StanGlover Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Here’s my Revell Cadillac lowrider! This kit was a blast to build and went together very well. My only gripe is the fit of the lower body cladding and chrome trim panels. It’s painted Tamiya TS-8 Italian Red for the body, with TS-45 Pearl White for the vinyl top and interior. I did the interior over black primer to give some shadows in the crevices, but after 4 coats it still looks kinda silver or light gray in person. It looks fine to me though. Vinyl top is painted over gray primer and is the color I was going for. Anyway I definitely plan on buying another one of these kits! I do wish they made this kit with a 2 in 1 stock option but I like the lowrider look too. I built this kit for my brother as a tribute to the ‘73 Coupe DeVille he and I both owned. That car was a similar bright red with a white top, white seats and black dash/carpet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanGlover Posted May 25, 2021 Author Share Posted May 25, 2021 That’s the inspiration, our old ‘73! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Explaining your painting technique for the interior is interesting. The interior finish is very realistic looking in the photos. Very cleanly built. and great looking paint finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's done a similar process on several of his videos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMT68 Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 Beautiful build all around and the black primer under the interior color is worth investigating since I do many white interiors myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
