'72 Cutlass Convertible (Day 2 car)

[The70judgeman]

All I can say is that looks familiar. Great minds think alike, and no I am not going to hijack your thread. I love red and white Oldsmobiles, and yours is a great looking model.

Thanks Ron! Actually I'm more of a GTO fan, but I'd take an Olds 442 if I could afford it...a real one that is. I take it you've built this kit yourself! I had to find a kit for the contest that I didn't build yet with a '70's theme and I accidently grabbed the Cutlass Supreme and not the 442. Turns out, somebody else in the contest built the 442 and our cars are almost identical...color and interior. Mine is more detailed than the other one though.

WOW!! Most beautiful cutlass sir!! Back in the 70's I had a friend who bought one of the 4-4-2's brand new, talk about a sweet ride, and FAST, that sucker would fly!

NICE JOB AGAIN!!!!

Thanks Jack...that's very kind! Someday I'll have a car like that again...not a convertible though.

Nice job on this one.

Are those scripts decals or photo-etch?

I also see Revell still needs to address the missing annodized strip on the trunklid with "OLDSMOBILE" stamped into it. Still not a bad kit, though from what I've seen said.

Andy, I love the ride, and that weathered engine looks very cool. Nice job, buddy.

Thanks Charlie. The scripts are decals over the molded script. I kind of pressed them in and then used decal-set. I lost the decal that goes on the trunk lid when it fell out of the tweezers. So there is no photo-etch except the seat-belt buckles on the car. It wasn't a bad kit except the body had a slight tweek in it. A little super-glue took care of that during final assembly with the chassis.

Thanks Doc. This was my entry to the CGG Classic. The weathering is AK Interactive paints. Sound a little familiar?
