you do with yours!

My son built one as a kid and had some difficulty, but he got through it. A builder of your caliber should have no issues. I've always thought it would make a slick Batmobile.

That's pretty sharp looking.
