Finished up this 59 Olds flattop yesterday after a long build. Happy it's done and in the display case. Lots of time spent on the stance as the stock johan kit is slammed too much for factory stock IMO. Factory 59 Olds Russet color is from Scalefinishes with a Tamiya TS-7 off white contrast. Did the wider whitewalls with Tamiya white primer then sprayed flat clear. Revell chrome spray and BMF for all the brightwork.

Thanks

Very attractive. I have always liked 59 Oldsmobiles since I saw my first real custom car in 1962 which was a 59 Olds. I wish I have got a kit or resin body when they were still available

Very nice! I like 59 Olds very much  and this reminds a of one 98 flattop  that was in my home town in the late 80's. Color combo and paint job is excellent on this build. Well done!

Beautiful paint finish and colors. Clean looking chrome trim and what you can see of the interior it also looks well done and the color match the exterior.

Unusual to find four door versions of 50's vehicles.  Your research and detail really show.  Nice work to be proud of.  Don't you wish the Jo-Han molds still existed?
