I bought a white metal model when I told to myself a few years ago I was done with this media for its lack of details.
The truth is I bought this Conquest 1952 Buick Riviera 25 years back in Blue at issue time but It went away when I sold all my 1/43 collection of exclusively Buicks in this scale.
The reason I bought one recently is there was a gap in my very focused 1941 - 1952 Buick Collection and I remembered having detailed it extensively. This is the Green version and I like it better.
So, the added detailing I did is as follow: Roof antenna, hubcap logos, better whitewalls tires, gas door trim, all red badging on trunk and hood emblems and also chrome Super scripts on the rear fenders. I also added a chrome exhaust tip.
Sorry for some blurry pictures.

Your enhancements look great especially those tires, but I'm surprised you didn't color-key the rims too. This is good looking Buick model.

@chris You are correct. For accuracy, the wheel rims should be the same as the body color. Red is also acceptable.

I have the model but mine doesn't look anywhere as good as this. Wonderful job of detailing.
