FactoryStock54 Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 Pretty much straight out of the box except for the tires. Used Tamiya TS (?) Light Metallic Blue straight from the rattle can for the exterior, hand-brushed Polly Scale RAF Azure Blue and Reefer White for interior with Gunze Silver and Bare Metal Foil highlights. BMF exterior trim (as opposed to the crinkly "stickers" that came with the kit).
FactoryStock54 Posted July 31, 2008 Author Posted July 31, 2008 (edited) Beautifully finished Cadillac, Jerry!!! Thanks, Kurt! This is one of those models where it was almost impossible to take a bad picture! Of course, that's because of the car itself; the camera loves those beautiful land-cruisers of the 50s; they look like they're flying standing still! Glad you liked it!

forthlin Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 Beautiful job! I love those old 1950's cars, especially the '57-'59 Caddys.
KyModelMan Posted August 2, 2008 Posted August 2, 2008 Great looking Cadillac! I'm a sucker for those old Caddys. I've built two of the 59s.
FactoryStock54 Posted August 2, 2008 Author Posted August 2, 2008 Thanks for your compliments! I also plan to build the 59 Seville HT at some point. (Visualizing a metallic red car with red and white interior). These are such great kits! I'd really like to find a resin body for one of the more "common" 59s or 60s (especially a '60 convertible)with the more understated trim. The Biaritz is stunning, but I really like the more "plebian" look of the series 62 cars; saw a real-live restored one at a museum in Hempsted TX a few years back and was very impressed (they also had a couple Roll Royces which weren't nearly as interesting!)
