Jeffcad Posted March 2 Posted March 2 Hi everyone. Here's a 1/25th 1953 Cadillac Superior Ambulance resin kit from Robert Burns (Too Many Projects) that I have just finished. A "first ever" in that scale, thanks to Bob who keeps bringing on the market incredible kits. I took some liberty with the front compartment's accuray and used an Oldsmobile donor, but the rear section is scratched built and inspired by pics of the real car found on the net. Her Dark Copper tone have been inspired also by many real Cadillacs of that era wearing this pretty cool color. Decals are converted from the '59 Ambulance by AMT. Accurate hubcaps and tires have been 3d printed by a friend. Thanks for watching. 11 1
Jay Whittaker Posted March 2 Posted March 2 WOW, that is a really nice piece! You did an outstanding job! 1
karbuildr Posted March 2 Posted March 2 Outstanding build. I really like the color and interior detailing. 1
Ragtop Man Posted March 2 Posted March 2 Awesome! Pro car builds are very rare, nice job! Does anyone know if there is a 1960 Cadillac 75 Limo in 3D yet?
espo Posted March 3 Posted March 3 The body and trim look great and the body proportions seem correct to me. Like the interior detailing. 1
happy grumpy Posted March 3 Posted March 3 Beautiful and rare. Great to have one shown here. Excellent choice of color. Great job. 1
Pierre Rivard Posted March 3 Posted March 3 Bravo Jean-Philippe. Your build looks very very realistic. Dark Copper is an unusual color for an ambulance but it really works. Inspired choice! 1

Hi Bob, thank you for your kind words. Unfortunately, there is no Series 75 limousine available on the market. Decades ago All American Resin did a '59 limo but it's now very hard to find, plus it's sometime banana shaped now. I'll be thrilled to have a 1960 limo.

Overall, the proportions are not bad, although the front fenders are falling down a bit too much on the headlights. They should be a bit more horizontal. Same for the hood. The front and rear Dagmars are a bit large, but the door handles are way too big. Not a deal breaker though. This ambulance is so exciting that I've decide to build the series 75 Limousine that Robert also offers.

The color changes a bit from regular red or white, although many Ambulance of that era had that similar copper tone. Glad you like my model !
