Bruce, James, Michelle, and DanL thank you for the compliments.

According to Scalemates, this kit was first released in 1998. I thought it was a little earlier than that but they are the recognized authority. In any event, that would be when I first built this kit. It was airbrushed with MCW Enamel Panther Pink/Moulin Rouge, with no clearcoat. This was the original MCW and I believe a different enamel than is currently being sold. It airbrushed very nicely at the time over light grey primer. The build went fine with no issues, except when it was completed, I misplaced the instructions and decal sheet. So, I packed it away and forgot about it. I did build other versions later on, but those were Pro Shop kits. When I moved 10 years ago and downsized to a smaller home, the finished kit, thanks to the moving company, was heavily damaged, along with numerous others. Recently, while looking for something else, I came across the original decals and instruction sheet. I proceeded to rebuild the kit, using its original parts and a few new ones from a recently purchased issue of the kit. Since I had the original 27 year old decals, and new backups, I thought I’d give the originals a try. Surprisingly, the original decals went on, although they didn’t want to cooperate, and were actually very difficult. Nonetheless, after all those years it’s finally complete. I realize now that I could have done some details a bit better, but it’s really not bad for its age. Thanks for looking.

I'm diggin' this Caddy. Low and mean looking. I agree, the interior is glowing against the satin black.

What a beauty. I had no idea a car like this existed. Your build is flawless and quite striking.

Very nice, I like the color a lot.

Great build, really nice color, and that stance is all business. Very cool.

Awesome work, both of them.

Gorgeous Chrysler in every way.

Beautiful. What a find.

Very nice 30 street rod. Very cool color and engine detailing.

Very cool 64, very nice detailing.

Cool looking Five Seven. Looks good in metallic red and steelies are a great addition.

I really like your build of this car. Very well done, good color choice, and your interior is awesome.

Very well done build, great color, nicely detailed.

Very nice Mercedes. Like the car and the background as well.

Outstanding build. Gotta love a 67 Vette in black and red.

Beautiful exotic, clean, well done build.

That's a wild color, very cool build.

Man, that's a real beauty. Amazing color and shine, very well done.

Another very cool build. I really like that color, and the wild blown engine gets one's attention.

Very nice. I particularly like the frame/underside.
