Done! 1972 Olds Vista Cruiser

[Austin T]

Wow 6 models gave their life for that wagon, but the end result looks well worth it.

don't you mean that six models came together and merged to craft this amazing wonder of styrene. To dramatic?Nope,not at all.

[W-Machine]

You certainly earn my seal of approval with those fine looking Oldsmobiles!

[am73grand]

Thanks every one!!!!

Realy like the pair of Olds. You should think about doing a resin body of the wagon for those of us with less talnet than yourself. Very well done.

This looks good! Very sharp build on unique subject, I have to say that you did awesome job with that body. Paint and finishing overall looks very good to me, too.

What inspiring work! I would love to do a Vista Cruiser. C'mon, Revell, you're halfway there already!

[MrObsessive]

Very nice and interesting conversion! If you don't mind, could you tell us which kits you had to use to make this? Don't hold me to this, but down the road I have something similar in mind, but perhaps a different year.

Gorgeous, Ron.

Please make sure to bring those up to the show in March, or make sure they get there. I'm sure Doug or Norm would be happy to pick up/return if you can't be there personally.

Great job on the wagon Ron, I don't know how you manage it on such a small scale (must be smoke and mirrors).

[kruleworld]

That's brilliant, but i would have put the mags on the sedan and dog dish on the wagon.

[RatRodMarc]

[S. Svendsen]

[Lunajammer]

Beautiful original work. The pair looks even better. You should be proud.

[Grumpa]

WOW! This is really cool Ron. I took a look through the album, and you did some serious surgury to create this wagon. Awesome work and vision to complete this build. Really nice!

They are the custom wheels and caps from the Monogram Pro-Modeler 1958 Corvette.
