Very nicely detailed. Well done! I like the basic Solido, also.

Very good detailed. This shows, that a cheaper and older model can be accurate

Did you wax or repainted this model?

I think this model may have been "improved".

Wasn't the Solido 1950 Chevrolet originally criticised for the major error of having a one-piece winsdscreen/windshield without a central divider?. Looks to me like someone has added that detail here before doing the foil work.

Having said that, some online images do appear to show the Solido with a slight raised rib embossed into the front glass (but it wasn't chromed or painted silver and wasn't really bold enough to be convincing). So maybe that was a revised version they did at some stage?
