Dragonhawk1066 Posted May 31, 2022 Posted May 31, 2022 Here's my outcome of the Revell Foose Cadillac Eldorado kit. I painted it with Anita's Metallic Galvanized Tin through my airbrush, and cleared it with Krylon Short Cuts Gloss Clear from the can. I then wet-sanded, polished, and waxed the finish. The top is a custom mixed shade of gray also using craft paints through my airbrush. The interior was airbrushed Mission Models Aluminum, with a darker mixture of the Galvanized Tin airbrushed on the inner seats and door panels. The body color was airbrushed onto the top of the console for more contrast, and the carpet area is the same color as the Convertible Top. I did the chassis in various shades including Mission Aluminum, and different shades of the Galvanized Tin, all through my airbrush. I used BMF on the side trim, and added plug wires on the engine for added detail. My frame, convertible top, and interior platform were slightly warped causing a few issues at final assembly, but nothing a few well placed clamps and clips couldn't overcome, except for the top. Otherwise this was a very nice and good fitting model kit, and a very enjoyable build. As always, thanks for looking! 1

bisc63 Posted June 3, 2022 Posted June 3, 2022 Just excellent. Shows the importance of color on a car, custom or otherwise. It would be hard to choose another color that so compliments this body. Gorgeous take on Foose's attempt.
