How about these for starters&#8230;.. 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!<\/p>\n<p>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\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s out of range of realism.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><strong>For the Modeler<\/strong>: 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&#8217;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, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153blacking out\u00e2\u20ac\u009d 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.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>To see the full build and review &#8211; just select one of these payment methods for $2.99 USD.<\/p>\n<form action=\"https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/cgi-bin\/webscr\" method=\"post\"><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"cmd\" value=\"_s-xclick\" \/><br \/>\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"hosted_button_id\" value=\"XM6JVUN7MBU7S\" \/><br \/>\n<input type=\"image\" name=\"submit\" src=\"https:\/\/www.paypalobjects.com\/en_US\/i\/btn\/btn_buynowCC_LG.gif\" alt=\"PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.paypalobjects.com\/en_US\/i\/scr\/pixel.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" \/><\/form>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">\u00c2\u00a0 <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Important!<\/span> &#8211; You MUST click on the &#8220;<span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">Return to Right on Replicas, LLC<\/span>&#8221; link after you&#8217;ve made your purchase to download your review!<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Right On Replicas, LLC \u00c2\u00a92012 All rights reserved. *All registered trademarks are the property of their respective brands.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\/\/ <![CDATA[\nvar gaJsHost = ((\"https:\" == document.location.protocol) ? \"https:\/\/ssl.\" : \"http:\/\/www.\"); document.write(unescape(\"%3Cscript src='\" + gaJsHost + \"google-analytics.com\/ga.js' type='text\/javascript'%3E%3C\/script%3E\"));\n\/\/ ]]><\/script><br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\/\/ <![CDATA[\ntry { var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker(\"UA-7543364-1\"); pageTracker._trackPageview(); } catch(err) {}\n\/\/ ]]><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>  This is a Step-by-Step build and review by Rich Clark of the Cadillac Custom Lowrider 1:25 scale Revell kit #85-4991 for Right On Replicas, LLC.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[59],"tags":[1330,1333,1332,1331,1325,1326,1327,1323,1124,1324,1328,1329,223,210],"class_list":["post-2243","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-kit-reviews","tag-85-4991","tag-85-4991-kit","tag-85-4991-review","tag-1331","tag-cadillac-custom-lowrider-125-review","tag-cadillac-custom-lowrider-kit-review","tag-cadillac-custom-lowrider-model-kit","tag-cadillac-custom-lowrider-model-review","tag-doug-cole","tag-pittman-cadillac-custom-lowrider-model-review","tag-revell-cadillac-custom-lowrider-kit","tag-revell-cadillac-custom-lowrider-kit-review","tag-rightonreplicas","tag-ror"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.rightonreplicas.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2243","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.rightonreplicas.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.rightonreplicas.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.rightonreplicas.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.rightonreplicas.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2243"}],"version-history":[{"count":11,"href":"http:\/\/www.rightonreplicas.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2243\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2259,"href":"http:\/\/www.rightonreplicas.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2243\/revisions\/2259"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.rightonreplicas.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2243"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.rightonreplicas.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2243"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.rightonreplicas.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2243"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
