Does anyone think the side view looks a little odd....

Perhaps a bit squat(is that a word?) Mabe the chrome is a little thick around the rear wheel, or lack of chrome around the side windows. I don't know. Anyone have a comment?
Also, a strange name for a model company. Is there a meaning here? Just thinking.

At a casual glance, if nobody had told me otherwise . . .

I would almost have mistaken it for the old Solido model (issued in 1985 in similar colours) with maybe a touch of BMF on the rear fins!

This new one may (or may not) be more accurate, but the French oldie will do me. It's an attractive model, particularly the open red version.

Hello Raymond, it's overall attractive but bumpers are here again quite heavily rendered. Front one is good, with lower sides parts too big but acceptable...

Rear bumper is the most problematic though, with a very thick look, especially on the sides, under the last quarter panel and fins.

Stamp will have to reduce the size of it to make it more refined and accurate, which they, apparently, are doing right now. Fingers crossed for that because it will be a deal breaker for me otherwise.

The rest of that prototype is pretty nice, but the car sits too low, which accentuate the heavy appearance... A better height on wheels could help here.

Solido's version is, for its age, even with way less details, still marvellous, so hopefully Stamp will have a look on this old Cadillac's rear bumper proportions to help them in that regard.

B pillar and rear window look too high on the Solido.
