Revell 1957 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham

[Sidney Schwartz]

I'm even worse at taking pics than I am at building models. Several people have commented that this isn't a very good kit, and I have to agree, mostly because of poor parts fit. Also the dash looks very little like the real thing. Despite that, I like it and have ordered another one. Now that I'm familiar with it I can do a better job of fixing what's wrong. Paint is DecoArt craft paint and Tamiya clear, and didn't come out half bad, I think. Chrome is Kryon, sprayed on the large side piece and brushed on the smaller bits. Top is BMF aluminum, which I could not manage to buff very well. Thanks for looking.

For having built this kit, I can attest to its difficulty. Yours turned out quite nice. Great paint job and nice color choice, goes right with the era.

Looks WAY better than how mine came out.  That kit is a dumpster fire.  Excellent job.

Don't beat around the bush. If you don't like it, just say so. ?

Thanks, all. This was one of my first after getting back into the hobby after a long absence. The results are encouraging.
