VERY nice. What more can one say that hasn't been voiced here already. Beautiful real car, superb model.

Was never a big fan of brown cars, but dang there's something tasteful in that brown/white combo that really works here! Well done, the old MPC kit dolls up pretty nice!

Perfect mods to get a unique look out of a common rod; really beautiful.

Very cool and uncommon color choice, and it works like a charm! You did this old kit much justice.

I thought the front suspension was much more similar than that; my bad! I was referring mostly to pan/chassis, and wheelbase with regards to the Caddy unit. Looks easier to cut out the area between the rear rails and drop in the same from the Impala, scratch up new mounts for the impala control arms and use that rear end; then graft the Buick front suspension as suggested above. I still believe this would net a better appearnce than trying to stretch the Chevy X by 7 scale inches. The shortened (as needed) Caddy X would remain more proportionally correct.

The Monogram '59 Cadillac will get you closer to the right pan/x-frame/wheelbase, and it's nicely detailed.

Sweet! I love that you built it gear-up and flying; that's just how jets look their best, IMHO! Looks very authentic. Is the Zvezda kit accurate? They seem to have a spotty track record; some great, some duds.

Excellent craftsmanship, and a nice composition that leads the viewer's eye throughout the arrangement. Well planned and executed!

Cool pickup; and the color choice suits it nicely. Well done!

Couldn't ask for a smoother transaction than my deal with TarheelRick. Thanks again, man!

Glad to hear you may be back on these! It's been a fun ride-along.

Very nice looking models, and as much as I like a red car, that blue looks VERY cool on that body!

This is the kind of build I really enjoy following; taking what's in the box and making the very best of it! Keep it up!

I agree that this may be coming from the resin itself, and recommend your first coat be a layer of etching primer to serve as a barrier. I use this to prevent bleed-through on kits molded in red plastic. Etching or "self-etching" primers are widely available these days in spray cans. I know my Harbor Freight, Wal-Mart, and Autozone have a version, and I'm sure you'll be able to find some. You may decant it and airbrush it, or some spray good enough right out of the can; you just need a thin even coat. Use your favorite light colored primer on top of this, and paint away.

I've been using one of these for over 3 years now; an insanely great bargain: https://www.ebay.com/itm/5Pcs-Electrical-Wire-Cable-Cutter-Cutting-Plier-Side-Snips-Flush-Pliers-Tool-US/133244633012?_trkparms=aid%3D555018%26algo%3DPL.SIM%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20131003132420%26meid%3D3c800f8721d742e5902bde1781b0eef4%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D6%26rkt%3D12%26mehot%3Dco%26sd%3D352785013790%26itm%3D133244633012%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D0%26pg%3D2047675%26algv%3DSimplAMLv5PairwiseWeb&_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851

So nice.

Wow, that really has a very pleasing sculptural quality to it; I just enjoy looking at it! How big is the actual model?

Nice over the top 50s-60s custom car! This one has every trick in the customizers' bag-o-tricks thrown at it, and I love it! The interior is my favorite aspect, and I do believe I spy some AMT 58 Impala custom bits in there. The one no-no that nags me is the fact you added a flare to the radiused rear wheel opening but didn't repeat the flare on the front wheel opening; George Barris is rolling over in his bubbletop coffin.

Wicked color choice, that really wears that gray!

Good job! That color is NICE!

Kleeeen refined kustom, nice colors inside and out; what's not to love!

Also glad to hear this!

Didn't work... it's not red.

It is VERY nice.

Nice job, I see they are releasing a 1/1000 version in the coming months. I like the look of it, and you did a bang-up job on this little feller!
