Tom99 Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 I decided to do something different with my 1985 Oldsmobile 442. I currently own a 1985 Oldsmobile Calais Supreme, so I decided to build a Cutlass Supreme in matching colors to my Calais. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
American 185 Heavy Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Absolutely gorgeous. Your attention to detail is outstanding. What wsw tires did you get to fit ?? The chrome wheels on this model are strange, and am wondering what you used... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom99 Posted December 18, 2018 Author Share Posted December 18, 2018 The wheels are the factory stock one, that came in the kit. I added the body color to them, as per the factory option. The white wall were done with a white gel pen, and circle template. Thank you both, for the kind words. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Looks perfect. I was going to mention the optional wheels as you pointed out. I remember when these were a common sight on the road and I think the color was called Firethorn or something like that. Take real good care of your 1:1 as these were good cars.

Classicgas Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Very nice. Not your error but those tires are so wrong. Big goof for Revell. No way could you get bias ply tires in 83. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrObsessive Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Very nice! Along with the '73-'77 Colonnade cars, this version of the G-bodies I like as well. You mentioned you used a circle template for your whitewalls.....I'd be curious as to how you did that. Perhaps you'd like to do a tutorial sometimes? Tire type notwithstanding they look FANTASTIC!

christian-w Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Like it Got the kit yesterday and I'm not really sure in which combination I'll build it. Stock or the FE3-X showcar. The main aspect is the missing T-Top for the FE3-X version. The fact, that there are only two built, it should have the T-Top. You can see it on Revells box too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
