This one came from a Revell pre-painted die-cast kit. The body is the only metal part, and it had the Candy Apple Red, Pink, and Silver already on it. The half-roof was already painted white, too. I used two colors of flocking for the seats...... ......and I flocked the floor pan. So, I needed to tint the moonroof. I had these shades that you get from the eye doctor laying around. I cut a piece and put a dab of superglue on it and now have a tinted moonroof. The wheels in the kit didn't suit me, so I grabbed a set of Pegasus wheels and tires. I think they help this Caddy. And here we go, booming down the street. I flocked the door panels with black and gray, and used gray paint, along with some adhesive-backed woodgrain. This is a heavy build-up! Not my usual type of model to build(die-cast), but I wanted a Caddy from the 80's. Hope you like it!!

Looks lovely, i've never made a di-cast model mainly due to price and scale but that looks great, the only di-cast i have (apart from a Hummer my sone left here) is a 59 eldorado convertable in pink!!! often thought about re doing it, something other than pink the flocking looks particulary good, really add's to the effect, i think you just inspired me to do something with this caddy!
