Alan R Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Hi All, This is another one I have rescued from the 'forgotten in the mists of time' shelf. I had kind of started this a loooong time ago, not sure when. Must be over 30 years ago, I think. Anyway, I have rescued it and plan to work on this as well as all the other stuff I am working on. So, pictures: This is the box-top: Looks quite aerodynamic. Hopefully, I can make a good stab at it. This is where I have got so far: There's two choices of version. A short-tail and a long-tail. This, if I recall, is the long-tail variant. There's an awfully long way to go with this one. Thanks for looking, Alan. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thud4444 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 (edited) Good lord, I haven't seen that car since it was on the car show circuit. Oldsmobile had some insane designs over the decades didn't they. You gonna stay silver with the build? Much better looking car than the Aerotech III- Edited April 16, 2018 by Thud4444 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that I will stick with the silver for this one. Cheers, Alan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan R Posted June 10, 2020 Author Share Posted June 10, 2020 Hi All, Another year has gone by, but some progress has been made. I started on the tyres. This is what they looked like from the box: They seem to be moulded in vinyl. Somehow they were (are?) still flexible with no cracks. But those seams! This is what they look like now: I used a very coarse sanding stick to get this, but it does look more like a slick tyre now. Here are the body parts, seams removed and polished ready for primimg: I have primed the body panels ready for the colour coat. I think those pictures are still in the camera. Thanks for looking. Cheers, Alan. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
