I have a resin 57 that I'm currently working on. I'm thinking it's a Modelhaus or All American but not positive. At least the stapled parts baggies appear to be Modelhaus. And the quality is Modelhaus-like.

I think I found a 2010 search result that there was a resin 55 Roadmaster made by Star, but I couldn't find much else. Would anyone know if there are either the 1955 or 56 available as printed or resin? 54's seem to be common. Thanks!

Thanks!

And now they seem to have gone back from tubs to separate pieces in some cases in 1/25?

Roughly when did separate interior door panels/floors start to appear in kits instead of using tubs?

Congrats, beautiful build! Had to chuckle when I read that you added aftermarket headrests. I did the same with my 65 F-85 when I bought it from my girlfriend's brother in law in 69. What is the material you used for the seatbelts?

Thank you for all the nice comments!

Thanks for all the nice comments!

Finished up this 59 Olds flattop yesterday after a long build. Happy it's done and in the display case. Lots of time spent on the stance as the stock johan kit is slammed too much for factory stock IMO. Factory 59 Olds Russet color is from Scalefinishes with a Tamiya TS-7 off white contrast. Did the wider whitewalls with Tamiya white primer then sprayed flat clear. Revell chrome spray and BMF for all the brightwork. Thanks

Beautiful build! I have a Modelhaus 58 Lincoln hardtop in my stash. Hope it'll turn out as nice as yours. Great color choice too!

Thanks Jeff! I totally agree that having these Cadillacs (and other printed full size C body GM's and Mopars) is a blessing. If I'm aware of some body issues before beginning the build I can try and correct if at all possible. In this case I didn't. The front would definitely be tougher to correct than extending the rear quarter flare forward. Oh well, I'm happy with the build. I currently have a few more Cad's in the queue too.

Finally found a 57 Star Chief promo that has probably the least warp I've seen.

The boot came on a 65 Imperial cv I got years ago and I knew it wasn't right but the Imp got put away til recently and I was wondering where I might be able to use it if I could ID it. No plans for a convertible Merc right now, but I know I have a boot for it anyway 😂

The 63 Galaxie is close but it has kind of a hump across the width. Has ribs like the Merc though. Thanks

Bingo Mark... 63/64 Merc. Thanks as usual.
