Chuck Most Posted June 3, 2012 Posted June 3, 2012 I've been hunting around for one of these- I'd planned on converting an MPC Caprice into one, but I'm not feeling up for it. Am I missing any sources?
lizardlust Posted June 3, 2012 Posted June 3, 2012 R&R Resin has a repop of the Juha Airio mastered 71 Olds Delta 88 2-door hardtop.
Chuck Most Posted June 3, 2012 Author Posted June 3, 2012 I was afraid the R&R piece was the only shot (short of finding an old AAM casting). Might have to go that route.
peter31a Posted June 3, 2012 Posted June 3, 2012 R&R should be all right for what you're doing cuz once you put that steam engine on it nobody will notice any imperfections. What? This isn't for the same project?
Edsel-Dan Posted June 9, 2012 Posted June 9, 2012 I like that one. If Juha Airio mastered it, I would Not expect some one to call it only passable like most of their other castings But, I have no idea what they may have done to the master before casting
Chuck Most Posted June 10, 2012 Author Posted June 10, 2012 True, Dan- but in this case it isn't the quality of the master I'm worried about, its molding quality. The last few R&R Delta 88's I've seen in person had quite a bit of core-shift evident in the casings, in addtion to rough plating. R&R is notorious for running their molds right into the ground.
