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.

Absolutely gorgeous. Your attention to detail is outstanding.

No doubt about it! Great work here.

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.

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.

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! B)

Awesome! I plan to do the same with my kit. Wonder if anyone is offering a resin split bench seat for this kit?

I could use one!  I'm trying to build a replica of my first car.  Need a flat hood and a split bench.  Wire wheel covers, too.

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 ;)
