hpiguy Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 Nice reissue. Lots of parts, can be built stock height if you wish, will require parts box wheels and tires for stock look.
louie Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 Great to see you doing another model car review. I for one appreciate you taking the time to review these kits as it not only helps me decide whether or not to buy the kit but it also helps me become a better builder. Thanks hpiguy. Jeff I usually buy the kits!
Ben Posted March 26, 2017 Posted March 26, 2017 Sold me on it! Gonna grab a couple when Tower Hobbies has them back in stock!Thanks for the review!
martinfan5 Posted March 26, 2017 Posted March 26, 2017 This has been out for awhile now, anyways, for the people looking to get one, it was good that Revell reissued it, the price on Ebay for one of the previous issues were darn near around $100.

I'd buy a few now if you still want some.

Ben Posted March 26, 2017 Posted March 26, 2017 I normally snatch up kits as soon as they become available but until this review, I wasn't interested in this kit, thinking it was a lowrider only kit. Now that I see it can easily be made into a stock Cadillac (minus the wheels) I want a couple.

Now that I see it can easily be made into a stock Cadillac (minus the wheels) I want a couple.Stock-ish. It's kinda a mishmosh of years. It's like a mid-80's Fleetwood Brougham 2-door with an early 90's front end and body cladding. Pretty common swap in the lowrider scene. Edited March 27, 2017 by Brett Barrow

crazyjim Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 Thanks for the terrific review. I have that kit on my bench to do a review for IPMS.

Ron Hamilton Posted April 1, 2017 Posted April 1, 2017 I built one of those when the kit first came out several years ago, and I really liked it. I bought a Donk version of the kit, and promptly got rid of it, because of the hideous interior. I was able to pick up another one before they disappeared.My Dad's last decent car was a '81 Coupe DeVille, which was a good looking car. I would like to modify one of these into a replica of his car. He would be proud.
Casey Posted April 23, 2020 Posted April 23, 2020 Looks like this kit might be in line for reissuing soon? I thought it had been OOP for a while now. RMX-4438 1/25 Cadillac Custom Lowrider (Re-Issue) (MAY)

RMX-4438 1/25 Cadillac Custom Lowrider (Re-Issue) (MAY) Yeah last release was 4 years ago, and it seemed like it was on the shelves for about 15 minutes before the limited reissue run sold back out again.
randyc Posted April 23, 2020 Posted April 23, 2020 Here is my version, built to a more stock appearance, just for reference. Wheel covers actually came off the AMT 56 Ford. But they look stock enough. I *think* the tires are Satco wide white painted and scraped on the narrow rib.

Casey Posted May 24, 2020 Posted May 24, 2020 (edited) Looks like it's already out?: Edited May 24, 2020 by Casey

Rob Hall Posted May 24, 2020 Posted May 24, 2020 Interesting that they kept the same box art as the last reissue.
