Well worth a read it has been a privilege, as a someone who follows this board,, to see the model's master being created. The review of the production model by Harvey is well considered too. It is amazing how many significant cars from the early years have never been modelled, or were made in plastics that are not going to be stable for much longer.
My personal opinion is it is nice to see this rather than yet another car done for the Nth time just because it is a popular choice.
Cadillacs.........that's a great model Harvey and from a period in time that's not very well represented at all, however models of various Cadillacs are very "hot" at present with the recent release of those 1941 gems by GLM and the Esval 1928 341-A including the "Capone" version which look great, sadly though we don't have a 1/43 model of the great V-16 model from 1930-31, I know Rio made this as did Solido and FM and Ixo gave us the Limousine but we now need a company like Esval, GLM, Matrix or Neo to provide us with a couple of these great cars, I know that TSM have made a few V-16s but from the later 1930s, there were over fifty different body styles in 1930-31 by Fleetwood so surely a couple of these could be modeled at today's standards.....does anyone else agree ?
Thanks Harvey for sharing this excellent review with us.
