Very nice!

Was able to cross off the 72 Riviera from my wish list.

I've kept a spreadsheet on my Google Drive for a LONG time and I track most everything I should do, have done, or shouldn't do for each build I start. Like Greg, and lots of us, I >try< to focus on one project at a time but I get sidetracked often (I guess that keeps me from getting burned out on just one project) and keeping track on my sheet is a good thing. I also keep track of colors/paints/clears etc on a separate sheet as well as spoon paints. I currently have like 210 spoons in my stash and often refer to them when trying to decide what colors to use. Lots better seeing a color on a test spoon rather than guessing at paint in a bottle/can and wondering what it would look like after dry. Some colors I do two spoons with white and gray primers. Anal? Yes.

The 59 Lincoln is similar but the 60 Linc isn't. I think I'm going to go with Steve's guess that it's close to the 60 but just not exact. The emblem in the center could well be an attempt of a 60 olds. I'm looking for 4 covers for the 59 Olds and I came across these in my stash and was just wondering which they were. I knew they weren't 59's though 😒 Thanks!

Thanks for the guesses/opinions 👍

Is this a '60 Olds 98? Or? Thanks!

Good option Bill, thanks

What I was thinking. I'm waiting on some custom made Cadillac decals for a couple of builds but figured I'd ask here just in case about what else might be out there. Thanks

Mid fifties to maybe 1970? I have a few printed kits that unfortunately lack any kind of markings, emblems or scripting.

I'd already checked both of these sites before posting but only MCG had anything Cadillac. The 59 set is a possibility but still hoping to find decals if they're around too. Thanks

Looking for info on which, if any, 1/25 Cadillac kits came with decals that could be used on stock builds. Like small emblems, dash stuff, scripting, etc. Thanks!

Thanks for all the replies.... I was only curious as to which kit I may have used them from. They are pretty versatile with both sized whitewalls though. I knew they were AMT, and they had to be relatively new. Lately I've been doing more late 60's or early to mid 70's printed stuff and can use differing styles of tires that were used in that time period. I know that the Supremes faded out at some point but I still like them as some of the better detailed kit tires. Often it seems the tires and wheels included in these printed kits are off quite a bit for 1/25, more like 1/24 or even a bit larger.

Never knew about that site, thanks!

Thanks Mark

Would anyone know which kit to find these 1/25 tires? One side narrow, the other wide. Likely a new kit by their condition. Thanks!

Great tip Greg! I use my H quite often and this'll be a nice change.

I wouldn't be surprised at all if it was a bit smaller than 1/25, even some styrene kits aren't accurate. I have quite a few printed kits in my stash and only a few of them scale out perfectly to 1/25. The remainder are mostly 1/26 and maybe a hair smaller than that even. I collect primarily full sized cars built factory stock, so having a big Cad or Imperial scale out a bit smaller is ok with me. Personally I'd much rather have them 1/26 than closer to 1/24. If all body dimensions are scaled correctly, just a bit small, I'm ok with that especially considering all these printed kits I have (and will get) are subjects I can't get in styrene. Beggars can't be choosy I guess.

Just out of curiosity, it sure seems like most all 3d prints (at least the ones I've built and have in my stash) have a deep-ish diagonal line on the front fenders and then another in front of the rear fender wheel wells. Not impossible to deal with but just wondering why they're there. I know nothing much about the printing process. Thanks!

Thanks for all the nice comments... I appreciate it! Take care

I have a long-ish reply to a member that I can't seem to send. I keep getting the "ooops page not found errror". I sent him a short one that appears to have gone through however. Is there a word limit to a PM?

The printed bodies I've done so far have all required more sanding than styrene obviously. It's probably the biggest drawback but it can be done if you have patience. Each one I build I get better at it. I also use Mr Surfacer 500 as my first primer coat. It's a bit heavier primer and I find it helps with the little fine printer lines you might miss. I just recieved another order from Diolex (the GP was bought last year) and the three kits all seem to be somewhat smoother but still look to need a fair amount of sanding. I'm currently prepping a 70 Cad Deville convertible and spent yesterday aft sanding. I'd say it's almost close enough to prime. There always seems to be a printer line that's usually obvious on the top of the front fenders, behind the wheels. I know next to nothing about how these are printed but those are the spots that take the most effort to correct. At least for me.

Overall happy with this one, but not without problems along the way that I didn't go back to correct. It's now in the display case and I'm relieved it's over. Nice kit from Diolex and went together ok but had the usual wrestling with fit and finish. Scalefinishes 68 Pontiac Nightshade Green airbrushed with Tamiya Racing While (flattened with semi gloss afterwards) for the vinyl top. Thanks for looking.

Thanks John

Yes, the Johan. I couldn't find the kit instructions for the 67 online.

Are the headlights, grille, and front bumper separate pieces or are some attached to each other?
