Wow, very nice model. The improved headlights enhance the front view significantly.

Good job.

Gotta agree with that.  In addition to your usual dazzling paint, skillful foil work and accurate interior depiction, that headlight swap you've mastered adds a substantial amount of realism to all those old kits with molded-in chromed headlights.  The wire wheels were an excellent choice as well.

I thought the chassis turned out nicely too, but I have two questions for you:

1) Did you create some type of poseable steering or is that a feature of the kit?  

2) I noticed a body-colored segment near the middle of the chassis.  Do you have reference pictures for that?

I'd say you're off to a great start for 2016!

Awesome and outstanding..it is well executed & I love the wire wheels and color. By the way, would you mind sharing with us what color(s) the body was painted in; it appears to be a two tone paint scheme.

Unbelievable as usual Yuri!!

I've had one of these kits laying around for many years & never had the drive to build it.

I've been thinking about getting rid of it for a while, but now I'm not sure.

But then again, it'll never look that nice so why bother hanging on to it. :rolleyes:

You do great work and this is another masterpiece, probably the best Cadillac of this era that I've seen! Very nice paint job and great detailing all over. Excellent work!

If you dont mind me asking. Whats it like to gets models. kits or supplies in Russia ?

 Do you have hobby shops or is everything mail order.

Just curious as Hobby shops are rare around here these days ( only 2 in the area now ,,neither of which is heavily stocked in models. mostly either trains or RC stuff )
