Opinions, Please
Would anyone care to venture an opinion on the BOS 1/18 Buick Caballero offering? Looks to be a very nice model in pictures and I'd like to take the step to purchase one, but I'm acting cautiously this time around.
Thanks to all who respond.

(LINKS) Ralph, here's what all of us said about this model back in January, 2016.
We liked the model but felt the wheel tracks (front & rear) were too wide (wheels protruded out too far).
Ralph, when you open the second link you'll find that Cliff Reed fix this problem (it's some-what easy to do) on his model...making it look MUCH better.

Thanks Chris....
Thanks Chris for the sending along the collective wisdom of the august group who commented on the Caballero. Of course, these wheel fixes in the hands of a Cliff Reed are one thing. In my hands, the outcome is likely to be something completely different!! But, I've taken the plunge. We'll soon see whether my feeble modeling skills are up to the "fix." Thanks again.
