krishna.iskandana Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Hi again guys, This time I will post an old monogram kit, a '59 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz. I bought this kit for 15 Aussie dollars during a regular swap meet in Perth, WA. It was built oob, spraypainted with tamiya italian red and then clearcoated with gloss clear from Mr.Hobby.The interior is tamiya primer flat white. Let me know what you think and thanks for looking.

bbowser Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 One of my all-time favorites, you did it justice. Nothing screams 'look at me' like a giant red Caddy. Nice job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry P. Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Question: Why did you paint all the chrome parts silver? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krishna.iskandana Posted May 5, 2012 Author Share Posted May 5, 2012 Question: Why did you paint all the chrome parts silver? Well.......I built this one when I was home in Indonesia for holidays and I couldn't find any model stores which are sophisticated enough to sell bare metal foils or even chrome paints, and I thought that applying the chrome stickers that came with the kit just wouldn't do the model justice. Thanks for your comments guys Regards Krishna Iskandana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your comments guys Regards Krishna Iskandana The chrome stickers are just for the side trim strips. But the bumpers? The windshield trim? The front and rear grille? Why paint over all the kit chrome with silver? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why paint over all the kit chrome with silver? Oh, I see your point now, well I must say that I did that because I wanted to obtain a single tone color for the parts that should have been chrome. I thought it would look awkward if I spray painted the side trim silver and I left the bumpers, windshield trim and the front and real grille chrome.
