The beginnings of yet another '50 Olds

[Agent G]

I normally do not subscribe to the hysteria that prevails upon a new release. Witness my Hudson is still in the box one year later.

But......I have been waiting for a 1949/50 Oldsmobile for so long now, when my kits arrived I dove right in.

Obligatory engine pics. I do love this kit's engine!

Here's my green of choice. (It's what I had on hand. )

First impressions are a mixed bag of "wow I like that" , to "why is there so much flash" and "why are there so many sink marks on a new tool?"

And so it begins......................

I remember a bunch of guys on some other forum going on and on about how these kits were just going to sit on the hobby shop shelves and collect dust. Looks like those guys are officially idiots now!

Now, FINISH the thing already!

I know I said I'd build the Pan America road car first, but I didn't.

i couldnt help myself G!....Any chance of getting some outside pics of the black to really see how deep it is!?>

I've never been much of a bandwagon type either, G...but this is just one of those cars. Glad to see another on the bench, especially since it's a different theme.

Thanks gents!

I just had to get started on this even though I have two other builds well in progress. I'll get some outside pics tomorrow if I can, I start my work week on Wednesday.
