Yep - it's pink. Cool

Looks like a fun build though.

Thanks for all the great comments! The paint is Tamiya TS-59 Pearl Light Red; right out of the can. I bought it by accident, thinking it was more red; but it really works with this kit!!! I've now found the 1/24th version and I'm thinking of making it the same way!

I gotta build me one of those!  Many years ago, I owned a 1960 red Cadillac convertible, (a real one) almost identical to the '59 except the tail fins were a bit more subdued.  Building that kit would bring back some great memories- they don't make 'em like that any more!

Gimme a pigfoot, and a bottle of beer...

It looks nice. unusual pink color or is it just the lighting?

the 1/25 monogram caddy i drilled out the grille by grinding off the back of it to open it up. would that work for this kit?

I'll see what I can do! And, yeah, it didn't take too long to build altogether; most of it was in the painting/ foiling. I think actual assembly was a couple hours or so!

Man, that just looks like a fun build and even with all of your detailing I'd imagine the 1/32 gem went together pretty quickly?

Sure looks the part now and put a smile on my face.

Thanks for sharing.Cool

I was looking for something a little simpler to work on before tackling my next project; so here's Revell's 1/32 scale 1959 Cadillac El Dorado convertible. This was a fun distraction!!! I think this model was made for a type of motor though. This kit was good for Bare Metal Foil practice too.

I guess, sometimes, even a simple kit can turn out nice!!!
