Hi to all.

Here is my just finished Sterling Marlin Oldsmobile from 1990.

Again, some bodyshell mods. 0.75mm card on top of doors and sills have been pulled out slightly. Can't really see the difference, but body just drops over side cages. No snagging.

Paint is Lifestyle Blue from Vauxhall/Opel. A GM brand too.

And like my Coors, TS smoke over the wheels.

And great to have this AMT box art version. A car I've always wanted to build.

The B & C pillars, I was unsure if to paint them black, then I found this pic. Both pillars are blue.

It is a different car and driver, but I'll take it. I remember on Randy's site the info of these pillars,them being a lot of times like this.

Very nice. I had forgotten he drove that car before Terry came back to Hagan. What did you do for your window net? Looks good.

Thanks very much.

And the net is with very basic low cost masking tape.

Thank you gents.

It's great to finally have an Olds.This bodyshape did have some great looking schemes.

And i was able to finish off the Sunoco blue rattlecan (as with my previous red car) before the paint was unusable.

Beautiful build, VDC. Everything looks awesome. Cleanliness of build, paint, decals and stance.
