my80malibu Posted June 15, 2014 Posted June 15, 2014 Missing link 50 Olds Convertible.if you have one did a search could not find any information.
gtx6970 Posted June 15, 2014 Posted June 15, 2014 If it's a Missing Link item, you can be assured it's a nice piece. I've got several items from them and not once have I been dis-appointed
Art Anderson Posted June 15, 2014 Posted June 15, 2014 I picked up this kit at the HMCA show in Indianapolis last month--as others have stated already it's beautifully done--the white resin is as smooth and clean as the Revell styrene body shell it will replace. The transkit includes the body, revised interior side panels, a narrowed rear seat (convertibles of course have a narrower back seat due to the intrusion of the top bow storage boxes into the interior), and a top boot. It's just so nicely done! Art
Sport Suburban Posted June 15, 2014 Posted June 15, 2014 Gabe, like others have said. Missing link casts some great stuff. I think I have about 10 of there kits, all beautifully done. My only suggestion is don't wait. Many of my kits are not available anymore.
my80malibu Posted June 15, 2014 Author Posted June 15, 2014 Ok Thank you for the Positive Input. I have the Convertible in the target sites, and pulling the Trigger.
kevin Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 why thank you all so much for the kind words! Gabe will ship tonight! Kevin
peter31a Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 I tried to resist but couldn't. By the end of the day I left NNL East with one. You will not be disappointed. It is a beautiful piece of work.

my80malibu Posted June 20, 2014 Author Posted June 20, 2014 Here is an Update on my purchase of the 50 Olds Convertible, from Missing Link Resin Casting. I recieved it yesterday "Thursday" in the mail, GeeZ I only Ordered it "Sunday" Which I consider Lighting fast delivery. Cast in a white resin, it feels a little bit Stouter/ heavier than the Styrene version, but is as beautiful as the kit body. I Only found two blemishes in the resin parts, one was filled with resin prior to shipping, the other is barely visible. The Molded seats have all Engraving removed, leaving them smooth which could be handy for some custom upholstery. I have not seen many of these Convertibles in my lifetime, Smooth may be completely Stock, I just Don't know. In conclusion I would like to say this is a Fantastic kit for a beginnner, just starting to use resin, or a more experienced modeler who prefers resin kits. Whatever your case Missing Link has put out a Nice product here, and if you bought one you would Not be disappointed. Thanks Kevin. Keep putting out the Great Products, I will buy more. Happy 10th Birthday, and many more. Gabriel.
