There are a lot of words that best describe Cadillac. How about these for starters….. beauty, big, luxurious, full of chrome and lets not forget power but yet purrs like a kitten. I can go on and on but I would never get this review done!

When the new release list came out by Revell and this Caddy was on the list, I had to throw my name in the hat for this one!! Before I start my review, there are a few things I need to address. For this kit being a 1/25th scale, I find that this body is way too big for its scale. Yes, this is a big car to begin with. If it should fall into any scale, it should be more in the range of 1/22. My point is, for its scale, it’s out of range of realism.

For the Modeler: It seems like Revell took a short cut on tooling this kit because of the snap-fit style assembly even though glue may be needed at times during assembly to keep the gaps down. On the plus side of this (yes, there is a plus side to this), this kit will make a very easy learning kit for those who are looking to get into the hobby or for someone who wants a simple build. But please be aware, there are some fit issues that you may run into. So I’ll get right to those points. Test fit, test fit, test fit. Because of the age of the tooling and modification from a snap kit some of the main assembly points need to be modified to fit correctly. Corrected part orientations, a custom paint scheme, scratch building the trunk area, interior gaps, “blacking out” the grill area, transmission alteration, cowling and radiator hose modifications for fit, a wheel swap and stock suspension choice are all fully examined in the Step-by-Step review.
