'59 Cadillac Eldorado

[Kit Basher]

Here's my take on the ultimate blingmobile. Revell kit. The paint is AutoAir Sparklescent "Real Teal" with Tamiya "Racing White" roof. This thing hurt my BMF supply, but it sure was fun.

I have that kit, scared about all the chrome work.  Did you use Bare Metal foil, instead of using the kit's chrome tape?  The beautiful paint overspray underneath is a nice touch.  Awesome that you built it and did so well!

[Kit Basher]

Thanks Kurt! My kit didn't include any chrome tape. They provided decals for the body chrome. I used BMF instead. It took me a long time to build this kit, but I really enjoyed it. Give it a try, you can handle it.

Well done Hugh..... that is one serious amount of chrome work ! My preferred period of automotive history is around the 1958 - 1959 years, for both English and American motor cars. Maybe one day I shall build a Cadillac Eldorado, alongside my collection of Rolls-Royce models. Your paint finish and detailed assembly of this kit is excellent..... thanks for posting the photos.
