Jo-Han '70 Oldsmobile Toronado

[Csaba aka felhasznaaloo]

This one turned out to be a challenge, not because it is a bad kit, just me dropping parts and messing up paintjobs. I even accidentally scratched the top of the dash, and I did not have any left of that shade of paint I mixed for that. So I threw a copy of Car&Driver in... Thanks for looking.

Great looking paint work, like the two-tone colors. I'll have to remember your save on the dashboard. The wide whites compliment the overall look.

Always a Toronado fan. Our family owned a 68 and a 71 back in the day. Fun to see your model.

Very nice clean build. Nice photography too.

That looks beautiful.

Unusual colors but it works with the wide whites!  Nice job.

[Yeah Nah]

Never seen this kit before. Great job and thanks for showing!

Excellent build. Very nice color combo, great details, nice to see the wide whites.

As modelers, we try to capture realism in our builds. You definitely accomplished that!

This brought a smile to my face, you seem to know the recipe for sharp looking builds, keep ‘em coming ?

[Csaba aka felhasznaaloo]

Thank you all for the really kind words.

Thanks. After the original whitewalls from the kit cracked, while I was trying to 'turn' them with the drill, I ended up using these tires from the AMT '70 Impala Fire Chief kit.

Never been a Toronado fan but this is a great looking model! The model looks better than the actual car as I remember it.

Csaba....man this is cool.  Sign of a true model car .. prevails over adversity and finishes the model project anyway.  And gets a very, very sharp result anyway.   Big congrats....TIM

That looks great!  Excellent workmanship.

Can I ask if you painted the headlights?  What did you use?  They look really good.?

[Classicgas]

Beautiful.

[Supernurd]

Looks like a real car!  ?

[Lunajammer]

Beautiful. Super clean. The wheel treatment really stands out.

Great looking build! The magazine on the dashboard is a nice touch up to hide inaccuracies and it adds detail to the interior. Used that solution too some years ago.. .?
