Pics: Changings on my PremiumX Cadillac Fleetwood
After the changings, I can look on it with a little more satisfaction:
My Cadillac lost the fotoetched windowframes. The new windowframes are done in the oldfashioned way
by silver color and brush and a stady hand.
We had this year a hot summer in Germany, so let the windows open. Just the vent windows are with glass.
Another correction affected the cromestrip on the bottom (under the doors). I think it was too wide. I paint the
smale part on the bottom black. And at least, I correct the position of the front axle. They was a little bit too deep.

I approve!
Fine workmanship, Christophe. I plan to address the issues with mine this weekend and hope it looks as good as yours when finished. Thanks for sharing the pics. Now who will be the first to use bits and pieces of one of these to upgrade an original Corgi ambulance? They always severely lacked detail in the tail lamp housings.
