62 PONTIAC CATALINA

DONE!

cool pontiac

Marvellous Pontiac. It's looks great. Well done.

Sweet build Adam, turned out very nice mate, looks great in that colour too.

That looks fantastic Adam, well done.

...what they said. Very nice.

Damn that looks good.
I would have used a darker blue but that shade makes me think again. Excellent.

Good job Adam, always wondered how that kit looked built

Very cool Adam, beautifully built mate.

Nice clean build

Don't want to hijack your thread but I have a question.
How different is the '62 Catalina (this one) to the '63?
Anyone know?
They look the same in the pics I googled.
I ask because I would love to attempt a "Swiss Cheese" '63 Catalina using this kit.

had a bit of a look at pic myself and rekon that they did use the same body but the 63 grille as markedly different from the 62 also the taillights are different and would require a lot of work

Just doing a bit of poking around and found this:

He used a GTO as a base kit.

63 Catalina had squarer (is that a word?) body work. Headlights and taillights were completely different also. As was already posted...a lot of work.

This link lists a resin body for a 63 Catalina:

Don't know about availability, but it's a start. It's a ways down the page, so don't give up...it is there.

Read up on the 'Swiss Cheese'...brilliant...and a wonder it held together.

nice work on the Catalina.

That's turned out very nice and detailed mate. Definately 10/10.

Nice one mate!

Real nice work , I have this to build and it is great to see a finished one ( hope mine comes out as neat as yours ).

Thanks DV8 & Tom.

Nice build, very clean. I love the crisp tyres and wheels in this kit......makes the car I think.
Well done.

nice work, the colours work well together

Really a beautiful model, she was beautiful. I think a wash in the body, in pairs sunken give more life to the model.

Hugs.
