Here's a die cast model that I re-worked last year.
This is Jada's 1965 Cadillac coupe deVille. I completely took this model apart, stripped the original yellow paint off of it,using a spray chemical stripper, and re-painted it light metallic blue with automotive touchup spray paints. Then I completely re-assembled it, and added details that were originally missing from it from the get-go. Door handles, lock cylinders,and the cowl vent grille.

Here are the results. Sorry, I only have this one picture for now.
