1970 Olds Cutlass S

[WheelsAreEverything]

I finished this some time ago and it's one of my favorite builds. It's the Jo-Han '70 442 kit with some PE parts, Cutlass wheel covers from Fireball Modelworks and tires from Modelhaus. I used PE hood grills meant for a C2 Corvette that looked close to the Cutlass front grill pieces. I didn't do much to transform the interior so it's pretty much the 442 stuff, but I did find a similar looking steering wheel from a '69 442 kit. I think the side mirror came from that kit too.
This model was built as a kind of tribute to my father's car that I learned to drive on. It was light metallic blue when new, but in the later 70s he had it repainted to a nice darker blue, which is how I remember it and the color I was going for on this model.

Beautyful! awesome build it's nice to see a stock build from time-to-time perfect color I loved the Jo-Han kits i had a lot of them growing up and been lucky to find some through the years.

Oh damn! Simple and perfectly executed!  Really nice job on that, would really get the nods at NNL.

Great looking model and good job on the pictures. They could definitely be mistaken for a 1:1 at first glance.

My jaw literally dropped. Excellent, excellent build. I have a huge soft spot for a Cutlass S.
