Windshield Visor

[Zippi]

I'm looking for an exterior sun visor for my Revell 1950 Oldsmobile Custom.  If someone knows of one that will fit from another kit or a resin one please post what kit or a link to a resin part.

I don't know if they will specifically the '50 Olds kit, but AMT did a sun visor in the '55 Chevy Cameo Pickup kit (and there are a couple of the parts on eBay.  Also, Galaxie had a sun visor in a couple of their '48 Chevy kit.

I don't know of any resin casters offering any, but I do know there are a few 3D files out there that could probably be adjusted to fit the Olds body.  I downloaded one from Cults3D that just said it was for 1/24th vintage scale autos.

Thanks for all the info.  That's a nice looking one.

Let me dig through my stash this weekend. I may have some old Hoppin' Hydros visors for a 50ish Chevy. And I have an Olds kit to check them against.

haven't gotten to it yet. Yesterday's battle to keep my basement dry aggravated my health issues.

I found them. I have three Hoppin Hydros custom visors. I believe they are actually for a 39ish vehicle, maybe Chevy. They are resin and will need work to smooth them. I tacked one to an olds. If you would like one, PM me with your address.

All 3 are plagued with those pinholes. From the photos in your build, you have the look. This is quite similar in style. Have you thought about using rolled pans from 49 Merc. 50 Fords, etc as a starting point?
