Carrera Panamericana Olds 1950

[1959]

Hi all

Finally finished this Revell Olds with Jimmy Flintstone resin body. This was actually my first resin body build and also first time to try to weather a model as dusty and dirty. Body went to the chassis pretty nicely after a heavy thinning but the rear shelf in the interior needed to be modified. I used the "rear seat delete" piece of the revell kit and extended the shelf with a piece that had some similar structures from the spare part box. Paint is a quick one with spray can metallic green with clear coat over the decals. Weathering is done with few different AK dust washes. I probably should have air brushed it to get more dusty look, now it looks more like it has been driven in wet gravel road. 

I tried to add BMF for the trims but color peeled of in few places so I made the rest with Molotow pen. As this was made just  as a weathering practice I didn't put any efforts in the detailing. Thanks for looking!

Great weathering on this build. Looks exactly the way it should after that long journey. Thats one thing I have never been good at, so I have stopped trying.
