58 Cadillac Eldo in Meridian Taupe Poly

[Porscheman]

This is an Arii 1:24 kit I built a couple of years ago. Painted Meridian Taupe Poly mixed for me by a local body shop. The top was done in Tamiya white and everything was clear coated with clear urethane out of the can. The white walls were painted with Tamiya white brush paint. I Admoralled the tires for the pictures. Of course I knocked off the side view mirror in the garage today and is gone forever

This makes a nice curbside.

Thanks Rich.

Do you have one of these if your "Class of 58" collection?

[Ace-Garageguy]

Yes indeed, great looking model. I haven't seen one of these built before but I've kinda been wanting one. I'm sold.

[Ramfins59]

Yes Al, I built the Arii kit of the convertible... Not a bad kit, just lacking a lot of detail in the engine compartment, which I made up for by adding A LOT. (I'm not trying to hijack YOUR thread here.)

[Porscheman]

Rich, your not hijacking. I love seeing you cars. Beautiful build. If I remember right it was a good kit with a few fit issues.

[Guest]

Beautiful!

[cobraman]

Both those Caddy's look good. I think that kit is better than I had heard.

Great builds guys! Al, I especially love your color choice!

I did mine in Polynesian Sand metallic!

[Porscheman]

Thanks Lee, Ray and Alan. Phil beautiful color. Did you make your doors functional?

[Eshaver]

Folks , that IMEX Cadillac is not an easy build . I built the H T myself an I consider myself to be a competent builder too. Everyone's work is so over the top here !!!!!!!!!! OUTSTANDING !

Beautiful work on these!!

[ChrisBcritter]

You all did beautiful work on these! That said, Arii really made a mess of the shape of that roof - I wonder if a modified '58 Impala roof would look better.
